‘Gmail’ becomes ‘Google Mail’ for UK users

Google recently announced that they are changing the service’s name here in the UK due to a trademark dispute. From today, all new invites sent to people in the UK will be for @googlemail.com (rather than @gmail.com) addresses. Nothing changes (so far) for existing users.

Why is this happening? The dispute with gmail.co.uk has been rumbling away for a while, and this seems to be the result. Google are still contesting their right to use the Gmail name in the UK, only now it’s being done in court.

    I know that asking this question on your web site might be unethical but I believe my girlfriend is unfaithful on me. You know, coming in home late from work, going outside with the girlfriends all the time. Rinsing the clothes as soon as she gets home. We don’t even do it any longer Do you cats got any points as to how I could discover the truth?
