Me encontré ayer en del.icio.us un interesantísimo artículo sobre Joshua Bell, el violinista más importante y reconocido hoy en día.

Google no para de trabajar. Ahora llega un invento que sin duda revolucionará el mundo: Gmail Paper.
Is it free?
Yes. The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.
Is there a limit?
You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you.

Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.
Aprovechadlo.
