Google says Sorry for Spamming CR-48 Notebook Owners

Non-story. Wake up get 60 emails, delete them all quickly using gmail, never think about it again.

I knew what happened right away and I assume the people who got a CR-48 figured it out quickly as well.

Nicest feature of gmail is that I can quickly and easily using keyboard shortcuts delete all the junk email. Wish outlook 2003 webmail was this simple at work :(

I was really confused when I woke up this morning to find 255* unread emails on my phone.

* It seems that Apple uses a single byte to represent app notifications as the true number of unread emails was closer to 300.

Edit: thanks

I have a question. I see on that page the following URL:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/chrome-notebook-pilot

Recently I see the characters '#!' more often used in URLs. Why? What's the reason behind it? I know that a # in an URL denotes the 'fragment', but what's the advantage of using it in this case? The page to which the URL refers to doesn't even need the browser scroll to a certain part.

I see google deleted the whole group. Is there an archive of the group anywhere? It doesn't seem useful now, but future historians may appreciate being able to browse through the messages.

I opened the first one, clicked "Filter messages like this" and then went back about my day. Was really displeased to see all the whiny brats cursing and screaming and literally making threats because they received some email...
