Google rolling out Gmail 2.0…quietly
Much like the recently-introduced and much-beloved IMAP support for Gmail, Google is now rolling out what only rumored to be true a month ago: version 2.0.

Just months after hearing that San Franciscans would be forced to deal with the collapse of a seemingly inevitable citywide WiFi access plan, wireless addicts in St. Louis will be mourning similarly.
