So What if Google Loses Gmail Trademarks?
Google Loses More Gmail Trademarks does not mean the end of world for Google. I think Google did the right thing by not buying out G-Mail.

WordPress T-Shirts
WordPress T-Shirts are being sold but it is not mentioned how much of $15 is going to WordPress.org. I love WordPress but if only a very tiny portion of $15 is going to WordPress, well, it doesn’t make sense to me to spend $15 on a t-shirt.
