gmail?

anyone else having a problem with gmail? it says i have x number of new messages, but then when i go to my inbox, they're not listed. but they show up as "X new messages on the sidebar" very weird.

like this: http://i.imgur.com/uKzrj.png

happening in chrome and firefox.

also, where do you store your digital photos? hardrives? a specific website? if so, which one, and do you pay for it? my pics are sucking up a lot of my HD space and i'm considering uploading them somewhere.

EDIT: at what point does a fever become worrying? mine has been steadily climbing over the past few hours. it was 101.2 around 10pm EST, and it's now 103.2.
