Google offers Terabyte e-mail limit?

According to this article on CNET and a bunch of blogs all over the net, Google quietly increased several Gmail users' storage limit to 1 terabyte. I just checked my Gmail account and it's still showing 1 GB. Google didn't comment or make any announcements, but my guess is that it was just a glitch in their system that they have fixed (or will fix). I also wonder if it was a sneaky way to garner some additional publicity in what has become a bit of a competition among email providers, with Yahoo announcing increased storage space as well as Lycos Europe unveiling 1 GB of email storage.
