Adsense nonsense
Gmail has ads. Ads that read your mail - in a non-invasive way, we're promised - and having read your mail promote 'targetted' ads from information gleaned from the contents of your mail.
Like a pizza restaurant sending out guys to rifle through your dustbins then report back the contents to suggest new topping combinations (I say this as it can be the ONLY explanation for some of the weird shit combinations being offered these days. Lamb and pineapple? Chinese chicken?)
And you know what, I don't mind it. It can only offer me something useful. The add links might one day get me to click through if they happen to scratch the itch I'm emailing about. But how in the world did they offer me this as my topline banner ad?

No. No. No. No. No.
If you're going to rifle through my mail, then at least have the courtesy to READ it. It's a simple post operation. It's not brain surgery, you no-good wastes of womb space potential.
Oh. Hold on...
