Lucky me. I get to be one of the first to test out Google's new
Gmail service. Upside: 1 GB of storage. Downside: context sensitive spam - which means that if I get a mail from someone about the new DVDs they've just bought, Gmail will 'helpfully' inform me about where to shop online for movies. Privacy advocates are up in flames, but I don't really have a problem with it. I'd rather have spam tailored to my interests and needs rather than another "vi@gra" mail in my inbox, and if computers want to read my private messages, they're welcome to it.
Oh, and (a late addendum here) the words I promised today will, for practical reasons, have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry about that.
