Real worries? or another mistake?

So Google mistakenly announced the great GMail idea on april 1st. This was probably not the best choice. Of course it was the Lunar Job which was the prank. The idea of Google providing free email was for real

So some people read the small print and get worried. What? A privacy problem with Gmail? I have two points to make about this. Firstly sticking the ads in will be done by machine. so who cares? I think of it as formatting…. of cours there will be some indication of content, if yo had all the information about the ads served… but that would be a general trend, and not specific as to what you were doing in your email. I would have thought some other organisation would probably have at least the ability to do that…

Google does point out in its tems and conditions that deleting your message may not remove it from their system. well. fair is fair. I doubt Hotmail bother writing all those random ones and zeros so that one couldnt look at their disks and see the spam i had just deleted…. Delete is not delete. even on your home computor. I dunno.
