I don't like the concept of GMail one bit. When you delete an email, it should be gone. No such luck. But wait, there's more... automated profiling.

And Larry Page says:
"It might be really useful for us to know that information. I'd hate to rule anything like that out."

Fuck that also.

California's fighting it now, though not quite for the reason I expected. They are attacking it because of the keyword ads that would be put in the emails.
