Oh come now....surely you don't believe that? The whole reason for Gmail is advertising....and it's clever....it doesn't 'give out your addy, etc', it taps the advertiser on the shoulder and points at you physically and says 'HE MIGHT JUST WANT YOUR PRODUCT...WITH OUR HELP AS AN INTERFACE WE [YOU] GET HIM' <img src="http://images.stardock.com/i

What made you think you had to download anything ? You do have to register to post, but don't you have to do that to be able to post on any board? You don't have to download anything to register. Registration is free, so I don't understand the issue here. And I have to agree with what the others have said, NO SPYWARE in Stardock applications. There are well over 1 million registered users (in fact you are number 1,470,358), so I don't think that many users would have re

A lot of ISPs, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc, all scan keywords of your emails for spam. No difference. Very true. And it's just a program that runs the email against a list of keywords, if any matches appear, it triggers an advertisement link.

joetheblow , do you use Google to search? If so, what's the issue with privacy? There is no difference in the advertising that Gmail uses vs. the advertising that Google uses. When you search for something in Google, it uses the words from your search as keywords to show links on the right hand side of the page. You choose if you want to click on a link or not. The exact same thing happens when you read email on Gmail. Links are provided on the right hand side of the pag

I'm a land surveyer I too used to be a land surveyor. For about 10 years, I worked in the mining industry as a land surveyor. Mining had so many layoffs, I decided to make a career change. I now am a UNIX Systems Administrator. Sorry to hijack this thread, but you are the first land surveyor I have seen on this site. By the way
