That's why I don't use GMail and most of their other services...

Currently I do inventory control and data entry for a group of tile warehouses. And I'm sure that has something to do with...?

I think the Google notebook is potentially a great thing for consumers and will continue the trend toward, "internet appliances", but it really does seem like Google is fighting the last war (the war against MS) and not the future war that Apple is killing people in.

At the end of the day though, it is still a client/server business model and has all the drawbacks that the model has always had.

Not especially. But Canada doesn't really want me either.

Is this related to a criminal record? Are you even allowed to cross the border?
