I am in love with Google, so I will be in line for a Gmail address. They're claiming no pop-ups or banners, but:"Gmail does include relevant text ads that are similar to the ads appearing on the right side of Google search results pages. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers using the same technology that powers the Google AdSense program. This technology already places targeted ads on thousands of sites across the web by quickly analyzing the content of pages and determining which ads are most relevant to them. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers."
First, it is a fact that we are living in the future when you can say, in all seriousness, that "no humans" will be involved. Also, the ads that are picked to accompany e-mails will undoubtedly offer loads of unintentional humor. I don't know why I just said "loads." It makes me feel like I'm in a Harry Potter book.
