Why privacy is a big deal is beyond me, as they are upfront on what they plan on doing (scanning email to match to ad providers). If they were doing this secretly, that'd be different. But if you're told, then, as a previous poster said, you know the situation and can decide to use it or not.
There's also a discussion about the concern that keeping email for a long time could be a privacy or security concern as they could be supphoenad (yeah, I know its spelled wrong, I don't care!) and such. Well, duh! Same is true with any mail. If you're concerned an email will bring you ruin in the future, delete the stupid thing.

These 'blockbuster' game productions are more expensive and DO NOT produce better games. The industry may be ready to crash again...

This new GMail service does not support Safari -- just Netscape and Mozilla on the Mac. I wonder why.

If anyone is worried about security issues, don't use the service.
