Because GMAIL gives the most for free?

I have a 2GB yahoo account because I'm an internet customer with an associate company.  And hotmails biggest account is 250MB

Google's relationships with government officials in all of the dozens of countries where they operate are a mystery, because Google never makes any statements about this. But here's a clue: Google uses the term "governmental request" three times on their terms-of-use page and once on their privacy page. Google's language means that all Gmail account holders have consented to allow Google to show any and all email in their Gmail accounts to any official from any government whatsoever, even when the request is informal or extralegal, at Google's sole discretion. Why should we send email to Gmail accounts under such draconian conditions?

from the gmail website:
Is Google reading my email?

Answer:

Google is NOT reading your mail. Privacy is an issue we take very seriously. Gmail is a technology-based program. Advertising and related information are shown using a completely automated process. Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables Google to effectively target dynamically changing content, such as email, or news stories.
Because the ads and Related Pages are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.

If you'd like to know more about how Google handles your Gmail information, please read our Gmail Privacy Policy.

google reading your email with a computer is no different than how ANY bayesian spam filter works. Hotmail does it. so does any plugin u get for OE/THunderbird etc. i don't know why this is so different.

Im just thankful I signed up for Aventuremail instead.  Gmail and its adverts ARE NOT what I want to see every time I go to my mail.

Oh, I know someone that is selling a set of 5 invites on Ebay.

I would like to start out by pointing out my title:

I like to take the side other ppl don't take. You have to agree that some of these theories out there are just nuts. That is what makes them so funny.

Take this badger... I bet you didn't know that in 1962 he was one of the only survivors of the Roswell Mexico crash.
Right now he is transmitting subliminal messages to your brain.

LOOK AWAY!

This would also explain why I had to edit this thing three times in a row.

These ads aren't half bad... the ads on hotmail are bigger than on gmail.

Just aswell I don't use Hotmail for mail.  All I use it for is MSN, lol.  Anyway, i'd rather M$ scanned my emails for keywords than Google, at least we know M$ won't piss about with the data, selling it to the highest bidder.  They'd just target us with M$ Products, which 99% of you use, lol.
