Gmail just recommended that I upgrade my version of Internet Explorer. It was an ad for IE7 with the Google toolbar installed. But I am using Firefox so there is no way I want to upgrade my copy of MSIE.
I expected their system to be more clever than that. I think browser-specific ads is an excellent idea. People who use Firefox are more likely to be technologically savvy and so they should get ads for techie things. In the same way, people who use Internet Explorer should get ads for anti-virus software.
I read somewhere that some people don't keep blogs like this in case a future employer stumbles on them and disagrees with the views, thus ruining the blogger's employment prospects. Considering that I am unemployed and that I just badmouthed both Google and Microsoft, I am now glad that nobody ever reads this blog!

As a clarification, I am not unemployed. I work as a translator, as stated elsewhere on this blog. What I meant was that I am not employed doing something I really want to do. Like be a professional computer nerd.
