based on geographic location. No good can come from this!

Yawn, yawn and more yawn. Google is a publicly traded company.

Your comments about targeted advertising based on geographic
locations are wrong. If you own a ski supply company, what
purpose would it serve to have ads dished out to people in
I don't know say Las Vegas or Miami.

As for the rest of this rambling... Old and inaccurate news.
