6. I love Google Earth
The first night I stayed up till 3 am playing around with it. I wish all areas were sharp, though. All the places I lived as a kid are blurry.

Most of their services come with targeted ads; anything that only works online naturally talks to the google servers.
fact is: nothing is for "free" unless it's free (like GPLed software) and google is rapidly turning into the "new" Microsoft.
