Hi Ignacio, I was watching a movie with my wife, but I just approved your comments. Here's what I replied to your comment over on my blog: "I hope you guys can invest more on privacy and take the heat." Ignacio Zendejas, I think Google has invested more on privacy than most other companies. I'm not aware of any advertising company that has done as much on the Google Ad Preferences page (e.g. to the point of writing a browser extension to opt-out of ads even when people flush cookies). The Dashboard page is also pretty rare in terms of bringing information into one spot. Earlier this year we also flipped on default HTTPS for Gmail too. I'm not aware of any other major webmail provider offering HTTPS after login authentication, let alone turning HTTPS on for every Gmail user by default. It takes a major investment to offer HTTPS by default, and it only costs money -- it doesn't generate any revenue for Google.
