I like how not only do they know every e-mail that I have ever sent and received, but now also which e-mails that I have read and responded to, but now even which e-mails are important to me! Wow, can you also begin to tell me what to write, and then we'll be in business!
What a beautiful concept and executed product. AirDropper lets you ask someone to send you a file, gives them a web interface for doing so, an automatically lands the thing in your DropBox account.

It is paternalistic, bigoted, offensive, and downright un-American.
I think that Frank Rich's op-ed of how the fight against the cultural center is a fight against America's wars in the middle east. It's worth a read, too.
