Agree. I can remember when companies getting their hands into so many different areas like this used to be considered a bad thing. For some reason, most people seem cool with Google though.

Or just use AdBlock for Firefox/Chrome. If you're using Internet Explorer, I feel sorry for you.

I'm using chrome, but I like the Hosts file because it's much much faster and it blocks the websites on every application

This Can be BAD for the Gaming Industry (keyword is alienation) but I don't think is going to happen, if Google can't make an OS that allows you to play games like windows...
