Scrolling down there's the Nike and Hermes editions. Maybe this is a cultural difference between here (Frankfurt) and elsewhere - I fail to understand how one would willingly pay extra to advertise a brand. The way I see it is that Nike for example should pay ME to wear their branding.
And even then I wouldn't. I'm not a walking billboard.
Surprised to not see Albums included. Every time my camera roll updates with photos from my phone or compact there's another notification about this new album that Windows created for me.
I. Never. Look. At. Their. Albums.
Writing this makes me wonder if there's a way to turn it off and why I've never thought to look...
Not so much about how long they've lasted, it's about products being EOL'd with no recourse. And there are many! Like zeitgeist, wave, sidewiki, aardvark, pagecreator, reader, Talk, iGoogle, Buzz, Picnic.
I in turn am ambivalent about a not ads supported Google. Like you, I love (loved) their products. However even if they said they're not ad supported I can't believe them. And so I've migrated to other vendors. It'll take an act of god to get me to use any of their stuff again.
