flash ads eh? I'll take flash ads over any run of the mill google email set up, where they openly note that they scan your emails. Such a crazy privacy invasion by there part that you agree to when you sign up for an account with them.
Google plans to make money from the service by inserting ads into messages based in part on their content, effectively extending its AdSense programme for presenting contextual ads in Web pages to email.
The service will not be available without the contextual ads, which will feature existing advertisers signed up for the company's AdSense programme, which already provides contextual advertising around search results. Some users might feel a little uneasy about the idea of Google effectively reading their email in search of advertising prompts, so Burns is quick to emphasise that this process will be done in software, rather than by snooping Google employees.
I like that "Snooping Google Employees" . it makes you think though. A program is reading every word you send to a friend and every word your friend sends to you, and then they place ads for you with what ever that content is in there. I forsee a HUGE problem with this. Hackers will be able to meta tag stuff into emails that will flood your 1gig inbox with porn, adn ads for removing that. hella funny. 
So again to the age old question.

It was my understanding that Google simply had many more websites indexed. That's why I use it.

You can also just search a movie and usually the first result will be google's link into it's movies interface for that movie. |
