It's funny how you consider Baidu "smart." That's not the term I'd use to describe a search engine, lol. Besides, it's relatively simple technology. I sometimes use google as my spell check when I'm typing up obscure city/scientific names, etc.
Where'd you hear of this? Oh well, it's not like I write anything important in emails. If they are really interested in what happened between Sparky's Friend A and Sparky's Friend B then they're free to read! I'd still pick Gmail - it loads fast, has a simple but useful design, lets you chat, has an automatic address book for you...very convenient.
Net I must say that you do get overexcited at the chance of us agreeing on something! Every time we agree on something it is as if Bush resigned!
