Brad Barnich was one of countless readers to note that Google has begun accepting job applications for its new Copernicus data center. I imagine this will eat a sizable portion of their IPO profits, however with this new center not opening until 2007, they at least can take their time!

Did you read the fine print though on GMail? They're going to be showing ads based on the CONTENT of your email. Now, I'm sure people will say that everyone already shows ads based on who you are. But I for one don't want a half-page ad for a penis enlarger showing up on my monitor at work when I'm trying to discretely communicate via email with my doctor about the real thing- a $10,000 surgery I'm lining up!
