You are a human capable of completely understanding (hopefully) the context of what you are parsing, we call this reading.
A machine knows that "dishwasher" is related to "dishware" because somewhere there is a huge table that defines this. It does not know that you are calling your friend Joe a "dishwasher" because he's the one that does the dishes in your house, which is why you'll see ads for Corell dishware, and not part-time work in restaurants.
If this was a joke then I'm sorry, this has been a long set of comments of people not understanding reading and parsing:(
Your email is still being scanned though. It's not so much about having to physically see the ads as it is allowing their programs access to your mail in full without much option to the contrary.
Am I not allowed to want something I know I cannot do myself? I want to someday travel in space. I guess I could... try to.. build a spaceship? It's a ridiculous statement that someone must do for themselves, everything. Kind of flies in the face of the whole "shared human experience" thing.
Exactly. I think this entire "GOOGLE READS YOUR EMAIL HOLY SHIT" is blown out of proportion (as many do 'read' [and can we stop using this word, it makes us all sound naive] your email), but at the same time I don't want anyone targeting ads at me; it's just kind of annoying. For every "good ad" I have enjoyed, there has to be years of ads I've consumed that I've cared less.
But they still read my email to filter it for spam, got it. At least they aren't making any money doing the service for me? If the problem is machines reading your email then why do we allow any sort of robotic email reading?
Because while some people are out there trying to answer the questions of what makes anything we experience, happen, there are people out that that actively get in the way of such research because they are afraid that the answer will not be:
I'm sorry did you say credibility, because all I heard was the sound of a lucrative state-wide exclusive contract to sell my crazy alternate-history books.
But how far is the center of the Earth from the Moon? Sounds like you've been brainwashed by the scientific media to believe things that have been vetted for generations.
Which is sad because while evolution has many, many hard facts pointing to it's existence (or at least getting close to proving it as you can prove anything else), creationism has very little of it's own peer-reviewed work. I would love for evolution to not be the answer, because it means that life is more complicated than that - and that's pretty neat.
Unfortunately I don't think there is much evidence on the contrary, or we'd probably have more than just a few religious-based entities producing some level of research on it.
It opens the same way you opened it before, the windows key. Unless you actually move your mouse around and click on things one by one. In which case I feel sorry for your loss:(
(but yeah Win8 doesn't feel the need to tell you anything, and that really hurts it)
There is no discoverability within Windows 8, it's the worst aspect about it. A note on the Metro apps: you aren't "supposed" to close them, and in the early DP versions there wasn't a way to close them at all. They have their own memory-management/PLM processes, and when they haven't been used for a set time - they Suspend and close in the background.

The problem is that they parse your mail to sell the ads, not that you have to physically look at the ads.

"They" being robots and algorithms.
"reading" just makes us all sound stupid.

In any case, I'm angry that the googleplex is reading my private correspondence.
So is Google the only company that scans your email?

so why not have both, cant we all just get along?

You cant have the universe without G-d
God put them on our planet for our enjoyment. Just like cancer, death, and hangnails.

[...] Jesus Christ, despite being God, somehow failed to see [...]
You realize how crazy this sounds right? Anthropomorphizing an all-powerful being?
;D *nudge*
I mean he was LITERALLY GOD, but we all make mistakes eh?

Vastly overstate.
(and MSFT but that won't happen as long as the sweaty retard is in the big chair)
Well then, welcome to Slashdot I guess!
But what if they shut down their servers, come to your house, beat up your dog, and marry your future wife???
How great will Steam be THEN?
Your heart is working.
For now.

You can just alt+tab. Or win+tab. Or alt+esc. Or win+#.
SP1?
You mean Windows 9 next year?
Because you can move to the bottom right and do the same thing. Or press WIN+C. Or maybe because Microsoft isn't really great at UIs? Who knows.
