As noted previously, if you mark the important ones "more important" and mark the less important ones "less important" then it will eventually work itself out and you'll be fine. Or, if you choose, don't use the system.
So a joke with a political figure in it is automatically trollish? Why has everyone lost their sense of humor when it comes to anything remotely, and even indirectly, political?
If I had chosen GWB (or Dick Cheney) then the AC probably would have found it funny./sigh
Does that little fact really matter when someone's phone is still compromised once all is said and done? And couldn't a trojan open the door to viruses and rootkits?
I'm not part of the "political right" nor am I part of the "political left"... But I am able to make a joke about someone in the political world without the joke being politically slanted. Honest. Read it again and substitute anyone else's name in there.:p
It is also based on which ones you READ. So if you read all of those NO-REPLY emails you get then it will still consider them more important than other ones you do not read. If you are one of those people that read everything you get (or at least mark everything you receive as read) then you might be in trouble. And I'm sure this will remain an optional feature for quite some time.
The trick, seriously, is to not make your subject too long or too short. A LOT of people read email on tiny screens these days so long subjects just make life difficult. Really short subjects don't give enough information about what the email is truly about, so people will arbitrarily read or not-read it based on incomplete information -- which is neither good for the sender nor the receiver.
Ads on the Kindle does not mean ads in ebooks. I imagine Amazon is going down this path to push a version of the Kindle that is much less expensive for the consumer to purchase up front, assuming they are willing to put up with ads. Amazon would sell a LOT more Kindles if the price were $50, even with ads.

It's the SCO defense... where have you been?
Unicorn manure is GREAT for growing sweet & sour corn.
What they call piss we call...???
Wine? :p
So the lime variety is...?
Never mind, I don't want to know...
So very true...
What has been seen cannot be unseen...
You're supposed to spell that "moran" when calling someone else stupid.

If it is REAL WORK then you're doing it wrong. :p
Slight motto change:
Free as in prostitute.
Changing your car's oil while driving down the highway could be tricky, too.
The root of the problem: people make really crappy users. Robots and animals are a far better choice.

Send it flowers or candy instead and you might get lucky...

Maybe they are planning a world "undernet"?
Someone mod this +6 865 877 562 (the approximate world population).
Not necessary. We'll just send Hillary Clinton in there armed with a spatula, an umbrella, and a 28oz can of SpaghettiOs.

In the US, we've had two of them for President. And they were full of... never mind. :p
