They've lost so many customers to poor server stability that they know a con isnt going to bring any market share back. An expansion pack will......if they can increase their service stability in the mean time.
a little off topic, but another example of this is americans buying trends in cars. They buy the GM, Ford and the cheaper Chrysler products because they are cheap, not because they are a good value, and definetly not because they are good quality.
Personally I think 3meg cable is worth $30 a month.. 50? not so much.

Does it make any difference that many of these Google services are free and "in beta"? (didnt read the filing)
Just wash your freakin hands, people!
Thanks for 3rd party apps like GAIM and Trillian.
i thought the same thing, how does this effect my rights online? Flikr is a private company and can do whatever they want.
