I never understood this.
Why would anyone want to co-mingle email with an IP, browser, or OS?

MS once got busted all over the world for integrating Windows with IE......

Now, there are Chrome-based tablets which heavily push users to sign into a Google account before anything happens. All personal info (pics/vids/documents) are stored on 'the cloud' unless the default settings can be changed.

They just decided on behalf of the user that 'the cloud' really needs all your legal and medical documents, home porno, facial recognition pics of your friends, items sitting around the house, pets, home, cars, hourly GPS cordinates, etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc.
(Obviously memory for offline storage is at a premium these days :\)

Facebook did the same thing:Trying to sell a "Facebook Tablet" where all activity was routed through Facebook. AOL redux LOL. They didn't sell many and it disappeared. Goggle probably will though.
