Google is turning into the evil empire
Okay so I was googling to find the citation for the famous Linda Evangelista quote "I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000" when my OEM installed XP MCE computer got an update from it's OEM installation of the Google toolbar...notice please how if I just blindly click "Ok" Google can and will easily change my default search engine to it?

Why am I receiving someone else's email ?
You aren't really. If you receive a message that is addressed to a variation of your email address, it might seem like you are getting someone else's mail, but we promise you aren't.
Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within usernames, so you can add and remove them, creating many email address variations.
For example, messages sent to GoogleAmy@gmail.com and Google.Amy@gmail.com are delivered to the same inbox.
For your protection, you can't log in to your account using a variation of your address - you'll need to enter the exact username you used to create your account. If you entered dots as part of your username when you signed up for Gmail, please enter them each time you log in to your account.
If you believe that a message was accidentally sent to you, you may want to contact the sender to inform him or her of an incorrect address.

New Google Reader
As of today, Google Reader has a new look — and even more important, a lot of new features that we think you'll like. So what's new? First, we've added some things you've been asking for, such as unread counts and "mark all as read." Folder-based navigation makes it easier to organize your subscriptions, and the new expanded view lets you quickly scan over several items at once. And we've made sharing much easier - with a single click of the "shared" icon, you can publish an interesting item on your public sharing page for your friends to see.
