NO U.

Hmm, I wonder why.


Because it's a quick and easy way of making a bucket load of cash by doing pretty much no work and no investment on new hardware.

If you can't reduce your costs, you have to find new avenues for profit. From a purely business point of view its actually quite a good way of further milking the most out of your equipment. It also is about sending a message to US carriers who have been whining to get Google to pay twice for its bandwidth (about 8-10 months ago backbone providers were bitching very publicly at the amount of traffic that went to Google). Given the amount of dark fibre Google has bought up, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they went into the ISP business. Either way, a lot of people in the tech industry have been put on notice by this move.

Even setting aside the very real privacy issues though, no one company should be allowed to dominate the internet like Microsoft has done with the desktop OS.

As I said initially: Mono-cultures are an inherently bad thing.

Perhaps talking to you on your level with your pictorial illustration gallery might make more sense.

It's intentionally not embedded for the considerations for users to give the choice of whether to view the image or not.

Also as a recognition of individual browsing practices such as that perhaps they're maybe using a resolution lesser than for example the image dimensions "799px × 609px" that you keep plastering each time adding unnecessary decoding to a thread with your misconstrued postings.

That's why my comment states:

"http://www.flickr.com/photos/43950773@N08/4041630188/ [768 x 1024 JPEG]" to inform the reader.
Squareroot of all fluffiness.
