Hm, while installing DivX 7, the installer offered me to install chrome.
This is one more marketing channel, don't you think?

Google pays RealPlayer and DivX to bundle Chrome. They started in about
March I think.

Is the same channel like Google or Yahoo toolbars use? I mean such a
things which are "installed implicitly".

Or how Miro asks to install the ask.com toolbar. Or how Flash
apparently tries to install anti-virus software (or so I'm told?)
Basically if you see that it means that Google, Ask and Miro are being
paid per download and/or per install.

Wow, if you're going to be a bot spammer, at least WRITE A DECENT SPAM MESSAGE. Gaw.

I much prefer the spam I've been getting entitled "Turd" to the former events list. Quite a creative spin! Thanks for the laugh today, guys :) Deleting these accounts.
