So this never really bugged me. It is a damn good free service. I also love how it picks up on plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc and puts them in the calendar. Makes life simpler.

If ad companies fix something please fix the I searched for something and bought it but I get adds for it for the next 4 weeks. That bugs me.

Frustratingly, by reading my emails Google should know that I've bought something and so don't need ads about it.

But hey, they don't seem to have used that data.

At that point, it's on the advertiser. It's a weird dynamic where they want to enable the advertiser to factor that in and not advertise to you, but they want to maximize rev and imperfect advertisers increases rev.
