By now we’re used to seeing silly ads from Microsoft but the latest batch promoting Windows Phone 7 (featuring the HTC Mondrian) are spot on.

Did you know GMail has its own little app store? Ok, so it’s not really a store. And they aren’t called apps. But there are lots of free little add-ons for Firefox and Chrome that inject handy new features into GMail. I’ve tested two recently that are among the most useful I’ve seen.
