Google showing Ads DIRECTLY in Google Chrome

This is totally moronic and a complete non-issue. Why is this on the front page?

A large portion of the community is REALLY sensitive towards this sort of thing. Also, more people can upvote than downvote.

How is it moronic?

I don't turn on my computer and get pop-ups from MS telling me to buy Office.

I don't want my life to be one long sales opportunity for someone else, I need some respite from the constant bombardment of marketing drivel.

When I first started using Chrome was this there? No.

This is a classic bait and switch from Google.

Because the title is sensationalist. Why is displaying a small non-invasive ad on the start page some great evil? How is it a "classic bait and switch from Google"? What other bait and switches have they pulled in the past? Do you think they owe you a 100% free browser on your terms?

Switch to Safari, Firefox, IE, or Opera?
