There is spam in the sense of receiving spam in your inbox/spam folder, but the spam Gmail suffers from the most I think is spam *originating* from Gmail. The largest (and most hated, for good reason) ISP banned Gmail altogether because its users were receiving ridiculous amounts of spam originating from Gmail accounts.

Lawsuits destroy everything.. Technology, health care and what not.These lawsuits have zero output or production of any kind that helps mankind. All they do is to leech money by arguing against one imperfection that they found and hammering it to death.
