Public Proxies and Thought Pointers – where will google stop?

The next thing google will probably do now is provide public proxies.
Using a google proxy will be faster than surfing the internet directly - the catch - nice pretty plain-text ad's will get embedded in the web-pages we browse through the proxy.
So you go to hotmail.com and you will get a plain-text ad on top of the hotmail logo saying "try GMAIL - it's free".

The way its going, finally they will have some compelling and free interface to our brains, and every thought will result in the ad-sense engine to fire up and 'Point' our thoughts to relevant ads.
So you just come home from the gym and 'think' of drinking something and google ad-sense will 'suggest' to your brain the idea that Real Fruit juice would be the most apt thing to ingest.

Is this good, or is it too invasive, I do not know.
