Google knows best

I've become increasingly annoyed that whenever I access www.google.com on a mobile device, I am automatically sent to their mobile interface (www.google.com/m).

Primarily this means that any results I view are "adapted for mobile phone" according to Google's rules (which include splitting it into separate pages that require further roundtrips - and GPRS bills - just to move between them, usually as I lose reception going into a tunnel).

However, I also noticed last night that Google decided I don't want to see sponsored links that are relevant to my search when I'm mobile. Oh no, apparently I would rather see adverts inviting me to download "hot babe" pictures and mobile ringtones.

At least I now have a good excuse when Mrs Cook asks...
