    It's quite a sad thing that they have to put that in a statement.

    Google ads could be coming to thermostats, refrigerators and car dashboards (update)
    http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/21/google-ads-odd-places/
    Google offered the following comment on the matter.
    I love the way they say at present it doesn't have ads, and then say never had plans.
    Not ruling anything out for tomorrow then Google ;)
