This is actually part of what I find so wrong about this entire idea.

With all this fine granularity, it seems like ads would be incredibly relevant. Specifically about what you need with something that might actually result in a click-through to purchase a product. Especially if they get real-time updates on my hard-drive status and battery state.

I don't remember the last time I got an ad that was actually relevant. Pretty sure the last ad that was even clicked on was one of those little windmills that swirls crazily, cause it seemed like it might make a cool lawn ornament. Turned out it was tiny. Years of online purchases, and they don't even suggest stuff I want.

It just seems like an excuse.
