I thought Paul was the inventor of Gmail and AdSense, not just the co-inventor, right?

I picked the word co-inventor because I think a product like Gmail is a combination of many things, like backend software + frontend interaction design, and I believe Paul didn't also do the design and layout (nor, I guess, did he do the full software behind it).

Philipp, it would be very interesting to find out what parts of Gmail Paul worked on. Could you?

Bart, have a look: blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-0 ... In contrast, here's what Kevin Fox worked on with Gmail: blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-0 ... Also: crazyengineers.com/mr-paul-buc ... paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009 ... paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2009 ...
