Oh wow that is clever. I tabbed away to read some things, and when I went back, I was like "wtf, huh, I don't remember going to gmail...", it didn't even occur to me that it wasn't gmail until I saw the URL.

Oh, and one point of note: they got the buttons wrong, that is one thing that tipped me off...the buttons look like those from safari.

Yeah, it was totally mac-esque buttons and I was in Chrome, so I was like no ways.
