After reading the
F*ck You, Google article on
Gizmodo.com, Completly hating the way Google introduced Buzz, and recently changing my email address to email provider GMX.com for the nicer UI. I have finally pressed the button to cancel my Google account not even 15 seconds ago from within my Google Chrome web browser. Don't get me wrong, I like Google's products and a lot of other people do to BUT I didn't use Google for anything else since I closed my g-mail account.
But, the article on Gizmodo is a very,very good read and a comment on the blog said a very true statement. -
Quote:
Has Barak Obama ever visited *Insert pornographic website here*, or made some intemperate remarks about white people in his emails? I have no idea, but Sergei and Larry [the creators of Google] do, and if he did, they own him now. You too of course, same for all the senators and congressman, one false step on line and the Google has got your number.
When a worker working for Facebook told the world that any information on Facebook can be accessed by any employee within the building, people freaked out. But, it's Facebook's server and they OWN those servers. The thought that server owners shouldn't be able to look at any data on THEIR servers is just stupid. The same thing goes for people that think Google knows to much about them. It's Google's servers and they can store what ever they want on it.
NOTE: I now need a new web browser since I used Google Chrome because it was made by Google....i was such a fanboy....
