I guess it's easy to trash talk when you earn $3 billion through tax loop-holes

Google Uses Loophole to Dodge Corporate Taxes, According to Bloomberg Report - ABC News

"Over the last three years, Google has saved over $3 billion," said Bloomberg reporter Jesse Drucker, who broke the story.
Google, with its informal motto of "don't be evil," employs a strategy called the "Double Irish" to help it pay a tax rate of just 2.4 percent on overseas profits, according to Bloomberg. The corporate income tax rate in the U.S. is 35 percent.

ya know, Google has this sweetie pie marketing mixed with a swash buckling profit making attitude. They had potential to be trusted and blew it and now want to force all computer users into the Cloud - sacrificing all privacy and security

tsk tsk

The big question I have:
Why the heck would it matter to me what some Search Engine Clown CEO thinks he has to share with the rest of the world.
I tested W7 for myself and I am convinced that it's the best windows ever made.

not just a search engine - they have been spying extensively

Google says Street View cars got email, passwords - Yahoo! News

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google Inc acknowledged that a fleet of cars equipped with wireless equipment inadvertently collected emails and passwords of computer users in various countries, and said it was changing its privacy practices.

Google said it wants delete the data as soon as possible. Google announced the data collection snafu in May, but said at the time the information it collected was typically limited to "fragements" of data because the cars were always moving.

Since then, regulators in several of the more than 30 countries where the cars operated have inspected the data.

"It's clear from those inspections that while most of the data is fragmentary, in some instances entire emails and URLs were captured, as well as passwords," said Google Vice President of Engineering and Research Alan Eustace in a post on Google's blog on Friday.

Could this be a primer for a class action lawsuit?

Google already stores all searches by IP and tries to track you with analytics and hidden tracking cookies. Not to mention that I have an email address with them. If they think I am going to trust them with my family stuff and career data, they can think on. I won't be using Chrome OS ever.

I love this one:

• We don’t allow ads to be displayed on our results pages unless they are relevant where they are shown. And we firmly believe that ads can provide useful information if, and only if, they are relevant to what you wish to find – so it‘s possible that certain searches won’t lead to any ads at all.

Really? so why do all the adverts lead to something which has nothing to do with what im searching for?

I don't know why Google just don't make there own operating system. They got the money to do so. Google let you new operating system due the talking instead of overpaid ding dong trashing Windows 7.

Is that a joke? :sarc: Google Chrome OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reprograming 7 for what I just think he doesn't know how to use win 7 and said he had to reprogram it as a cop-out I want to know what was so serious that he had to restructure windows to run for him sounds kinda tardish to me He is just ripping on them now cause he knows failure is around the corner google chrome is fast ill give him that but IE has been around much longer and more people trust ms in the many years it has been around kinda like a familly name

so when you have competition trashing the os that has been around for many years the future doesn't look to bright for his future os and programs I 'm just saying cause if ms was so crappy we would have all dumped it years ago even linux users don't trash windows they work with it along the linux

I wonder if Mr. Reprogrammer has his employees use Windows to build Chrome (browser) :roflmao:
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was a hypocrite.
