    Default 3 reasons to be wary of Google

    Interesting bits of info... too comfy with MoveOn and Soros for my taste, I think I'm going to start looking for another search engine & browser.

    It's all part of where we are going, as a society, and it's all but inevitable.
    As for Glen, all he had to do is not agree to any ToCs from google, and get his friends to do the same, and alls fine :3

    Personally I know that they know where I am, but they are providing me a service. Only the other day I was in 3 towns/cities I'd never been in before, and in each I was able to find the cafes, bus stops and train stations I needed without a moments worry. Sure google and apple knew where i was all day to within a metre, but Id rather that, than be lost, as I would of been.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I don't have a problem with them knowing where I am & what I'm using... I understand the technology used, there's no worries there.

    It's the points he made regarding Google personnel being involved (in fact, organizing) in overthrowing governments and having top echelon people in Google working closely with Soros and giving money to entities like MoveOn.

    What business does the search engine & browser I use have in revolutions?

    The same business as anything, tis part of the global world we live in, it doesn't really matter what you believe a company should or should not do, people will act on your behalf in their interests, invest in others who will invest in other etc. It's nothing personal and nothing unique to google.

    I haven't heard of ANY other public company directly involved in the revolutions taking place.

    And my Cell Phone company or Dodge or the company I work for certainly aren't engaging in such activities.

    Government overthrows aside, giving millions to radical Moonbat groups is indeed Google's decision, but there will be backlash over it now that it's out in the open, and I'm all for the repercussions.

    DO I have to say anything.

    Noir you seem happily resigned to the "nearly inevitable" fate of everyones being track recorded numbered etc.. by Big Gov't and big Inc.

    Beck is playing to the right and the left plays to it's audience but
    microsoft and Google both enjoy very cozy relations with the gov't no mater which party is in power. they both empower themselves and the gov't over the peoples rights.

    How does the 4th amendment work when goggle is tracking ALL of your biz.

    anyway don't get me started.

    A few people are crying in the wilderness on this issue so it looks like most are going to lay down to this level of Big brother and the next level and the next. trusting big bro cause he's well run and efficient. like in China where google turned in anti commie protest leaders.

    Anyhow

    I'll mention this to. A former computer programmer who now owns my car repair shop told me that when you have a google page open that it is reading your history and any other open browser windows you have.

    I've seen report on how if you have your microphone on that google is also listening , recording and trying to see if you have the tv or radio on in the background . it you do it trys to determine the station and tv program and them feed you info based on the show and it's target adv.

    Is there a law that says they can't? If you don't like it, stop using their product. It's as extremely simple as that.

    No shit? Hey, thanks for pointing that out. That course of action never occurred to me.
