Good post. How many times does this make? Privacy issues immediately with the introduction of Google Chrome browser until the peasants complained. Surely Google must know better and like to see what they can get away with.
Google are an evil faceless corporate behemoth who are single-handedly doing more to destroy privacy than any entity on earth - including the Chinese government. If you use gmail, or web mail in general, for anything sensitive then you are a dumb mofo and this little bitch slap should be a wake up call to change your silly habits. Google search is also unsafe unless you use at least 9000 proxies. Basically you should not use any google product unless there is no adequate substitute, and even then you should take paranoid security precautions and avoid any unnecessary use of sensitive/private info & communications. It is the place to say hi to uncle fred or look up local home improvement stores, not for exchanging romantic emails with the office secretary, surfing hardcore porn sites, or sending/storing commercially sensitive data. Basically, you should trust google (and facebook and other BS tech companies) about as far as you can throw a well-greased hippopotamus. But P. T. Barnum was right and no doubt some idiotic fanboys will be lecturing us about how great google chrome is.
True but people already know Microsoft and Bill Gates are evil. For some reason they think google and facebook are different.
This girl from gizmodo is pretty beaten up about what's happened - http://gizmodo.com/5470696/fck-you-google PS. Most, if not all $1billion+ companies are evil but of course they all tell us how great they are and how we their clients are of utmost importance. Read their crappy mission statements and they all look like a sick joke.
