Re: Well...

I agree, especially after reading the article.

When you peel off the altruistic reasons for this acquisition you are left with the inescapable truth. Those that want this want it because the company will "benefit from the anticipated increase in personalized advertising."

My guess is that they will embed this crap into all their supported software and there will be no getting away from unwanted advertising or unwanted snooping.
