Re: Is Google quality dropping as it overreaches

What email service (for free!) in the world is better than Gmail? I have yet to find one. I think Google's just now able to take a very aggresive market stance, such as challenging the big guys (AIM, MSNM, Yahoo) with the new Google Talk program. I say, way to go Google. It's about time some internet company stepped up and started giving the people exactly what they wanted, without advertisements that are flashed based annoyances, popups, or seizure inducing flashing. I have no problem with Google. Hopefully they do become an ISP. They'd be better than everyone else if they continue in their current path.

What about privacy?

You're just the type of person Google is looking for. You're thrilled because you don't get ads in your face, while basically ignoring the data mining they do on you behind the scenes. All of that personal information and behaviors are being stored on Google servers somewhere. Just hope it isn't one that gets compromised because Google doesn't have to answer for security breaches in the same way that Banks or Credit Bureaus do.

If you're a Google fan, I hope you're fully aware of the privacy issues.

Re: What about privacy?

Do you think I care if Google knows that I searched for information about protein engineering yesterday? Privacy is not the most important thing in the world. Freedom is, and we have that. Let Google know that Uncle So and So searched for low gas prices the other day. He doesn't care, and I don't either.
