Re: news from Google

Microsoft just wants your cash, but Google wants your personal information so they can sell it over and over again. The entire Google business model is at odds with notions of personal privacy, so it's not even a question of the occasional excess on their part. Schmidt did what Michael Kinsey calls a gaffe: when a politician accidentally tells the truth.

Um, yeah. Them there micro$loth folks is WAAAAYYYY more privacy oriented than them google rascals.


It's better than the "maybe you shouldn't be doing things you don't want people to know about" statement. That right there gives me some insight on where Google wants to go in the future with privacy.
