Speaking of deceptive practices, has anyone noticed that Chrome's "Allow Chrome sign-in" option does not do anything? Regardless of the state of this option, when you sign into Gmail, you are also signing into Chrome.

This option for disabling unintended signing in into the browser was promised after there was a major brouhaha on Hacker News. Google added the button as promised... except it doesn't do anything. Very disturbing.

>User: Hey does anyone notice that when they put their hands on the stove it still burns even though the stove says "OFF"? Guess I'll keep buying this brand of stove!

>Stove company: Well, the people are complaining again, but they keep using our stoves, so no reason for us to change.
