No, it's Google and their monopoly of your privacy.

Please. All that Google paranoia belongs in the same thread as UFOs and bigfoot. Let Google and Facebook's linguistic algorithms scan my every email. So long as there's no human doing it, I could care less.

Google feels no pity, no fear, no pain, and it will not stop, ever ....

Oh, wrong movie.

I would like things better if I were the only anything scanning my emails, but we all know that will never happen.

So has anyone found any privacy-compromising code in the open-source Chromium? Nope?

What about Firefox or Opera(which are mostly Google-funded now)? Nope?

Anyone? Bueller?

Yep - you know it's the "end of days" when you look back on Microsoft as the hey-day of freedom in computers!

See the shiny aluminium laptop - don't worry about not being allowed to own the stuff on it - look shiny.

We have a funny logo some days - just enter your kid's details here for marketing purposes - look funny logo.

Give me a break. You're just making things up. By all means wear your tinfoil hat and keep your pitchfork sharp, but try to keep at least one toe on the ground.
