There's a lot that I don't like about Google, but I do like that they're fucking insane.

This perspective made me laugh and earned my honest upvote; especially because it sheds a different light on Google Glass (about which I have pretty negative feelings).

Is it really a good idea to use Google even on the lowest layer, meaning the network itself, for the transportation of your data?

In light of the surveillance state that the US has become and the collaboration of government agencies with the tech giants, I say:

Support the small guys!

Google seems to be the only company that has even tried to stand up against surveillance.
