Re:Internal NeXT video by Steve Jobs (1991) on Monday June 03, 2024 @04:05PM (#40566919)
Pretty wild 3 years in to actually selling NeXT Cubes and Mr. Jobs flat out says "We've had historically a very hard time figuring who our customer was".

I think that's a very fair and accurate assessment, but surprising they let it go so far out of control. They really started out going for the academic market for years, but there really wasn't much demand there.

The OnHub Terms of Service:

"You agree that Google may collect and use technical and related information, including but not limited to information about your computer and/or mobile device, operating system, peripherals, applications, connected devices, network traffic, and data use to facilitate the provision of the Software and Services, including support and other related services. The OnHub Privacy FAQ describes the categories of data collected and how you can use privacy settings to change what data is collected by the Services. "

I'm no lawyer, but from my semi educated reading, that tells me Google reserves the right (which to me means they absolutely will) to collect your network traffic and actual data, send it to the Google databases and use it for whatever purpose they so choose. Does anyone read it in any way more legally limiting than that?
