Google is getting more and more shifty. Scary to think what will come next, if not more Evony ads(the game installs spyware, don't fall for it.) then a further breech upon the consumer privacy... and of course more fibs about requiring cookies for this or that, which aren't required but just there to track our activity... and what process we run, where they are located and their associated files on our systems, and now this?
Shifty business Google, very shifty. Be careful folks, the world wide webiverse is an unforgiving place. _________________

Most long time users are very internet savvy, but one of the first things you need to learn on your way to being adept is that the net itself is very much like a large market, with millions of people all over the world congregating together. And just like you would in open public places, you have to watch out for other people. Don't give anyone your name or information unless you're doing business with them and watch out for conmen everywhere. Not to mention watching your pockets for people trying to dip you for cash or information.
Once these people realise that you don't have to give that much information to gain access to services, you are much more likely to keep yourself anonymous, which is exactly how the net savvy and net bastards do it. (Sorry for the crude language, but they are out there and they are looking to take advantage of you, which IMHO are the kind of people that need a hefty right hand from a silver-back on heat.) _________________ Your mind is a weapon. Keep it clean, clear and loaded.
If you have not heard enough bad things about google ... just try their adwords ... (sponsored links)
They seem to have skipped over the customer service part of the business .. Not a good thing for
a company that has access to your business checking account.. I cancelled after three days. _________________
