Google is like "The Blob" ~ unstoppable and everywhere.

Why aren't there more laws to protect us from Google's invasion of privacy?

I was surprised that all ten of his comments were so positive. So many of us users are now seeing the negative side of google. Google almost makes microsoft look kind and gentle.

One thing google has taught me is to Watch Out. Even a company whose services I use when given half a chance will invade your privacy, use your information for its own commercial purposes, and try to take over your computer the way cancer takes over your body.
