Members Musicscotty Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't use Google+ or even log into my Google account anymore - unless I want to use Google docs/drive. Even then I'll soon be swapping to something like Dropbox instead. I stopped using Chrome as it sucked pretty hard. I now use Opera. I still use Google as a search engine but I always do a full cleanup at the end of the day and couldn't care less if Google save the mundane searches I make.

Members dicky sofa Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 [spam] If you are going to use Dropbox please use this link: http://db.tt/oN7xAgxE I get extra space when folks sign up. The link is legit and once you are signed up you can pimp out also. Free space is a good thing. [/spam] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imgooley Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 The more information that becomes readily available through the internet, the less secure your own personal identifying information becomes. So either become a hermit, or adapt. Also: if it's about size of company, proliferation of brand/product, and overall ethos, I'm more wary of Apple and Microsoft.

Members marshallnoise Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 is starting to annoy me. Does anyone else feel they are getting too big and big brother-ish? Yes, and they are not concerned at all about giving private information to the Feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I love how when you delete/empty your Gmail trash folder it goes "Why delete messages when you have so much storage available??!" I yet at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefyn Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I ended up embracing it. Google are into almost EVERYTHING, and as a busy busy man I NEED everything. Like the opposite of fightclub. I have/use Google TV (revue), Android phone, gmail, picasa, gmaps, google docs etc. The only thing I don't use them for is online backup, webhosting and band stuff like soundcloud.

Members ruppert240 Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I feel you Billy. Rf emitting chips in our passports and ID's, face recognition and profiling, personality matrices, everything scares the crap out of me. this.

Members thefyn Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 One thing that made me chuckle is facebook just bought a company from Israel that specializes in photo/facial recognition. That coupled with the govs backdoor FB will have to leave open for the FBI etc...Fingers crossed none of us have some untagged terrorist in the background of a random photo, haha.

Members KCTigerChief Posted June 19, 2012 Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 FWIW, Google is one of the biggest opponents for the government censoring the web...I don't like most of their policies as far as tracking and all that, but at least they will put up a fight against the REAL big brother who wants to have full control over the internet...
