You asked why no 4th amendment rants, I answered.

As to someone driving through my neighborhood gathering data on me, you asked the wrong person. I, personally, don't care. I am in the minority, I am sure.

Pay bills by computer?

Correspond through email for work?

Shop online?

Think your data is secure? (It isn't, but that's a side issue)

Google just stepped up their data mining by an incredible amount. They have become the 800 lb gorilla of info security.

Are you saying DON'T pay bills by computer or shop online? I do both of these, but maybe I should stop?

Pat, this might address some of your questions and concerns.

My first & last post on this topic. I don't see what the furor is all about.
It's been going on since 2008. Why the sudden interest now?

So you won't mind if I come over and rifle through your desk, Liz?

By the way, the article is from yesterday, not 2008.

I'm not saying don't do anything online, what I"m saying is be very, very aware of what you're doing, and beware google. They ain't the warm fuzzy socially conscious company they're cracked up to be.

Thank you, Gretchen and LH. I have a better idea about all this now, and I don't do very much of either anyway.
