[quote=spdrun]And overly credulous idiots like the poster above deserve attention? Basically, Google gets all of your Internet habits, regardless whether you run a secure browser or install their turdware or not.
PS- bet you wouldn’t call me a monkey to my face, boy. You’re vewwy bwave in your daddy’s basement ;)[/quote]
I am amused at your opinion of me considering we’ve never met. Yes, I’d likely say that verbatim to you in the flesh and we’d share a laugh about it.
Given your post in the browser thread a few weeks back (http://piggington.com/ot_which_browser_do_you_use_most_of_the_time) stating that you run Firefox without add-ons after preaching about how important it is to conceal your personal browsing habits from the internets, your credibility regarding all things IT-related took a pretty big hit.
It is clear that your opinions of our new Google overlords and their business practices will not change no matter how much technical data you are presented with, so what’s the point in even talking about them? The whole idea that Cox, Time Warner, Comcast, Verizon, or any other corporate ISP can or should be trusted more than Google with your personal data is laughable.
Google’s entrance into the ISP pool will certainly make a huge splash that will likely be of great benefit to the consumer. The ISP market has become stagnant and desperately needs a new player so we can catch up to the rest of the 1st world nations with respect to average household internet speed and cost.
