Google bailout justified
Feb. 17th, 2012 05:39 pmI'm continuing my dissociation with Google services, and this article from today makes me feel a little more justified in paranoia:
WSJ: Google caught circumventing iPhone security, tracking users who opted out of third-party cookies - Boing Boing
I've got another couple of hours of POP3 connections to get the rest of my mail off of GMail. I've got calendar replaced already. I'm going to go with an open source DropBox equivalent or just a DMS to store documents on my website.
Clearly, you can't trust anyone. No matter how much money a company is making, it's not enough and they'll violate both trust and the law to make more.
