crp Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There is actually more to the story. According the Use-of-Terms you signed when joining gmail, you agreed that all your email is available to ggle to use free of charge. so if you write a new joke, ggle is allowed to claim it and use it. i am not exaggerating, read the terms. And while you are at it, read the terms for your YouTube. Recently there was a rumor of finagling out of Adsense payments, keep on eye out for more stories on this during the summer.

ebrke Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There is actually more to the story. According the Use-of-Terms you signed when joining gmail, you agreed that all your email is available to ggle to use free of charge. . . That's why I never had a Gmail acct. There was a time when it was almost an embarrassment not to have it, but I just wasn't willing to sign. Of course, the email accts I've had for donkey's years at A Tee Tee dot net and now pay for since they're not my ISP any more probably leak just as much information. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Don't panic, folks. Cringely is famous for his satire/lampooning pieces. I don't think that article was meant as fact... ... ... ... or maybe ... ... just maybe ... ...that's what Google wants us to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] it is a bit too rough keeping the "Cringely's" straight , but following up on my post about the Terms of Service, this one for sure wasn't joking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crp Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 just a reminder of 2 quotes from g :runaway: gle head honchos: ‘Eventually you’ll have the implant, where if you think about a fact, it will just tell you the answer.’” http://afflictor.com...ve-the-implant/ I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next. http://online.wsj.co...4099527212.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Does this mean that in the future contestants for Jeopardy will have to consent to a brain MRI before qualifying just to make sure they don't have the GoOgLe ChiP installed?
