Is it me or is Google trying to serve two masters?
Google using people’s data……. No way!
G**gle = POS
I think they just remembered that Steve Jobs is probably gonna get out the old bullseye from Michael Dell, dust it off and put it on them, and I think they are right to be concerned. Steve does many things really well, but forgive and forget is not one of them!
G**gle = the NSA’s best friend
Chrome with Bing selected as the default search engine. Works like a charm. A FU to Vicky from moi.
Please, Lord, tell me this isn’t true.

@macsawg75
and who do you think buys this data? Apple maybe? Or is it a coincidence that since Streetview shows my house, my iPod touch identifies my location based a on available private WiFi networks?
