Not a shock to see this in the People Republic of Illinois
The somebody invents and corporations steal it act of 2011
I am not a product I am a free man. Ok google you are making money of me , then I want my cut. I think 80% of every dollar you make sounds fair. Oh and don't try and tell me your "free" products are my payment because those are making you money not costing.
Google is evil.
This is an idea I came up with back in the way past the first time I found out a company sold my phone number. I was outraged. What right did these people have to sell my phone number.
So I came up with the idea that all information about me, whether public or not, should be considered my private property. My email address, phone number, address, what I search for, what I shop for, should all be considered my personal intellectual property. If you wanna make money off it you have to come negotiate a contract with me.
Now I have removed myself from facebook because as I've said for years, facebook is evil. Now I am considering how to decouple myself from google because I gotta admit google is evil.
What we ultimately need is to take this stuff out of the hands of the corporations. Our online identity, search, and extremely important communication systems such as twitter and facebook should not be controlled by corporation with ulterior motives. It's frightening to realize how important this stuff was to the situations in Egypt or Tunisia and you realize a corp could just shut that stuff off.
I have a daydream every once in awhile wherein the UN comes along to google, facebook, twitter, etc and says "Sorry boys this stuff is WAY to important for the future of society. It's not yours anymore it's everybody's.

Alien Crustaceans. It's a zerg drop.
I know facebook is that thing that people who don't know about computers use
No No No.. you are behind the times.. now we blame everything on Apple..... and sometimes google.
I prefer the imagery of Apple as Stalin trying to control all the means of production.
Reading the article doesn't add much credence to what they are claiming. Seems like an advertisement for some fringe group. The article is lacking in scientific explanation. How do they know there's water on the planet etc...

I am a little frightened by the willingness of most of you to accept this without any corroboration. Searching the web I find no real reporting on this just blogs already predisposed to an anti-lawenforcement bias. And these blogs are just linking to the original story. Not saying it didn't happen, things like this do sadly happen, but shouldn't we have a higher standard.. I mean this isn't digg.
A fascinating read sir.. sadly I am confused as to the relation this has to windows 7.
BTw I am going to put your entry on my blog.
