You either consent to wifi passwords etc being backed up or they don't get sent to Google afaik. It's during initial setup of Google services. If you chose it, your fault for not reading some extremely well labelled checkboxes and plain text descriptions.

I think the theory behind that shit is, if you've already got infected by Windows, what's a little more malware gonna hurt?

With the amount of potential information mining that could be done with these apps, I'm surprised they aren't all cross-platform.

You'd be surprised how little malware is truly cross-platform.

apt-get remove --purge safari

Should do the trick. I can guarantee no autoplaying video adverts and other nuisances if you don't have the root problem installed.

I'm no lawyer but pretty sure it's ok to upload if you're using the cloud as backup. It's the cloud. What could be wrong with that?

sad if it's true, but G is known for their two fetishes: user experience, tempered/trumped by making money. therefore twitting our search results is probably a sad joke.

Tried to confirm, apt-get install putty grabbed a good binary. Checksums match. This article is blowing smoke.

They are due for being disbarred.

...and disabled. I bet Tonya Harding could use the dough.

Or Daemon (2006). Each book in the trilogy improves on its predecessor.

They started by blocking all US Gov't web properties. LOL.

You'd have a massive revolt if Adblock were to be pulled or disabled. Not gonna happen. Hopefully this move will increase the snr among competitive categories like Youtube downloaders (about 54000 fake pieces of crap and 3 good working addons) etc.

It's laden with philosophical musings and empathy for a guy with two babymamas. Are you a racist player hater?

It's not the cash-cow speed traps and Officer Dickweed hiding behind your neighbor's azaleas with a laser gun that I'm worried about. It's the mindless, shoot-first cops that are determined to become a leading cause of death to unarmed civilians despite supposedly safe weapons.

Maybe cops need a sensible, community-minded mission in a media friendly format? "Serve and Protect", maybe, or "We're tackling real criminals now instead of the harmless pot smokers".

We have plenty of reasons to hate cops, from racially-motivated shootings to blatant theft and rage murder, these incidents happen many thousands of times every year. If they want to change I'm all for it but in the meantime let me know where these trigger happy fuckers are so I can avoid them. I believe believe in personal safety, freedom to possess property and the inviolable rights of every human being. That's why I feel justified in helping highlight gang members with badges on Waze. Think of the children (AKA collateral damage) please folks.

You haven't used it. I know this because the latest FF is actually quite good. I switched from Chrome to Firefox on Lollipop and there's no going back unless Chrome gives me custom search engines (Yandex, Baidu, DDG at a minimum) and better privacy options like rejecting third-party cookies. And performance is roughly the same. Desktop-wise Chromium is slightly better but the extensions are worse, like Youtube downloaders and things that Google hates.

I find the queen and her arbitrary, controlling bitchy ways to be quite offensive. It's probably that smarmy, shit-eating "sit on my face" look that she's always got on.

Can I file suit against Her Ugliness or all those nasty spawn of hers?
