A monopoly that can rival Microsoft?

Interesting reading this...

If you go to

http://www.google-watch.org

Youll see a lot of conspiricy theories about Google, some of them would appear to have some merit.

I find those things scary but interesting, too. Just have a read
at the following

More and more the idea of illuminati makes more and more sense
and I think in the end, I am not paranoid - they really do exist!

I am changing my mind gradually about google.
I used to like them more, I find them more and more disturbing all the time. Especially reading the article about creepy gmail, that these guys can access your mail and know all about you.. It's bad.

my motto still remains: "anything you can not directly manage and control represents a backdoor to the system"

and, for those who's asking themselves: YES, I'm proud to be paranoid!!!

The Big Brother and Neuromancer (just to name a few) needs to be read more and more deeply...

... just think...

you're navigating in the open sea... you have GPS, On-Board Computers, Radio... you love 'em, right?!? Those things helps you find the way home 99% of the time... more the time passes by and more you rely onto a digital world... forgetting how to read a map, the stars and a compass...

BUT, ONE OF THE WORST DAY IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE...

everything got screwed-up... your GPS is no longer reliable... batteries are gone... radio is not working anymore....

what do you think it will happen? (LUCK is a rnd variable you simply can not invoke at will)

... do not point at me by just saying "PESSIMIST"... just think ...

Who gives his life to a bunch of circuits is a fool.

Preogress is good, electronics is good... but... always remember to use YOUR brain, failing to do so will bring the worst things out!

@Moro:
Rofl...nice image.

@google:
I am a bit undecided about that. On the one hand I am scared
about the amount of information Google collects all the time -
on the other hand if you really think about it - which service is
better ?

What does Microsoft knows about us ? Is a GMX mail account
safer ? What does your internet provider knows about you ?

look back 4 posts... my motto...
Obviously I really don't care that much nor I don't mind about that otherwise I must cut any kind of interconnection (Net, cellphone, everything... really difficult to realize in today's lifestyle... NOT really impossible, just a little difficult).

I mean... just being aware of it... it's too simple to say "I didn't know that"!!!

Remember: whenever you put whatever kind of information on the net this information starts living it's own life, it's spread "in the wild" and you cannot control it anymore, as well as someone is able to find and remember it...

Maybe I'm telling obvious things.... none of us really needs to know the obvious... but, who really knows?

I'm feeling exactly the same... a sort of love//hate concurrent feeling... the real point is that everyone got less and even lesser time to spend (seems so, at least...) so everybody choose the simplest/fastest way....

Do you remember about a videocassette system of the early 80s called Video-2000? It had just 1 head (the still frames are nearly comparable to 4 heads used in S-VHS till late 90s)... the ability do record on 4h cassettes (which could became 8h using LP function)... but the best of all... cassettes could be turned the other side (just normal audio-cassettes) to get 8h of full record lenght [to a unbelivable 16h in LP!!!]...
Which system survived? the best? ... or just the cheapest?

Same applies to many other things...
