Google increasingly gives me the creeps. Yes I am sending this from my Gmail
account, which is a widget in my iGoogle home page. And I am increasingly
wondering if having Gmail & iGoogle accounts is such a good idea. I really
don't want any other integrated cleverness from Google. They have become too
pervasive and inscrutable for me to completely trust now. Although
undoubtedly irrational on my part, my sense of unease is affecting
consideration of other Google initiatives which are probably completely
unconnected, like Android.

If any clever Google intelligences are monitoring, artificially or
otherwise, know that Buzz is the point at which you overstretched and went
too far for my comfort.
