Im gonna have to agree with Chris Louden here. People are continually "thinking" to much about google. Thinking is not the problem unless they turn their thinking into an uneducated opinion about a company because this company could do bad things. Lets all wait and see if Google does something bad, secretive, dishonest........lets attack them when they are caught. If you don't want google to have your personal info, do not use them, or anyone else for that matter. I do not see why google is more likely to screw us compared to say Microsoft. That is why I use Linux, I do not want to give microsoft the chance. The fact that you use , and favor, chrome says that you are using microsoft. Why would you trust them over google? I just do not get that.......
