I have begun to use Bing since discovering that Google tracks and stores everything you do. As far as I am concerned, that makes Google malware itself.



The same article stated that they (Google) do the same with their Android phones, tracking and storing your message traffic and locations. I note a very recent court decision that cell phone locations are essentially public information as the user has no expectation of privacy while oot and aboot. Outrageous, IMO, but these are wild and crazy times.

I have no illusions about Big Brother. Telecommunications companies have been in bed with national intelligence since World War I. It started as an old-boy thing but has continued as a matter of policy, at least during time of war. And make no mistake, we are at war now. My solution in general is to lie back and enjoy, but not to give up more than I have to.
