so what is google doing about this ? their policy on people’s privacy being extinct is okay, but the little vermins that are – the adlibs , ferreting sensitive information like this is totally unpalatable. this will most likely blow up on their face shortly. I have a question, does – schmidt use a plain vanilla android phone with ads and all taking out all of his contacts and the kind ? what would he feel about it ?

I’m all for google and android being a good viable platform, and i would detest microsoft being the top dog in yet another arena. but if this privacy thing is not remedied, and microsoft does a better job at restricting access to these lil vermins stealing data from the phones – then I’d most likely vote the microsoft approach.

Everyone knows that the mega internet software company Google, developer of Android among many others, is the largest data mining company in the world collecting private personal data from all its users. Apparently, Google has and is being financed and supported by the NSA and CIA of the USA government. The government is doing this so that the spying and privacy violations will not be subservient to the Freedom of Information Act.

I guess 1984 Big Brother is really more prevalent than we all think with all of the new technologies gathering all of the personal habits, behaviors and interests of our daily lives; just to name a few.

If this is right, these developers could be making a ton of money off of this. As illegal as it is, this is very valuable information as third parties can use it to target specific geographical locations. Very interesting…
