However that got fixed so quickly, honestly I didn't know about it until I started reading those articles that were bashing Google and giving alternatives to switch to. /pull-leg Ah.... it didn't play. :P I think the connection was the Buzz incident.

And rather than telling you that, I wasn't using Firefox nor that it was late as shit when I wrote it or that we're all fucking human and make mistakes. I'd rather point out the obvious that "Summery" is actually a word with in the English directory. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/summery Look around you. All of these free services that offer E-Mail are using your info in one way shape or form. It's up to you, which was my point of the story, to decide what is actually best or not. You even prove what I was trying to convey by saying that Google = Bad and Microsoft = Worse. It doesn't make sense to leave A if B is worse. Google's privacy issue? I'm going to guess here since you aren't specific that you mean the whole Buzz issue. Well it's fixed. Got fixed quickly too compared to some of the nasty bugs that get found in all sorts of popular software. Lets take Adobe Reader for example. The whole javascript bug, remember that? Adobe didn't release anything official for months iirc. While individuals did, there are a lot of people who aren't tech savvy and would not have even known to think about looking for those fixes. Shit, they probably didn't even know there was a bug. Maybe instead of being an ass|hat of the idiocracy society, you could reply back with some concrete examples with some constructive criticism or have you not learned that yet in high school?

Google’s privacy issue? I’m going to guess here since you aren’t specific that you mean the whole Buzz issue. Well it’s fixed.

Google has been with us for going on 12 years now; I never heard many people having big problems with it. Microsoft launches Bing, and all of a sudden the web is crawling with Googlenoia. There's no connection between those two events, naturally. And if you pull my other leg, it plays Pachabel's Canon in D. Yeah, I know, huh?

Also, blowing off Google's privacy violation using an example by Microsoft is great, just great. Because one company doing something bad is invalidated by a competitor doing something worse. "Hushmail?" Fuck that. "https://ssl.scroogle.org"? Fuck that too. Well, you misspelled summary (which is weird, because doesn’t Firefox have spellcheck?)
