*Ø* Blogmanac | Meet your defender of freedom
Who Ya Gonna Call?
I don't want to alarm anyone who still thinks that life and liberty are safe because of Western intelligence agencies, but if you click on this actual logo from The Firm you'll see what "intelligence" means in the USA administration. No, it's not a joke, it's the actual website, if you check the URL. There really are people like that in power.
Now, everyone's talking about G Mail and we know about "1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message". And we know that the G-oogle men's head suits have been seen lunching with the Terrorism Busters' head suits, although now that's hard to find on the G-Men site.
This new email service, owned by the company that owns this blog and half the Internet, brags that it places ads in the email according to the sweet nothings you whisper in your lover's ear. How do we really feel about that?
"Gmail does include relevant text ads on the right side of the page. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers." That's fine, but it's not the advertisers most of us are concerned about. It's the lunch partners.
All this will have the Echelon suits laffing, for sure. Not to mention 'Who Ya Gonna Call'. Remember, one gigabyte times six billion people is an awful lot of permanent data. Thank god these blokes are intelligent and Nice, not Evil, as any Middle Eastern patriot will affirm.
