[citation][nom]kj3639[/nom]I'm being Scroogled?! Well, I'm just going to hop on over to Bing and... nevermind.[/citation]
i use bing for images because google cant be trusted there anymore.
[citation][nom]Cheesevillage[/nom]Just think. Microsoft had all those hotmail/MSN users so long ago and did nothing good with them.They're just jealous!Honestly, a computer doesn't understand what your emails say. It can't not draw conclusions about your personal life. If just shows an ad when prompted.This is like bad politics.[/citation]
if it wasnt for google, i would still have 20mb of space for email, and have to delete them, and god forbid if i want to use something like outlook i would have to pay for that.
[citation][nom]internetlad[/nom]I think age is going to play a big role in how people view this. Honestly i'm 24 and it's become the norm that not only is snooping like this acceptable, it's actually encouraged for people to give away information via microupdates on twitter, facebook, et al.it's like those old IBM ads said, something to the effect of "there's so much information floating around untapped, if we could analyze it we can learn much" they're just learning what to sell us, is all.[/citation]
its a machine that is trying to figure out what ad i may want to see... its not snooping...
[citation][nom]Soda-88[/nom]That's funny because my opinion is polar opposite to yours.Just taking a look at Gmail interface makes me sick in comparison to Outlook's (and no, I'm not interested in customizing Gmail's interface to my liking, before you suggest it).[/citation]
normal gmail, yes, html gmail, i will stick to that.
[citation][nom]ericburnby[/nom]Surprised at how many people think this is OK.Yet last year when it was discovered that Apple was tracking your location (not you personally, but the device) people on Tom's were livid that Apple would stoop so low and invade your privacy.Hypocrites much?[/citation]
two different things entirely. gmail is something free that i accept ads for, ads that get seen only by a computer.
apple was tracking phones, and gathering way to much infromation doing it too... on something you pay for... quite allot.
