At Google, we put a lot of thought into improving your online experience. We’re alarmed by what we believe is a growing disregard for your rights as computer users. We’ve seen increasing reports of spyware and other applications that trick you in order to serve you pop-up ads or hijack your browser from the site you’re trying to visit.

Gone too far? Nah, you can still use out-dated browsers and sleazy software that sneaks malware into your system. They can't take away our right to spread viruses where ever we go! Hell no! :lol:

That is just a taste of what is really going on with Google.

I am not here to argue about these issues. These issues do exist. I just ask for people to not wear horse blinders. Open your eyes and minds.

Overall I would like to think Google is doing pretty good.

In Forbes they were talking about Google Glass having an impact on medicine.

There's no question that Google is doing some cool stuff that is very helpful. I don't have a problem with what they are accomplishing. I just don't like the way that they go about it.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

Well, I have to say this is one of the things I really like. Focusing on new browsers makes it much easier on us.
