My opinion (and not just mine) predates the google mail offering by years. The argument "They have never before sold anyone's information. They have never had privacy concerns." is bogus. We have recently had a case here where a company that coordinated spam prevention (and had an awful lot of subscribers) went bankrupt, and the list of subscribers was sold to the highest bidder. I'm not against Google (it's my favourite search engine), I'm just a bit careful with handing out my personal data. Now, let's get back to the music business... -- Johan _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-05-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
