you obviously drank the google "do no evil" koolaid completely

from the same article you linked to:

By default, yes. But it is an optional... option!

Of course Google do evil; they are currently causing me headaches with their Google Account stuff and I cannot use an Android powered handset without one. So I use my gvee.co.uk address and welp; not everything works as well as I'd like sometimes - I have to maintain two accounts for certain things.

For example my gvee.co.uk Google Account cannot sign up for Analytics, so I must use my old gmail one. PITA.

Oh, and according to the same sentence in the article: "though the company says it logs only a random two per cent of the data."

I kind of remember a company called Enron that kept saying they were "in good financial health."

Interesting..?

I'm locking the thread since it is a bit of a spam magnet. Any complaints, send them to Pat.
