Ugh, I guess, I'm going to basically agree with you.

Let's not forget Gmail. Sacrifice a little freedom for good service, but that is a pretty Orwellian service in its own right. I love being inundated with advertisements for ski trips if i type the word "snow" in an e-mail. :/

I kind of see Google's point about some info access being better than none, and when it comes down to it, they have every right o run their business the way they like. They aren't a public trust, they owe nothing to any of us.

But as the article says, please, drop the David act.
