They did, especially in Germany, where public photography and filming is not a right and you must ask people's permission. Google was also sued for mining data from people's unsecured networks while they were doing this.

Slight bias in the article here (slight understatement also). I live in the EU and the main issue they have with google is not what the article states, it's that google directs people using their services to their products. Prioritising their adverts on google search for example. Uncompetitive...

"Actually, there is a study that states that Mac users are smarter then PC users. Google this. " Nicely worded, I'm guessing you are the exception that proves the rule?

"because the money is divided up by percentage of total streams" can't see a problem with this, 10% of streams, 10% of pot. If everyone was paid a set amount and didn't vary by spotify profitability, Spotify would go under in a second. So what Thom York is suggesting is that Spotify should...

When I don't have adblock, the google ads tend to advertise what I recently looked out. Defeating any purpose of collecting my data and would generate 0 sales. It was just an annoying reminder about what I wasn't interested in. Bravo! Adverts these days, despite the massive amounts of data...

Can I share parts of this 'box' to everyone on the internet? If not, stick your cloud storage, since there is no point of storing things online if the people on your network (the internet) can't access it.
