Is Google Sexy or Horny?

There was a time, in its early years, when Google was considered the
“sexiest” search engine. Now? Horniest, perhaps. It wants everyone
to keep their phones on all the time.
(Women, in particular, should be very careful.)
Even if you choose Airplane
mode, WiFi will be active. WiFi settings does not have an Off option.
You can choose between Sleep or Deep Sleep. I remove the battery
and use phones only when I need to call somone. Chrome browser incessantly
phones home, hogs the CPU, and respawns itself even if you kill the process.
I use Opera 12.x (released before Opera Software was co-opted and made to
supply a Chrome spyware clone). Google Search will eliminate your
site from their results if you don’t sign up with their Adwords
program after a time with Adsense. If you sign up, you should keep on
paying increasing extortion amounts to keep your sites in the results.
Every time you login, they ask for your phone number and ask you to
upload your photo and create a Plus page so that governments can easily collate
everything and damn you if you don’t get on board with all the scams that
the globalized kleptocratic system has in store.

Not so creepy, please!

This is a bug that affects a really old version of the Google Toolbar for
IE (v2.0.102-deleon/en (GGLD)). When uninstalled, the toolbar writes the
message “Please this window” on the browser window instead of “Please
close this window.”
