Always read the Terms Of Service, Privacy Policy, EULA or any other fine print to read before agreeing to terms etc...
That will tell you what want about the product you're going to use

Always remember to press one, then 5, then 7, then 9, when you want to leave a message for a real person to get back to you after their lunch break. The message you're leaving them is about how because they no longer offer free roaming as a "new feature" they took it off your account 6 months ago without telling you and your automatic credit card deductions have had $30-$40 overage charges monthly without a notice or word from anybody.

^^ Why I left Sprint...but that's besides the point...The fine print doesn't tell you when somebody's going to get careless.

Not sure I understand exactly how google knowing where you are and what your doing at all times is not thinking for yourself, its not like someone at google is changing your calender or scheduled events.

There is a built in price of information in most things you buy, they either want your address, income level, age ect. just for records to see who is buying the product. That's why many companies want your zip code when you buy something in one of their stores.

I don't know about anyone else, but my android phone also gives me the option to opt out of sharing gps info with google. Not saying I 100% think that that means they don't ever use any of the info my phone generates, but I doubt its just there to fool me.

Woa... apparently I was wrong all along and I am sorry. Google knows way more than any of us thought. According to this web site, Google knows all of the following (and a hell of a lot more):

• What Willis is talking about
• How to go back once you've gone black
• When to pull out
• The last digit of Pi
• What will happen in 2012
• More than Bing
• The Crabby Patty secret formula
• Never to drop the soap
• There's nothing wrong with a little bump and grind

Damn... they DO know everything...

You people seem to forget that I work in advertising and marketing in a creative and management capacity...and the more ignorant a customer and the more complacent they are the easier it is to find out whether they're actually paying attention to what's going on around them. (sounds to me like most people here are the type of people to get hit by a car because they walk into oncoming traffic while wearing their ipod)


If they're not paying attention then it's easier to sell things to them because 90% of the information we take in is through out sub-concious.

If you guys want to keep ignoring the truth, and as a result of ignoring the truth, THINKING that you're thinking for yourself until you realize 90% of the movies you watch and 90% of the music you listen to are all put out by the top 5 media companies in the world.

5 companies control ALL the worlds media...News Corporation, Disney, Viacomm, General Electric, and AOL Time Warner...those 5 companies own almost every single record label, radio station, television station, and piece terestrial advertising space on planet earth. If you think you've been thinking for yourself for most of your life...if you listen to or watch any media that these 5 companies put out...and lets be honest, none of you have any idea what other companies these conglomorates own because you don't seem to care that you've been brainwashed since age 6 without realizing it.


And the fact that you all thanked somebody 3 times for trying to tell me that I'm a conspiracy theorist...but he did so by posting a picture of a marketing tool (the adult swim charachters) that was produced by a major media company for viral purposes JUST LIKE THIS...so every time something viral happens YOU ALL WILL use that image and everyone goes "COOL, ADULT SWIM I WATCH THAT HE'S FUNNY, NOW WHERES MY $300 WORTH OF ADULT SWIM MERCHANDISE AND MY DVD SET THAT I CAN WATCH CAUSE I JUST SAW A PICTURE OF IT ONLINE, MAYBE I'LL WATCH THE NEW EPISODE TONIGHT SO SOME EXECUTIVE AT NEWS CORPS STOCK WILL GO UP"

...if you people want an education in marketing, then post something real, don't just post random insults because you literally have nothing valid to say.



It's obvious none of you have any idea what you're talking about when it comes to marketing so this will be my last post in this now joke of a thread.
