There is a new one coming. Check it out :-http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/preview/
Is collecting information about other's evil ? Is it evil even if the other person knows that the information is being collected?
Is it evil to kill someone? Is it evil to kill someone if you tell him in advance that you are going to kill him?
Is it evil that somebody spies on your dear ones?
Thinking positively, we can say that it is exciting. Its like taking part in a action packed - high technology hollywood movie or like a video game. We are the actors and we are being shot at. So we need to escape. And some body out there is playing this video game.
Google was all for DO NO EVIL. Is it going out of their hands. Maybe it is. That is what happens when you grow big. Maybe Google is sending us a message through these policies, telling us not to use their services.
But who is this 'Google' anyway? A bunch of people who are working just like the rest of us to survive. How can they be google! They are not google, Google is the people who make the decisions out there. i wonder what happens if somebody decides to quit Google, will they be shot at! Thank God, i am not there.
Think twice before buying a google phone. Or get it rooted and remove all google services from it. There are alternatives available in the market, if not let us know, we can help build it for you.
Use an ordinary Nokia phone that doesnt have color and doesnt have internet connection. Better still - dont use a mobile phone.

We collect information in two ways:
Information you give us. For example, many of our services require you to sign up for a Google Account. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card. If you want to take full advantage of the sharing features we offer, we might also ask you to create a publicly visible Google Profile, which may include your name and photo.
Information we get from your use of our services. We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses our advertising services or you view and interact with our ads and content. This information includes:
Device information We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). Google may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Google Account.
