As if giving my personal data to the NSA and censoring my porn wasn't enough...now Google makes it impossible for me to go to the regular homepage:

WTF Google? I'm serioiously going to Bing soon, if you keep this up.

Perhaps the site is picking up on all the gay porn threads you're checking out and assumes you're from Sweden.

Just sayin'

"Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient’s assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their communications are processed by the recipient’s ECS provider in the course of delivery. Indeed, “a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties.” Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735, 743-44 (1979)."

Yeah, those are totally the same situations. Fuck Google.

If they do you'll get a used product if you get anything at all.

The scroll bar on the right is not scrolled down. Is there a language thing on the bottom right when you scroll down?

You want privacy, get your own mail server.

Seriously.

Google is really fucking pissing me off between asking me every other day if I want my youtube account to be my real name (for the 100th time, NO, assholes), or forcing me to download extensions so that chrome tabs open to my home page instead of the 'recent items' page, to making me put a command line parameter in the chrome shortcut to keep my bookmarks from being double spaced and a mile long. TWICE, since they disabled for the first parameter that fixed it.

New Details Show Broader NSA Surveillance Reach
Programs Cover 75% of Nation's Traffic

WASHINGTON—The National Security Agency—which possesses only limited legal authority to spy on U.S. citizens—has built a surveillance network that covers more Americans' Internet communications than officials have publicly disclosed, current and former officials say.

The system has the capacity to reach roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic in the hunt for foreign intelligence, including a wide array of communications by foreigners and Americans. In some cases, it retains the written content of emails sent between citizens within the U.S. and also filters domestic phone calls made with Internet technology, these people say.
