Comments on: Schmidt’s Privacy Obsession Leaves Google Torn http://www.slashgear.com/schmidts-privacy-obsession-leaves-google-torn-28216117/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Wed, 09 May 2012 02:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Guest http://www.slashgear.com/schmidts-privacy-obsession-leaves-google-torn-28216117/#comment-189065 Guest Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:46:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=216117#comment-189065  And they’ve advised people ahead of time about this change, explained how people can delete this information, given them the tools to do so, and indicated that people can indicate to Google that they don’t want their information tracked….and that Google will honour those wishes.

Seems like an ok bargain, compared to Facebook.

Thus the big You can still have privacy push.

He was with Sun in the 80s, has sat on the Board of Novell and Apple and was probably as influential in the success of Google as Sergej and Larry are…. 

You dont become the CEO or a billionaire by luck!

With Google you can opt out of potential data harvesting, and you also have options for removing the data they have on you. That doesn’t seem to bad compared to Facebook where there is no opting out and once you give them the info they’ll keep it for years and years to come.

His meteoric rise is equivalent to a poor man winning a huge lottery. Luck. In other words, disregard his position and don’t pay any attention to him.
