I'm going to say Google because it's my homepage and I use Gmail. So it's all there already.

Google the Netherlands was sniffing for personal stuff via unsecured wifi networks whilst driving along houses for streetview. They got fined, but it's still a bit weird.
And then there's googleOS. An OS that's completely online? Very convenient for those who want to advertise or use your private data for... whatever.
Everything is google nowadays. They have our agenda, our video's, our houses

That's crazy. I don't have a problem with streetview, because I don't think it's any different than driving or walking around a neighbourhood and looking at people's houses or businesses. But the snooping for info from unsecured networks is not apt, in my opinion. I don't know if they were doing that here, but all the wifi networks that I use are secure.

Same here, but it sure gives me some doubts about Google.
And they even collected (not on purpose, they said, but they didn't delete it either) medical data, e-mails and bits of personal data...

The article says 'there's 5 hard disks stuffed with data from the Netherlands only'.
Gives me the idea it doesn't just happen here.

Haven't read it myself yet, but it may be interesting.

Dogpile, Mooter, Kartoo?

I prefer Google because of its simplicity, and because of Gmail, of course, but there are others that can be more useful in certain circumstances.

Wait. 1452 postings and I've never seen you.
Have you changed your name? Who are you? :D.
