Why is Google - it is evil

We all know about the corporation that does so many wonderful, and most importantly, free products. But is it all good? Is it possible that from us have something to hide?

This article - the opinion of Steve Toback, a consultant from the Silicon Valley. Us it seemed interesting and quite justified.

I will spend every penny of the $ 40 billion of Apple, to prove it. I will try to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. If necessary, I am ready to start a nuclear war to do it.
Steve Jobs

A little too much, is not it? There is some sarcasm and exaggeration, but what prompted Jobs to say is in the direction of the Corporation's Good?

It's no secret that Android is magically transformed from a Blackberry device in style (with buttons and small screen) to clone iPhone with a virtual keyboard and a multitouch display just after Eric Schmidt (Google co-founder) joined the Board of Directors Apple. And, of course, it becomes the Google inherit all Apple products, and after the release of iPad began to create their own tablets.

Is this true?

At the moment, I imagine dozens of angry commentators who sold the soul for the sake of cheap or free tech company, whose motto is:

You can make money without doing evil.

It depends on what we mean by evil, right?

Even if you do not look at what Google ethical leadership planted a knife in the back of his closest partner, has several arguments that will prove to you that Google - the most horrible company to Microsoft in time the past.

It has long been obvious that Google knows more about you than you might think. And if you care about your security, you do not think about the government and the secret services. Google - that's someone you have to worry. Today, Google uses your searches, the contents of Email-messages and your location to send you targeted advertising, ie an advertising which meets your needs in this moment. No need to be a PhD to understand how valuable this information is.

Google knows a lot about your habits and lifestyle. And the more the search giant knows about you, the more effective advertising, which is its main income. You may ask, what do you do? How to earn in another way and, at the same time, make high-quality and free services? But there is Yandex, which also earns advertising, but who does not know about where you are, who you are and what you do.

However, your habits on the network - this is only the beginning. Earlier this month, Google bought Nest Labs - a company that produces thermostats, which have already captured 1% of the US market. And what's interesting: a smart thermostat Nest learns and sends a lot of information about you on the Nest (in the near future, Google) server, including information about whether or not you are home.

I think Google wants to become the next Big Brother.

But for good reason: Google knows where you are, what you do, what kind of information searching and equips its products are lots and lots of sensors, cameras and other technologies that will know about you yet more.

Still not enough? With the new Glass, Google can know where you are at the moment, what you do and who you are. And it's only a matter of time, when all cars will be equipped with Android and you will ride in the car, whose main purpose is to know about you more and more.

Do not know about you, but I have the prospect of using the company's products, who knows everything about me, stand your hair on end. what about you? Do you think it's time to run away from Google? Analogs or not?
