1289992 2012-07-22 07:29:00 I really like google. Not such a fan of facebook, but then I use facebook and don't have a google plus account. If it's collecting advertising data on me then let them do so, as long as the service they provide is worthwhile, and they tell me they're doing it to some degree. More power to them, if they choose to advertise at me about things I might be slightly more likely to click (but still won't) as opposed to random crap that has no bearing on me at all.

Companies that have on disc DLC, or overly restrictive DRM, or really, really bad pricing structures, or fail and then come up with shitty excuses (IE blizzard and D3's server issues, IE apple and the iphone 4's reception issues, IE flash and its crappy performance, etc etc) then I'll automatically hate them because reasons. Oh and capcom releasing street fighter 4 4 times with a different title each time and the 'new content' amounting to nothing more than bug fixes and a couple extra characters. Plus the whole on disc DLC thing.

1289993 2012-07-22 23:19:00 Google is a tad more open, yes they use info but purely for ads... what I don't like is the way facebook interacts on a deep deep personal level. Their use of info is mysterious. I hate their snooping. Their android app does some dodgy things, not to mention wanting to add your location to everything. The Error Guy (14052)
1289994 2012-07-23 00:29:00 Google has a use, fbook is just a source of rectal distress. Or, vice-versa if that is your view. R2x1 (4628)

I think if you or I tried that we'd risk jail-time.
