Oh joy, I'll sign right up immediately!

the fallout for this, once Google starts mass-suspending profiles is going to be massive now that the Service is public.

easier than having a seperate account for every single site you visit, for one.

Easier but less contained if breached.

Gmail users got a hefty dose of reality today when it was revealed that Google handed over one user's private data to the U.S. government, who requested it without a search warrant.

The contacts list and IP address data of Jacob Applebaum, a WikiLeaks volunteer and developer for Tor was given to the U.S. government after they requested it using a secret court order enabled by a controversial 1986 law called the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, according to the Wall Street Journal. The law allows the government to demand information from ISPs not only without a warrant, but without ever notifying the user.

This makes me want to figure out how to create a server at home and host my own Email and crap.

Which you'd have to use with an ISP that would do the same thing.

If I were going to do anything I was remotely concerned about the guv discovering, I sure as hell wouldn't do it on gmail.

I just got a Kyocera Echo android phone.

JMW IV · « **Reply #795:** October 24, 2011, 01:26:01 AM »

yeah, I've tried out numerous other webmail providers, and while Zoho is ok...

none of them really beat GMail. especially since I have an android phone. so I'm back there.

I won't be using Google Search though. I've found DuckDuckGo, and it is awesomeness.

and freak Google+ with a sharp stick.

as long as they don't try to force me to use Google+ in order to use GMail, I'm cool. If that happens...I'm getting a blackberry, and then saying freak Google.

Nathan · « **Reply #796:** October 24, 2011, 01:45:18 AM »

You will be assimilated into the google collective. Your personal data will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

As a long sufferer of BlackBerry all I have to say to this is - good luck. You'll be begging for mercy soon enough.
