    LOL. Says the anti-Mac but aggressively pro-google guy.

    Doesn't feel so good being on the end of the flaming torch does it?

    The most successful drug dealers use one marketing ruleook:
    1) cut prices on quality stuff to undercut your competion
    2) the first one is free
    3) Get them addicted to qulity, price and availability
    4) jack prices
    5) they are now your addicts....... they are yours to do with as you please

    Google is money-free, but information-expensive. Google makes it's money by our willingly given information, such as the address books of gmail. We are addicts, prostituting our information, for our next fix of free-use! ;)

    And there's big huge assed dollar amounts made off of your personal info. Twitter, facebook and google didn't become worth hundreds of billions by playing nice.
