Google privacy policy changes to reveal all about you

(From: CampoPulse) It's all over the internet with positive and negative comments. It's been there for a while so we have to apologize for not bringing you this earlier (we -that is, Prospero- can't be everywhere at all times!). Still one of the best articles we found on the subject of Google's new privacy policy changes (there are thousands) comes from ZDNet (UK Edition) Google: No opt-out of mix-and-match data, which is dated on January 25. Since then, there have been many more. Given that the change date is March 1st (that's the day after tomorrow!) the Daily Mail online chooses (as usual) to put the wind up everyone with 'Google will know more about you than your partner': Uproar as search giant reveals privacy policy that will allow them to track you on all their products. Typical. In any case it's worth looking at the comments on that one. Another article on ZDNet (US Edition), though, is titled Google's new privacy rules: get over it already. We're no experts at all and rely on big friendly people to help us out with even the most basic tech stuff, but we have taken precautions and did what we described below - but please don't blame us if they don't work!>>>

Jimena is now on Google Street View

It is thanks to TioJimeno that we discovered that Jimena is now featured on Google Street View - that's the reason a GoogleVan was in the village last year. We have found that it is almost as difficult to manoeuvre these streets in the virtual GoogleWorld as it is in the RealWorld that we live every day. But who are we to judge? See it for yourself.

Did you see Google's tribute to John Lennon?

John Lennon would have been 70 today if that shithead (no need to excuse the French it's what Mark David Chapman is) hadn't shot him dead on December 8, 1980. Anyway, Google has paid tribute to John: if you click on the drawing, you'll hear a little of one of his best post-Beatle songs - and, because Google now owns the world, you'll be transported directly to the what else but Google page for John Lennon. We like the little movie (Google also owns YouTube now) that accompanies the music, but they went a little OTT, don't you think?
