Asa Dotzler Suggest Switching to Bing from Google on FireFox Blog

All people with 2 or more brain cells know that Mozilla Firefox sucks as internet browser. Smart people have always known it but due to anti-Microsoft campaigns, less savvy individuals were brainwashed to believe that FF is the best thing since plastic dildo and despite complete suckiness continued using it. Google joined the bullshit and promoted Firefox as well but that only lasted until some Google individuals decided to create their own failed browser – Chrome. The near perfect relationship between Mozilla and Google started to stand on shaky grounds. And now, high rank personnel at Mozilla, such as the director of community development Asa Dotzler suggest switching the default search engine settings of your Firefox from Google to Bing.

This is nothing new to me. I have been questioning Google and their potential violations of people’s privacy ever since Google started to exist. Google is the biggest depository of on line behavior in the world and as it seems, they only provide their services (primarily search engine services) in exchange for permission to spy on you. In order to use any of Google’s services, you must enable Google to put cookie with unique identifier on your computer. Each time you log in to any of Google’s services, regardless of whether it’s your computer or not, this unique identifier follows you around and tracks everything you do on line. It likely stores all of your behavior on Google’s servers that never get erased. Even if you think you are deleting something, it’s only deleted from your access pane, but Google keeps it. Do you think that if you use Gmail and delete a compromising message that it is erased from the face of the world. LMFAO, think again you moran!

No my friend, if you look around the internet, you will find lots of evidence that Google keeps all of this info because it’s a valuable information about your behavior on line. It exactly identifies you so they know precisely who you are, where you live and what you do.

Imagine this for example:

When you repeatedly search for directions from place A to place B using Google Maps, and one of those directions associated with your searches repeats often, it is assumable that it’s either your place of residence or work. Thus the unique identifier that is contained within Google’s cookie could quite potentially identify where the person that this Google ID belongs to lives or works.

It gets far worse if you also have Google toolbar installed and if you turn on Google History, then there is no hiding about what you did, where you went, whom you fist fucked, or what your favorite condom flavor is. This information is stored right before your face and you consented to it. This way Google knows everything about you, because they have been collecting this information that identifies you for years.

It took people at Firefox quite a while to realize and admit to that. Asa Dotzler brought it up on his blog and offered recommendation to switch from Google to Bing with instructions on how to do it, particularly because of privacy issues. Yet Mozilla is also one of the reasons why so many people became victims of what could be Google’s abuse. Because half brained internet users who were bullshitted into using Firefox had Google set as their default search engine. Well, even though they suck, at least Asa Dotzler did eventually realize the potential threat and admitted the dangers.

The main reason why Asa Dotzler recommends swishing to Bing from Google is Google’s extension of personalised search which basically means that the search engine will store any and all information about what you search for unless you specifically stop it. In other words, this collection is not turned off by default, it is turned on without your consent and remains on unless you turn it off. Not that Google will stop collecting data about you, but this way they do it with your consent because you haven’t told them not to, so they have a legal right to do it.

The video below is from the interview with Eric Schmidt, Google’s SEO who addressed the questions about privacy like this:

That’s right, according to Google’s CEO:

“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”

So let me translate to you what Google’s CEO is saying. He says, that if you search for a divorce lawyer but don’t want your wife to know, you’re doing something wrong. If you are searching what jobs are available in your area but don’t want your current boss to know about it, you’re doing something wrong. He believes that if you do something that is private to you, it’s something bad. Google remains the most ridiculous company ever and their CEO is a good proof of that.

Eric Schmidt continued by saying:

“If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is search engines, including Google, do retain that information for some time….. it is possible that this information could be made available to the authorities.”

Let me translate this again – Google CEO basically confirmed everything I have been saying all this time. Google does collect all form of personally identifiable data about you, stores it all and waits for the moment to use it against you, when need be. Google can and Google will use information they have on you and they have a lot. They collect absolutely everything and paste it together to get a perfect picture of who you are, where you are, what you do and what you will do next. This is how I translate the words of Eric Schmidt that came right out of his mouth.

I’m no longer the only one who knows that. At this point of time, even Asa Dotzler from Firefox knows that and wants everyone to know. Firefox fanboys can get off their high horses and listen for once (wait, they still have no more than two brain cells… Ahh well). Even though on his blog Asa Dotzler has been reluctant to say it as bluntly as I do, the message is clear. Google’s privacy policy sucks and it is time to switch to Bing, the privacy policy of which is more user friendly. In other words, Bing doesn’t base their business model on spying on people and sharing personal information with third parties without your consent. I have switched to Bing a long time ago. How about you?

Google is Watching You

Google is Watching You

Google is watching you in more ways than one. It is no secret that Google is the biggest repository of people’s online behaviors. If you have used Google but once on your computer, a cookie has been nested in it that tracks everything you do on line and every track of it is stored in Google databases. It gets far worse if you use Google toolbar and further worsens if you agreed for Google History to store your own data for yourself to see. But Google is watching you in more ways than by just tracking your activities on line.

As satellite technology improves, Google Maps views of our planes from space get more detailed. Then you have Google Street View with pictures taken by cameras mounted on cars and trikes riding the streets of popular cities. Google claims that it respects people’s privacy and their software automatically blurs people’s faces and license plate numbers. While the idea of being able to see what streets you may wish to visit look like, there is also an idea of one of those Google tricycles may capture your precious ass in an awkward moment and pictures of it will be all over Google. Imagine you get captured walking with toilet paper stuck to your shoe or vomiting after a good night out. Blurring my face my ass. Google is watching you and while there is a lot of convenience to being able to look up stuff, the inconvenience of being stripped of any and all privacy negates the purpose.

Oh, that cookie that Google embeds in your computer never quits and if you increase your computer’s security settings so it rejects cookies, all Google services quit functioning. You will get an error message appealing on your to enable cookies or else Google won’t provide any of their services. They want something in return for their “services”. They want to know everything about you. And given that Google are good buddies with CIA, this whole “Google is Watching You” phenomenon should make everyone feel uneasy. And rightly so.

 

The Lost City of Atlantis Discovered – See it on Google Maps

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

If you get on Google Maps (or Google Earth) you may be able to find these rectangular shapes deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Could this be the greatest discovery made by stupid Google satellites? Could this be the discovery of the lost city of Atlantis? People were searching for Atlantis for centuries, we have had insane technology at our disposal for decades, were we all waiting for stupid Google Earth to eventually get the lost city of Atlantis discovered? Could it be this easy?

The rectangular shapes within Atlantic Ocean can be seen on Google Maps at 31 15′15.53N, 24 15′30.53W coordinates. It’s about 600 miles off western coast of Morocco, not too far from Canary Islands. You can use the embedded view of Atlantic Ocean to zoom in and out and see for yourself. Does this look like the lost city of Atlantis to you? It sure looks like rectangular shapes, something you don’t see at the bottom of an ocean. Geee, Google Maps must have discovered Atlantis, I swear.

According to Twitter (I’m straight hence I don’t use Twitter), term “Atlantis” has been the most sought for and most wrote about on Friday last week. Maybe it’s a key term to some new homosexual activity. Considering 99% of Twitter users are homos, it would make sense.

Google representative apparently popped the party bubble and destroyed all dreams of wannabe Atlantis discoverers by saying that those shapes at the bottom of Atlantic Ocean are “artifact of the data collection process” – come again? “Artifact of the data collection process”? What the fuck is the dude talking about? Does he use Twitter too?

Greek philosopher Plato described the lost city of Atlantis and according to experts (probably Twitter users) the location of rectangles at the bottom of Atlantic Ocean as pictures by Google maps is a possible site of the legendary island. According to Plato, Atlantis was an island larger than Libya and Asia famous for its wealth and advanced civilization.

 

#1 Skank Liskula Cohen Suing Google over Blogger’s Skank Comment

#1 Skank Liskula Cohen Suing Google over Blogger’s Skank Comment

Way to make a name for yourself… Liskula Cohen, a model who appeared on front page of Vogue and modeled for some of world’s top designers, such as Gianni Versace or Giorgio Armani is suing Google because some celebrity blogger who hosts his blog on Google owned Blogger.com called her a #1 Skank. Skank is as skank does. Liskula Cohen is just a fucking desperate attention whore and needs to shut the fuck up!

36 year old Liskula Cohen who’s originally from Toronto lists her relationship status on Friendster as “Single” (check out her profile HERE but mute your speakers unless you want to barf out your breakfast. She’s got some lame music playing there). Obviously, MILF in her mid 30’s who’s still single is going through menopause midlife crisis bitchfest. She just needs a big hard dildo up her ass, that’ll shut her up.

Blogger whom Liskula Cohen is after called her for who she is – an old hag and a #1 skank. He also added that Liskula Cohen is a desperate forty something who may have been hot 10 year ago. I agree with parts of it. Obviously, one part I don’t agree with is a “forty something” comment. Dude, she’s fucking 36. Old hags give good head.

All pissed off and shit, Liskula Cohen is suing Google and wants them to give her the name of the blogger so she can show him she’s not a skank. Good times ahead. Maybe she just wants to track him down so she can milk the shit out of his dick for being the only blogger who still blogs about her. Wait…

Actually, I wouldn’t mind getting sued by Liskula Cohen. It may get me into some real shit, but it could also get me laid. Imagine the press I’d get. Hot bitches would be throwing their vaginas at my face. I’d actually get some real pussy for a change.

 

Google Chrome Browser – Not Another FAIL from Google!

Google Chrome Browser - Not Another FAIL from Google!

I admit it – Google is the most popular search engine and also the search engine that sends most traffic to Beer Steak blog. But at the same time it’s the biggest FAIL of a technology company under the sun. Pretty much everything they come up with sucks major balls. And Gmail leads the race at FAIL. Now Google is about to release new internet browser of FAIL. Get ready for Google Chrome Browser.

On one hand I don’t mind this FAIL. Maybe it’s shut the mouth of those obnoxious FireFox fanboys who can’t see past the tip of their nose but they’re big firefox fanboys just cause that sounds so cool. With the release of Google Chrome Browser they’re gonna be stuck. Who are they going to fanboy for? Fanboys always go with the tide. They don’t use firefox because it’s a good browser (did I just use firefox and good browser in one sentence?), they use firefox cause they think it’s so cool to be a firefox user. But when there’s Google Chrome Browser, we’ll see them changing their colors and we’re gonna have crap loads of Google Chrome Browser fanboys. Once again – not because Google Chrome Browser is a good browser, but because those brainless kids will think it’s hip to be Google Chrome Browser user and let everyone know about it.

Google has been rumored to have their own browser in the works but somehow it never became more than a rumor, but it’s been announced and confirmed on Google blog so Chrome Browser’s gonna become reality. Google marketing geniuses chose to introduce chrome browser with a comic book – FAIL. You can see the online version of the comic book HERE.

Google Chrome Browser will be officially release tomorrow.
