Gone, Google, Gone

Today's winner of the Impossibly Stupid Hat of Fuckheadery goes to Google, which has become intolerable in their relentless Push+ To+ Social+ nonsense. It's annoying how you can't do anything online without someone trying to bleed you dry of all your (and your friends!) personal information. There is a reason I still allow people to comment here without registration . . .

Nice to find decent content for once, I was getting sick of the constant drivel I find on a daily basis, you deserve respect for posting readable and informative material.

Q: what people with no idea, imagination and life do on internet?

A: They "like" :-)

It puzzles me, too.

I never did understand the idea that you had to go out of your way, that it was exceptional, to "like" something. Shouldn't that be the default proposition? Much more useful would be a "hate" button (or a -1 in Google parlance), but good luck getting most people involved in a social network where, you know, the focus is on making improvements rather than just cheering on the status quo . . .
