Many a true word said in jest, so goes the famous quote. Never has this been truer than when said of the Fake Steve Jobs blog. Bizarre and often near to offensive, fake Steve frequently sails very close to the wind and to the truth.
In a recent post, FSJ talks about the Googleguys annoying Larry Ellison by getting permission to land their jet at a NASA air base.
Larry is so incensed apparently, he is about to spill the beans on Google’s involvement with the NSA and CIA.
I, with my conspiracy head on, have been saying this for years. I have always thought that Google was a US government department. What better way of spying on the internet using populous than watching what they search for.
Google is omniscient, most people use it, they are developing intrusive software like their mail and office applications where you store your information on their servers and their desktop search utility which scans the information you don’t give them to look after. It is so blatant, they don’t even hide the fact that they look at your documents, the added insult is that they then advertise at you based on the information they siphon off.
I for one don’t trust them and don’t use my “G” services account (G for Government?), but unfortunately they own the internet, our sites are dependent on them for any kind of hit success and we are directed there by our browsers by default.
As users of the information age, we are pwned by the US government.
Information is power. Power corrupts.
Time to fall off the map.
