    The Google web page crawler has already scanned, indexed, cross-referenced and made notes about your undesired remarks. Within moments, Google agents will be notified via GMail of the situation and will be given your exact whereabouts, via Google Maps; driving directions will be assigned to them and a 3D map of your office building and house will be made available to them on Google Earth Mobile Ed. After coordination with local authorities, using GTalk, of course, you will be picked up for slandering the global giant; the entire arrest event will be captured and posted on Google Videos with links to the story via Google News. :rolleyes: [addendum] It is at this point, I would like to mention that here in Atlanta, GA we have a local law enforcement division called the GBI. Atlanta is also the location of Google's main office. Coincidence? I think not.

      Hey Josh, I'd appreciate it if you referred to Bob as "it". I hate the idea of spending several hours a day on a website whose mascot is a frontally nude male. :rolleyes:

          Oops. Thanks for the correction (shame on me for not looking it up). I'll go fix my posting; need to be certain I keep my Google conspiracy information as accurate as possible ... or something. :->

            Google is failing the Microsoft litmus test[^] Interesting. I'd like to state that I have maintained, through thick and thin, through all the GMail invites, GTalk invites, Gblah stuff, and that annoyingly easy and convenient facade of an interface, that Google is Evil. So there. (but hey, it's not like they are any more evil than anyone else. Just, to me anyway, scarier Evil than the blanc mange, kinda tired Evil we have nowadays)

                      Mine too. Explain to me why anyone - anywhere - ever - in the history of the world thought that was a good idea. Ewww. Yet seemingly it's a favorite to bring to potlucks. Oh and don't forget to mix in plenty of whipped cream. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: X|

                        The fact that Gmail is storing all my emails, forever, even after I close the account isn't very comforting in my mind. Luckily for me, I don't do much on my gmail email in privacy terms.

                          before closing the account can't you just do delete all and permanently empty trash to obliterate them eternally?

                            Doesn't that just set the deleted flag on all the items, so you can't read them any more? :suss:
