Net TV to consign Net Neutrality debate to dustbin of history. Why?

How about no internet tv?

I'd quite gladly pay for an ISP that provides an internet service that doesn't carry iptv. I'm sick of having a connection that drags virtually to a halt at peak times. If ending net neutrality meant I could get an internet connection that denied Youtube traffic, I'd be more in favour of it.

Watchdog backs Google antitrust complaint with (more) data

Move along, no surpises here.

An error they will of course get away with.

Pension?

I'd love to be able to manage my pension on the internet. Sadly Gordon has done away with that as well as any gambling I could have spent it on.

Antitrust incoming? Google hit by EU complaint, FCC filing

I'm with the EU

"The difference between “do no Evil..” Google and Microsoft is, MS are a damn sight less hypocritical about their monopoly postion. And abuse thereof.

If the simple fact that “Google is rapidly increasing how much it spends on lobbying in the United States..” doesnt tell you anything, I dont know what else will – ok Google fanboys, you can now go back to your Google searches for everything, Your GMail with targeted ads based on the content of your mails and put your head back under the pillow. For the rest of us, I am sure we can agree that some scrutiny of a company which has basically won control of the internet, while gaining a very, very large amount of personal users data and their surfing habits, is entirely overdue.

Or, maybe, as the Google CEO (Eric Schmidt) himself says, “”If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place..” – unless of course, that knowledge is personal details of his, obtained by CNET Journalists only via Google searches. Google blacklisted CNET for about a year over this, then again, they really do have to the power to be both evil and hypocritical, whenever it suits. The public have somewhat less choice in blacklisting which Information Google collects from them.

However, Google only use the info they have collected on YOU to sell ads, dont they? No problem there, then."

About time Google where dropped a peg or two.

Paris because I wish I was there.

Google Toolbar caught tracking users when 'disabled'

About That Time

It's about time Google were brought to task for all their invasions of privacy. Quite why they can get away with what they do is beyond me.
