What's next? Google tracking location history even when location setting is disabled? That can't be right, can it? I'm starting to think these mammoth tech companies aren't being fully honest with us.

But they sat in congress and couldn't understand the questions about tracking always being on by default... I too am shocked that the world's richest IT company would even consider making money from the most widespread data collection resource ever created...

My wife’s Facebook gave her an advert for a blog this morning, showing plants that are best for insomnia. I’m the one that hasn’t slept well in over a week, not her. I asked if she had mentioned it to anyone by text or was searching the internet looking for solutions, to which she said no.

“Facebook isn’t listening”, though.
