Following on from [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-googles-free-android-satnav-released-in-the-uk ]this[/url] thread earlier & playing with the sat nav & pretty much think my android phone is the dogs bolx...

however as they are a large corporation in the style of coke & nestle (who we all know have questionable trade practices) do they have similar bad things?

yes, they power their servers by forcing poor South American children to run on tread mills for $1 a day. 😀

if they force TomTom to reduce their price for their iPhone SW, then they get my vote!

Well WEP is fairly easy to crack unlike WPA but I doubt that google are in the business of cracking wireless security!

Depends on your thoughts. Google sell advertising, if Google know where you are then they can target their marketing more specifically, imagine them suggesting a nearby Starbucks, or BP petrol station etc.

Depends if you think that's intrusive and they know too much about you. Really depends what you search for in previous computer use. Might be embarrasing for them to suggest a certain "establishment" whilst you are out with the missus.....
