Smartphones - I run a total and complete ban policy regarding smartphones. Will not get one now, nor anytime in the future. I have a WLAN tablet, with a map application. It works via passive GPS and stored offline map data. No Google service allowed that go beyond what I inevitably have to accept when running Android - and that already is much more than what would be needed to operate a tablet.

Google & Co suck.

Many thing google does makes the life easer.
Yes it comes at the price of privacy because there is no other way.
Many people actually like it this way.

The solution against it if you are hardcore is rooting the phone and installing ROM/OS with no google app.
Not very difficult to do.

My solution is much, much easier.



Prepayed. Nice ruby red colour. Unbeatable price. Almost always switched off.

Yes - a better life still is possible. Although they try hard to mess it up.

People are worrying about the NSA. But Google already knows more about them than the NSA. And pushes for mor.

Currently Google lobbies American law makers to prevent Google glasses being banned from car drivers.

As a private business company, Google operates outside any reasonable counter-control by the public, and is not subject to any form of checks and balances.

Same is true for so many other internet giants.

Best advice is not to use computer for storing/typing/processing anything more than what you would voluntarily write on an uncovered postcard from your holiday ressort.
