Ass covering mode in action

guihombre 18th Mar 2010

If Buzz was so cool, then they would not have had to opt people in by default? I turned it off as soon as it was enabled on my account, and on my private email, that has now been moved off Gmail.

As for 9 million posts, they turned it on for *everyone*. There are several hundred million Gmail users, so a tiny tiny fraction of those that were opted in, tried it once only.

So this sounds like someone in gmail trying to cover their ass in a pending lawsuit, rather than the world suddenly changing and privacy no longer mattering.

Is Sergey's house on Streetview BTW? What about Eric Schmidt, or does he still go beserk when you try to locate his house?

So they should apologise and backtrack rather than try to pretend black is white and white is black.
