I email myself random things just to see what kind of recommendations and advertisements Google gives me. The scariest recommendations are the ones based on what photos I've taken. I took a photo of a box of some weird chinese tea thing and I immediately got adverts for buying stuff from alibaba.

    Ever try to build a phone with no Google? They want your address so. Bad! like a 2 dollar internet hooker. I'm with ya. I like China phones at this point maybe giving "me" away to them is somehow better than the huge vacuuming of America from the billions of us here at home. Just kidding seriously. I mean it. Some one said if we are the money then the truth is they should be paying us. It can never happen unless we do away the middle men isp the gate keepers. Keep the advertisers just change the payee make them pay us.
