that google

[Baz]

is it just me or has google changed its front page again, dulled it down 

[Niall]

Dunno I use the search in firefox for them. I'd never go there if it wasn't for getting lost in London yesterday and looking for google maps

[Lance]

They've changed the top bar for me.

I've a nice black top bar now, gawd knows why!

Google's Facebook rival.

[Technical Ben]

How about they just copy everyone while their at it? 

[Niall]

I would LOVE a rival to make a version of Facebook that is actually well made, properly supported and doesn't hide security settings way down in the background, in a confusing and what I consider a deliberately misleading way.

What I don't want is for Google to be the ones doing it. I can't think of a company that I trust less.

{edit} Oh wait, Apple. They're devil spawn Still, I think I trust them more as they seemingly openly steal other peoples ideas, then counter sue until the other lot run out of money

Yep. Google are like the news reporter telling you your being filmed whenever you go into the studio. You know your privacy is gone with google, so at least you can avoid giving them anything.
Others (Apple or Microsoft) are like the shop owner ogling CCTV the videos in the back of the store.
