I saw that - the arrogance level is getting higher, isn't it.

[Glenn]

I wonder if his home is on there?

[Rik]

Only as a view of the gates, I suspect

[pctech]

I seem to remember reading it has been blocked out.

Google really needs slapping down.

[Rik]

The ICO will probably issue them with a warning as to their future behaviour.

[pctech]

The ICO cant really do much as the data is stored outside the UK.

[Rik]

It shows the perception of our law makers, doesn't it, Mitch. 

[pctech]

It does.

Obama took on a lot of Google employees as advisors which is very concerning.

Personally I think governments should consult average tech savvy users as when all is said and done it is the likes of you and me that has made the 'net what it is today.

[Rik]

What, take notice of the electorate, Mitch? Not for another 4.5 years. 

[pctech]

Sadly the 'net is such big business these days we are unlikely to be able to reclaim it for the average Joe and Jane which is what I'd like to see happen.

Absolutely, could you all disconnect from the net please so that it runs a lot quicker for me 

[Rik]

 

I've always done my bit, John, by having a long line.

[Glenn]

I was disconnected at 00.13 this morning, so it wasn't my fault.

[Rik]

How long for, Glenn?

[Glenn]

11pm - 7.30 am

[Rik]

Sounds like BT. Is your exchange about to go 21CN?
