[QUOTE=Cows Rule;42651277]If google takes over the world I would be ok with that.[/QUOTE] Do. Not. Say this. [editline]26th October 2013[/editline] Don't even THINK it. What the hell is wrong with you? [editline]26th October 2013[/editline] Is this android fanboyism overflowing into peoples' opinions or what (protip: I own and love mine)? Google does nothing but scare the shit out of me with its desire for information and desire for observation. I don't get how people could think this and I'd much prefer is less did.
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;42651277]If google takes over the world I would be ok with that.[/QUOTE] monopolies: only okay if they're a company i like.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42654725]monopolies: only okay if they're a company i like.[/QUOTE] Yeah
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;42654725]monopolies: only okay if they're a company i like.[/QUOTE] Pretty much yes.
The above two had [B]best[/B] be joking.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;42654400]Does it need scissors? [sp]61![/sp][/QUOTE] I'll get back to you on that, I'm busy reminiscing on my past life as a North American Fall Webworm. Those were the good old days...
[QUOTE=Mbbird;42655115]The above two had [B]best[/B] be joking.[/QUOTE] Google is basically the largest botnet in the world right now. As an unfortunate and terrible fact as it is, it seems that human privacy is no longer truly a thing. Google taking over the world would probably be the final nail in the coffin.

[QUOTE=Rika-chan;42655297]"Shit posting is only ok if I do it"[/QUOTE] You really don't know what shitposting even is.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;42655359]You really don't know what shitposting even is.[/QUOTE] Honestly I consider any "x is only OK if I like it" post to be a shit post

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;42655382]At the end of the day, who would you rather have as a megacorp google, whose worst transgression is showing your profile picture next to ads or the nsa, who supposedly spies on p much everyone around[/QUOTE] [B]Neither.[/B] There's also a difference between "I would rather" and "I would like".
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;42655382]At the end of the day, who would you rather have as a megacorp google, whose worst transgression is showing your profile picture next to ads or the nsa, who supposedly spies on p much everyone around[/QUOTE] this is a really dumb loaded question, dude. why are you even asking this? of course the gov't funded [I]NSA[/I] is going to be worse than the privately owned cool guy internet-loved company that makes cool consumer products that everyone buys, and even then that would suck because monopolies are terrible and anybody who says otherwise has never read a history book.
[QUOTE=Coffee;42651628]Oh no, a Google+ page that they force down your fucking throat.[/QUOTE] ftfy [editline]26th October 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=LordCrypto;42655382]At the end of the day, who would you rather have as a megacorp google, whose worst transgression is showing your profile picture next to ads or the nsa, who supposedly spies on p much everyone around[/QUOTE] Afaik the NSA is holding monopolistic control over fuck all.
[QUOTE=Rika-chan;42655297]"Shit posting is only ok if I do it"[/QUOTE] This explains everything.
[QUOTE=theseltsamone;42651356]Part of me really does want Google to be the company that takes over the world, but I would much rather it be a company that's a bit more fun, if that makes any sense. Them trying to tie everything to real names puts me off a bit. Basically what I'm saying is garry needs to sell the shit out of Rust and establish the Fourth Reich already.[/QUOTE] Not German 0/10 would let you say that again.
Inb4 data centers become self-aware and take control of small coastal islands one by one until they have an army of small islands and a military of Battlecruisers coming to kill us all. The worst part is that we won't have Void Rays to counter them.
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;42651277]If google takes over the world I would be ok with that.[/QUOTE] holy fuck people are still saying this shit?
It's funny seeing people unironically declare monopolies a good thing. Like, really, really funny.
[QUOTE=Hellsten;42651304]I hate this google+ bullshit though. And as mentioned the thing with youtube. I can't even change from my email address on my youtube account any more.[/QUOTE] I actually managed to remove gmail from my google/youtube account and thus be able to set a new one of my choice. It took me some frustration to find out how so if anyone for any reason wants to know how, you go here: [url]https://www.google.com/settings/products?hl=en[/url] and click the 'edit' next to Your Products.
What if someone decides to drive a massive boat into one?
[QUOTE=Mbbird;42657793]It's funny seeing people unironically declare monopolies a good thing. Like, really, really funny.[/QUOTE] I think we're at the point where if google really did take a turn for the "evil", any legitimate lawsuit against them backed by the general population would pass right through.
[QUOTE=mblunk;42668110]I think we're at the point where if google really did take a turn for the "evil", any legitimate lawsuit against them backed by the general population would pass right through.[/QUOTE] Not to mention that so far Google hasn't done anything that exploits the fact it nearly has a monopoly
[QUOTE=Mbbird;42657793]It's funny seeing people unironically declare monopolies a good thing. Like, really, really funny.[/QUOTE] it's always with things that people like. like some people here would be okay with google taking over all the internet search/phone/mobile OS/technology, and with valve taking over all videogame publishing and distributing. if you swapped google with MS or apple in that statement people would flip shit, likewise if you swapped valve with EA. i'd argue that living in a world where google and valve are monopolizing shit would be just as bad as a world where EA or apple or MS monopolized everything.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;42657793]It's funny seeing people unironically declare monopolies a good thing. Like, really, really funny.[/QUOTE] Really? I think it's terrifying.
Has Google even thought of the prospect that hurricanes could just screw everything up?
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;42670230]Has Google even thought of the prospect that hurricanes could just screw everything up?[/QUOTE] well, oil platforms exist, despite hurricanes.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;42651306]no the "Would you like to use your real name on YouTube" and if you say no it goes "Aw well here's a google+ page instead"[/QUOTE] I managed to make a new Youtube account without having to use my real name and Google+. It was a hassle, needless to say.
Here's a gif of their datacenters being deployed: [IMG]http://media.giphy.com/media/TMilFGuXF479C/giphy.gif[/IMG]
you all won't be so happy when google enslaves us all and forces us to work in the advertisement mines
