Day Fifty Seven

Read a story about how Google is going to share your personal data across its services. A lot of people moaning about privacy but if it is going to make my experience better than why is it wrong? I personally think it is a good thing and I like having one login for all my services and apps.

A quick look on my Google Dashboard shows that I regularly use the following Google products:
  • Analytics
  • Android - on my Galaxy S
  • Android - on my Iconia A500
  • Android Market
  • Blogger (obviously)
  • Calendar
  • Chrome Sync
  • Contacts
  • Docs
  • Gmail
  • Google +
  • Picasa
  • Reader
  • Webmaster Tools
  • Youtube
  • Google Wallet
Thats a lot of stuff to be controlled by one company and I only listed the things I use at least once a fortnight. The reason I use them is that they are accessible, easy to use, mostly free and are available on my phone, tablet, PC and Woman's iPhone. The reason I never embraced Apple prodcts like this is because they only worked properly on my iPhone and I ditched that and swore never to get another one ever again.

Had lunch for work today. Went to Belluci's and the food has gotten better...finally. It was getting so bland and crap but it looks like they have addressed that and started to provide good food again. I am also a fan of Peroni and they have it on tap which is a bonus.

Looking forward to a day off tomorrow, need to prepare for Winter-een-mas. I will have to get the back yard sorted adn wash down the outdoor setting so we can sit out there.
