Losing all privacy is very nice as well. =)
Does rooting it allow you to do stuff that you'd normally need an account for, without the account? Just curious, there.
some, not all (still no market, most everything else can be worked around pretty easily tho)
And i feel alot safer using google than i do any other company. Sure google collects information about me, but
a) they tell me exactly what they collect
b) a lot of it is anonymous data
c) almost 100% of the data is never seen by human eyes, its all automated
d) google swears in many legally binding contracts with many different governments to never sell your data.
e) are stong opponents of wiretapping, internet censorship, regulations, ect.
now, lets look at microsoft. they:
a) reserve the right to collect any data they want about you
b) do not necessarily have to tell you why or what for
c) will keep a backup copy of anything you put online via their services that they will continue to use after you get rid of it
d) will sell your data to "any third parties as deemed fit by microsoft"
e) will not inform you of what of your data was sold, or to who
f) fully supports and complies with wiretapping, government data analysis, and taking control out of the user's hands.
so yes, i use as many google services as possible. in this day in age, the problem is not if your data will be collected - that's guaranteed, if you have any computer access at all. the issue is who collects it. and i trust google more than any other big company right now (MS, apple, ect)
