Not a troll or Bait thread. Give me valid reasons as to why there seems to be so much hatred towards the company. I just dont see anything wrong with what they offer, and it would be awesome to hear someone elses point of view.

IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO
.The past week is the first time I've used a chromebook. I've always avoided them because I heard they were underpowered garbage.
but it seems legit. i actually enjoy it more than i ever remember enjoying windows or linux/ubuntu. It's just stupid simple to use, and theres no headache.
My gripes about it so far (Acer CB3-131-C3VC)::
Some o the keys I'd like to exist are missing. examples would be delete, Caps lock, Prtsc, and some sort of 'home' key like the windows key or apples weird squiggle.
Theres no right click, so you're forced to use multi touch functionality which i've never been a fan of. I have more control over two solid buttons than what a touchpad picks up.
Theres not a lot of settings options, it almost feels like you're using someone elses device as opposed to your own. perhaps im simply in the dark and just missing something, but I see no control panel-type system that openly lets me tune the computer to my liking.
other than that I like everything about it.

>>55261855
.I don't get what you mean or why you're yelling.
Why is it bad for the company to dabble in everything? I love android. I've never had a problem with Chrome. I use Youtube quite a bit and Gmail exclusively. Not out of "fanboyism" but simply because out of what I've tried, I appreciate using gmail, chrome, and android services more than any.
Everything else seems to be lacking. palemoon, firefox, opera, penguin, dolphin, whatever the fuck. I've tried a handful extensively, and always find myself tossing them and going back to chrome.
iOS, WP, and Blackberry all kind of suck when compared to android, and I honestly believe you'd have to be lying to yourself to believe otherwise. I enjoyed my Nokia WindowsPhone for it's interface and snappiness, let alone it's camera. But when it came to doing literally anything else, the compatibility was void. almost nothing worked in kahootz with the phone, and it was just a headache.
With google, Everything works together.. Bookmarks, Emails, Accounts, Documents, Pictures, GPS, Everything you need is always right there, yet out of the way.
>>55262078
.I dont give a fuck what google does for money. I dont pay them for anything, I dont get advertisements from them, and I dont really have anything to hide.
Yes I understand the whole tinfoil hat bullshit, and i don't like the idea of being listened to or watched as much as the next guy. But at this point in society, and where I'm at in my life, I really dont give a fuck what 'Private data' they gather.
whatever they're doing with it literally doesn't affect me whatsoever. I'm not trafficing children throughout europe and i really don't care who knows about my trap fetish. it doesn't affect anything, so why is it a factor in what you use day to day?
>>55262190
>I dont pay them for anything
didn't you mean to say 'my time is completely worthless to me'?
>>55262205
You get paid in the form of the services Google provides. It isn't that they aren't compensating you, it's that they don't compensate you monetarily. If you don't understand such a basic concept I don't know what to tell you. It's not as if you'd be getting paid for that time otherwise. You're just shitposting on 4chan and looking at anime girls desu
>>55262205
.This doesnt even make sense. Thats like saying I belong to BP because theyre usually who i stop at on the way to work. the gas station serves the purpose that I need it to, and then I go about my business.
Think of google as that rewards program that just gives you added bonuses from time to time. It tells me when and where traffic is backed up. Accurately. and I didnt have to go out and buy a GPS or even bother with the news forecast. didnt even need to download an app, literally just checked the route to work.
how does that translate to "my time is worthless to me"?
>>55262261
but i can use other services for free without being datamined or having to do manual labor that is barely above what an ai could do.
>>55262279
There are "alternatives" but they use Google's codebase, function poorly and waste more time than just using Google's integrated services. Many of Google's services don't have any comparable alternative. And who wants to use a mish mash of foss shit instead of a bunch of integrated apps. With Google now it's
>There's heavier traffic than usual on your normal route. Take exit 471b towards MLK to avoid this congestion
Without me having to do anything. Same type of thing with search suggestions, play music offering band suggestions, Gmail&drive integration, chrome cross platform profiles and others. It all goes together and functions better together. No other service does this.
>>55262266
I'm sure the prices are worked into what i pay for devices and the like.. but I don't recall ever paying for a google service, or really ever disliking one. google+ looked a bit stupid, so I simply never used it.
>>55262279
>for free...
again, never went out of my way to buy google shit.
>without being datamined
So? again, still waiting for a legit reason thats hurting me.
>manual labor that AI could do
You do understand that theres no manual labor involved right? what the fuck do you do on your computer that involves anything strenuous.. let alone that google forces your hand to do.
It's more work to get most other programs to work properly.
the ratio of issues ive had with Firefox vs. chrome is ridiculous.
Same goes for the issues ive had with WindowsPhone vs. Android. and honestly Chrome OS is the simplest fucking OS I've ever used. XP, W10, Mac, Linux, Ubuntu.. everything is a process of setting up and troubleshooting and all this extra shit. you end up downloading programs just to get other programs to work and its just a drag.. Linux being the worst of all (sorry /g/uys) but its true..
Aside from the Obvious limitations, It's a dope experience and I've suggested it to 4 people in the week I've been using it.
>Is Google really that bad?
Their main goal is to collect as much information on you as possible while informing you about it as little as possible.
If you care about privacy and proper control of personal data (as well as ethical business practices), then Google is really bad.
You know that reCAPTCHA you click on before posting? It collects a ton of information about you (your browser session) in order to identify you as "human". The new reCAPTCHA system is intentionally encrypted to avoid security researchers from specifically figuring out what information is collected.
>>55262321
.lol I like how you've been playing along like my second voice. It's kind of strange, But at least I know that someone else agrees with me or at least my logic in being satisfied with their shit isn't retardation.
>>55262398
.Thanks for actually offering some opposing concerns that are logically founded haha.
but whats so bad about them collecting that personal information? in all reality it isnt really that personal. Even if they tracked every word I said, and scanned every picture I upload or download... It's not telling them anything that i consider 'personal'
>>55262398
I'd rather that than
>Save this image as 4chan.hta, double click it, ??? PROFIT
Personally. It's all public information anyways. You realize the city records department is obligated to give out phone numbers, current addresses, relatives on request? You just go up there or call. The information Google collects is far more innocuous and is used in a useful way. I don't really care that they know I like guitars and show me guitar ads. Or that they search Google drive for CP. All I have on drive is wedding pictures, pictures of my family and other dumb stuff. I mean how does it really impact me negatively? How will it ever really..
>>55262405
It's a more normal viewpoint frankly. A lot of people use the services and don't care about privacy issues. It's just a small vocal group that does. It's not like Google isn't transparent about what they're doing. You agree to their terms and they outright tell you they're doing it. It isn't like Microsoft with the Kinect or cyanogenmod where the actual purpose was obfuscated.
>>55262453
.Here's another example of why i dont see the negatives:
>Be me 2 years back.
>6yr old laptop bites the dust.
>the past 6 years of my life just vanished.
>wish I wouldve backed up everything.
>Similar occurences happen as time goes on between phones, laptops, etc.
>despite having external HD's and feeling positive I backed everything up, I've lost a good amount of sentimental photos and documents.
>Log into chromebook for the first time, using preexistent gmail account (the one i use for my phone)
>Everything pops up. Bookmarks, Wallpapers,Contacts, chrome settings/Homepages, extensions, etc.
>Realize this can be done on any device running google anything.
>Realize If I wasnt paranoid about google drive I'd never lose anything again (Or at least decrease my chances by a shit ton)
>Realize all the hassle I put into "private secure file transfer" before was a complete waste of time.
I now have all of my porn on anything I use. Always. And no, I dont care who watches me watch it. If you ask me, the entire logic is fucking amazing.
>>55262547
.I suppose. It just seems like everyone on /g/ is obsessed with bot-nets and "datamining" and the like. and they all find a way to justify the extent of pure shit they go through to simply remain anonymous.
I just feel like theyre missing out on actually being able to enjoy technology, just so they can say that they're safe and everyone else is sheeple.
>>55262453
>>55262547
Typically the arguement when a service collects information about you is "I have nothing to hide.". While that may be true, the real issue is the massive amount of data points that are collected about you (typically without your consent), as well the lifespan/usage of that information. Google has a very poor track record in terms of privacy management, and since the unification of their privacy policy in 2012, several institutions (such as the UK information office) have expressed concerns over the vague and unclear explaination of their policies.
>>55262629
look, I understand It may be a violation of your natural born rights.. and I do agree that an invasion of privacy is immoral and shouldn't be done.
But my point is just that in this particular case, there's no Harm being done.
>>55262629
.just to address the picture, Obviously some shit changed. you could think as far deep as you want to, but they literally give you the option to not use your full name. If you were that data-conscious you'd just have your weblife set up into convincing google that your name is "Asstastic Clam" and thereon out, they're not gathering data on you. they're gathering data on Asstastic Clam. They never asked for you to submit your Photo ID or anything. Excercise common-sense caution if you're concerned.. and problem solved!
>>55262024
Hey anon,
Those keys aren't missing per say. You can press Ctrl + Alt +? to see a map of the shortcuts.
For example,
Delete is Alt + backspace.
Feel free to play around with the map to see other shortcuts.
The search key is kind of like the 'home' key that you refer to.
>>55262078
The only way companies can provide services at no monetary cost to users is if they can make money from the service by other ways.
You sound like a child who has no understanding of how the world works. There's no such thing as free shit.
>>55262680
Sorry, which case are you refering to?
>>55262728
The one problem with that method is how certain tracking methods track you outside of the website. Just because your name is Mayor McCheese on Google+, but your real name on another site that uses a Google product (reCAPTCHA), they're able to use these multiple data points to construct a profile on you.
>>55262205
>Flawless browser experience, even ability to block adds, and scripts.
>Great email client.
>Great cloud storage, and doc programs.
>YouTube for entertainment.
>Great search engine.
Anything that comes close to this experience that is actually *free?". People, and companies gotta make money one way or another to give you the luxury of these services.
>>55262279
Nothing is ever free
>>55262728
personally I enjoy logging onto my computer and it telling me Happy birthday by name. Or setting a calender reminder on my phone, and having a notification pop up on my laptop screen as the reminder. I like being able to put a password on my porn folder, and not having to keep it on a usb drive/hidden gallery album/discrete folder tucked away in 6 other folders. I like that everything works together to make my life easier. and the more you partake, the easier your life gets.
>>55262742
Thanks! I knew about stuff like alt + Bacspace for delete and other basic commands. I would just prefer to have a physical delete button.
I have no Idea what map you're talking about, but that search key tip is useful. Just wish it wasnt the caps lock, and i wish the fucking power button wasnt where delete should be lol.
you could probably guess how many times ive turned my shit off in the middle of typing
>>55262820
Ah, okay, I understand now.
Yeah, if you press ctrl + alt + ? a little overlay pops up that shows you different shortcuts. You can press modifiers like ctrl or search and see what other shortcuts there are.
&& haha, i've totally done that a few times. You slowly get used to it I guess.
>>55262024
I've been saying this for the last two years and thank you.
The chromebook is the ultimate cheap "just works" laptop like device there is currently.
the way I see it, there is no way to guarantee that Google is going to be the only curator of the information Google collects on me. I dont really mind that google has all this intel, but I dont trust them to be able to hold onto it securely forever. All it will take is one major data breach and both my gmail addresses will be compromised, which compromises every single account or profile I have on any website ever. I'm essentially opening myself up for aggressive identity theft by relying on google services and allowing them so much information about myself.
I still do it out of convenience but a major malicious data breach could really fuck all my shit up big time
>>55262812
.simply the case of others building profiles on me. that doesnt affect me or my life whatsoever.
If i was cautious enough to be Mayor McCheese on google+, odds are I'm President O'Cream on Blacked.com. you get my point though, Yes its a daunting thought but so?
>>55262860
huh, thats pretty neat. overall do you like using it? the one I'm on isn't technically mine, but has been used exclusively by me for a week. It's like 2 years old, and runs quicker than any of my personal devices lol.. Do you like yours?
>>55262890
Yup. I really like the standardized pricepoint. like you dont have to pay $1200 on something just because companies are competing. If it breaks or gets stolen I can simply Un-sync it, get a new one for practically pocket money, and bam! didn't lose anything.
for a cheap piece of shit I definitely appreciate it more than my laptop. at this point I'm considering getting the Asus Flip for laptop purposes, and desktop capable of the heavy computery shit that I do (graphic design, Blueprinting, Illustration, photography/video editing, General movie/music collecting) and the shit i do on the PC can just be transferred to the Flip.
>>55262190
Wouldn't an equally effective privacy respecting business be even better though? Just because Google is really good at some things doesn't mean they're actually "good" as in God. We should push Google to be better than they are because your average joe couldn't even begin to fathom a way that Google could improve.
>>55263090
>"good" as in God
get the fuck out of here with that. Google is a business, the Alphabet corporation is out there to make money. If you want Google to be good for you, invest in it
There isn't a business in the country that can stay afloat using only altruistic business practices.
>>55263090
didn't God supposedly flood the whole planet because he got upset, killing nearly everything, guilty or innocent?
I think I'm good with Google as it stands today
>>55262910
.Think about it though broski.... Unless you're Bill fuckin Clinton, or have any outstanding backgound, odds are the person capable of that major data breach doesnt give a fuck about you.
not to mention, almost every service or website has a way to change your information on the fly. yeah losing your email sucks, but it happens and we survive. I couldn't tell you the first step to getting into my old yahoo account. I'm sure theres some ammusing shit to see in there aswell, but its a distant memory that still has yet to affect my life in any way.
If that breach was to occur, odds are you'd hear about it in time to respond.. unless you're bill fuckin clinton.
>>55263090
I guess bro. but in the meantime, why use anything else? It's seriously the best there is, imho. and like i said, the more google services you embrace, the more rewarding the experience is. I'm actually thinking of looking into all that they offer... but everytime I go to their website I just get a search bar :\
>>55263148
yeah but he apologized, then called us fucktards and in the same breath admitted to regretting our creation..
This I think is perhaps the most important part of the bible, cause I'm pretty sure thats the exact moment in time that he Nope'd the fuck out.
Meanwhile were all running around praying and killing non believers and shit. dudes been AFK since that day. just my beliefs.
Google is the less shit of all data-gathering shit companies. They have good, useful services, they are involved in open source community, they have a nice repository of open fonts, and they use gathered data to actually improve their shit, instead of selling it to ad providers or worse (like Facebook does)
I use Firefox because it better suits me, but I use gmail, google maps, google drive, google docs and youtube. Usually I try to be anonymous and value my privacy but with an exception of google. Profit to cost ratio is just too big.
>>55263219
.So wait.. is what I'm gathering from this thread that /g/ isn't really anti-google? or is it simply the people in this thread who are congregating to form the small percentage of /g/ that doesnt have aluminum curtains?
>>55261773
They willingly censor themselves in China. I understand the concept of respecting the wishes of other countries, as well as not making decisions of what's best for a separate culture, but oppression through censorship is wrong and unethical.
Google is the Uncle Tom of China's information.

>>55263325
Same Anon, and I also have a problem with Google tailoring your search results based on past searches.
So if I search "skin grafting" in google while I'm in school learning about it, later in life I'm more inclined to get more lower level search results tailored towards basic education on skin grafts, rather than detailed research or complex applciations. This in turn limits my personal diversity for a topic's results, thus limiting me.
Google please don't do that. I don't want to go through twenty pages before I find the article I'm interested in.
>>55261773
>Give me valid reasons as to why there seems to be so much hatred towards the company.
there isn't, it's just memes
>>55263333
Like I give a shit about your gets, fuckboi.
But if you want to make it personal: Google can, and WILL, censor your internet if ever our government asks them to. And I'm not just talking about pedo shit or stuff like that which should be censored.
>I'm not just talking about pedo shit or stuff like that which should be censored.

The problem with the data mining and extensive profiling is their potential for corruption.
Imagine what someone could do if they had access to everything you have ever typed in an electronic device.
The whole "le botnet" maymay is worn out, because they currently only use this data to target users with consumer product advertising.
Imagine if there was an extensive and thorough profile of you that was made public or used to blackmail you.
It's the potential that is the problem, not what they currently do.
monopoly is never good
>>55261773
The data collection doesn't bother me so much as their insufferable "we know everything better than the user" attitude, which material design and several of their recent ventures fall under.
>>55263366
.Dude, you're a conservative aint you? THe same exact shit you're complaining about is the same exact shit thats been engineered to improve the users experience.
So if I'm Really into Diving, and I start to search a bunch of diving gear prices, and my search results over time become more generally diving related, Thats a good thing.
It's tailored to figure out what it is you're interested in. So that it ends up on the top of the 1st page and not page 7..
>>55263575
I dont know whats wrong with your world, but I happen to enjoy my life and the shit that goes on in it. You learn to cope with the bad shit.
>>55264028
This sounds more like an error in mindset. It reminds me of that ex that I had that used to always make up shit to get mad at me for, just so she had a reason to resent somebody.
what kind of world do you live in where you're at risk of blackmail, or blackmail even affecting anything in your life? and what kind of life do you lead that would be so troubling for the public to know about?
If you're a normal fucking person, your perceived profile wont mean shit, not to google, not to mad haxors, and not to those theiving blackmailing bastards that we all encounter eventually.
All I'm saying is where do you guys get this shit from?
>>55264582
worst case scenario, they get into my bank account. I report the activity and close the account.. problem solved. I've known people whove had their identity stolen 6+ times... They dont become Vagabonds and lose their cars, its not the end of the world.
Unless you're worried about being mugged by some random elite haxor who got his hands on your data profile... I'm just not seeing the part in any of this where it actually effects anybody as people.
.But seriously guys, how do you google all of googles stuff? google.com doesnt work.

Cool senpai but I don't want what I've been interested in in the past to change my search results. I want search results based off of what I ssearch.
Kind of surprised no one has brought up google tampering the search results for Hilary Clinton
>>55264800
why? private companies can do whatever they want.
Google is dangerous because they have too much power. Now it might not seem like a big deal by once they have control over a large portion of the infrastructure and your daily computer use, it will be impossible for a competitor to emerge. No politician will dare to oppose them because Google has all the info they want on them and can end their careers instantly with the embarrassing shit they do online.
If we start living with Google glass it will be a world where everybody is spying on everybody else. I don't have anything illegal to hide, just that I'm an oddball, but I would not feel comfortable in a Black Mirror type society.
>>55261773
>>55262620
I agree that in many ways that seeking privacy is ineffective and a bad trade off. But in a big picture sense, it's definitely something really important. If the structures that gather the information become corrupted over time you're SOL since there will be no way to organize a revolution or anything of the sort if cash doesn't exist anymore, everything is integrated into one company's system, and surveillance is performed at a very advanced level.
>>55264755
there are alternatives, especially if you're a pirate
but you don't know them because you're a filthy normalfag
>>55263523
That they are incompetent developers
>>55261773
the main criticism is that google is
1. it's essentially an ad company. The vast majority of their income comes from ad revenue.
2. The collective massive quantities of data on its users. Collectively (cellphone usage, gps information, your voice when you do a voice search or text to voice your email, your searches, etc. etc. etc.
While google doesn't really do much in the way of harm so far. The fact that an ad company exists that has more info on you then the CIA and KGB could collectively gather in their prime is.. well.. potentially disastrous.
>>55261773
Since they are apparently trying to manipulate the US elections.. That's quite bad and evil if you ask me. A corporation like this should stay neutral in that matter, they can manipulate the search results so that there are mainly positive results for one candidate while there are mainly negative results for the other candidate. That IS worriesome.
>>55265028
why though? are they the only search provider for everyone? Are they not a private entity?
Walmart doesnt sell certain brands, and pushes others...do you also find that worriesome?
>>55265076
I don't see those as similar things since wallmart promotes products while google tries to change the public opinion of persons.
They are a private company but with a lot of power which they should not use to do bad things. Their motto (was once) don't be evil but apparently they stopped taking that seriously.
I can understand the argument that it is a private company and they can do whatever they want, but interfering in politics with a specific side is like a collusion in my opinion. Which is illegal in the end.
>>55265154
so foxnews, CNN, MSNC etc can promote candidates, and bash others but Google cant?
Arent those news channels interfering in politics constantly with all their bias? No different from Google.
>>55265154
If you are worried about private interests interfering with politics then Google is just a tiny fish in a large ocean in this regard. It's probably not even in the top 50 lobbies
>>55265182
Precisely. They're no different than google in their promotion of an old cucked woman. Think about why they're pushing to begin with. What do they gain by supporting her?
>Nothing is ever free
Have you ever heard of free software (not freeware)?
>>55262024
>feels like you're using someone else's device
How apt.
>>55265300
Google offers services. Services are never free.
>>55261773
If you are okay with them completely profiling you they're pretty okay for providing everything for free. But they also provide almost zero support for everything they do because of the same reason and hence the cancerous cycle of "whatever you say we're providing this for free and we don't care about your opinion"
They're really bad for being almost the only valid advertiser and setting the main ideas that internet is being developed around. That is why everyone is now trying to provide services free and collect your data worst case being Microsoft, they collect your data and make you pay for it.
But nothing is going to change, because people like you are the larger portion of users, you just don't have any principles or any lines drawn. You don't understand what service is you just want free cool stuff no matter what is going in the background. You'd get mad if you found out that your bank leaked what kind of dildos you liked from your payment history to dildo manufacturers but somehow you think it's fine when google does it because they're providing services with non-existant support.

How easy can this go bad for us. Once everyone is the employee of an organization that anticipates creates and profits from your desires. Capitalism forced into every aspect of life. All humans as vessels to be profited from. Information will be censored and modified to manufacture your consent to living inside a reality created to enslave you. This is the future of it. It starts with the bullshit "I have nothing to hide" ..... But what if one day you do? You have to be sovereign. Give and receive. But if the world submits to having their senses governed, their ideas controlled and their speech censored.... What will become of the reason to live? A simple person with "nothing to hide" will remain a simple person with "complete obedience". The obedience is slowly achieved generationally..... So wake up. They are pulling the biggest Jew trick ever.

But when it starts putting popular science articles before the article I have searched for using the exact title.... Then they are promoting stupidity.

It's a ethics thing. When you control the world's access to information, you have a responsibility to remain impartial in everything.

They're an advertising and information selling company. They make money from selling user data to advertisers so they can offer “personalized” ads.
They also send out truckloads of spam. Ever wonder why gmail is so good at detecting and filtering spam? Because they're the source..
