I find this technology too invasive. I'll keep my remaining shred of privacy. I can visit Google on my computer, but STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE!

It's interesting that the main criticism people have of google is that they are data farming EVERYTHING and EVERYONE for some ulterior and nefarious goal. Are there really grounds for this other than "they have the CAPABILITY to do it!"?
