    On the same day Apple does this … http://www.apple.com/privacy/  … Google does this … http://adwords.blogspot.nl/2015/09/Google-brings-you-closer-to-your-customers.html … This is why I choose iOS.

        @rgriff @lo_fye what do either of those thing have to do with eachother? Two entirely separate sectors of business. Stop being stupid.

        @jesseobrien_ @rgriff one company saying we don't want your data or to track you, the other saying upload email lists so we can track better

        @lo_fye @rgriff apple is a hardware company, they shouldn't want your data? Google literally runs the internet of advertising.

        @jesseobrien_ @lo_fye Google also sells hardware. And makes the OS that powers a huge number of phones. All to sell you more ads.

        @jesseobrien_ @lo_fye I'm not talking about ads on phones, I'm talking about biz philosophy. Google exists to sell you, period.

        @rgriff @jesseobrien_ @lo_fye Then why did you say they exist to sell you ads in the context of the phone OS?

        @kirindave @jesseobrien_ @lo_fye I never said phones. I said they exist to sell ads, period. And that's definitely their main income source.

        @rgriff @JDMRoy 1) didn't that Apple link go up a long time before today? 2) stop using every free internet service ever if you dont like it

        @trwnh @JDMRoy 1) apple greatly expanded it today. 2) I don't use google unless forced. 3) can't pay for most sites 4) I pay for many things

        @rgriff @JDMRoy Well, enjoy your private email server, your personal cloud storage, and I guess it must be nice never clicking on YouTube...

        @trwnh @JDMRoy I pay Rackspace for email, and Dropbox for my cloud. If the rumored ad-free paid YouTube is real, I may pay for that too.

        @rgriff This is a short-sighted comparison. https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/  Google does ads one way, Apple another. U are being tracked on both

      2. Rob Griffiths ‏@rgriff 1 Oct 2015

        @geophilips The diff is Apple doesn't read my email, doesn't watch my browsing, doesn't read my Messages, etc. That's what bugs me.

        @rgriff We can disagree on whether software should go to this extent but from a computer science and NLP perspective, it is impressive

        @geophilips I agree—it's amazing what they can data mine. They wouldn't be where they are if they weren't the best at it.

        @rgriff Idiot. No one cares your privacy. Your private data is what makes their money. Double idiot. Seriously, where is your brain?

        @Bapteash Clearly you missed my point, because you're saying exactly what I'm saying: Google profits off your data, Apple does not.

        @rgriff @Bapteash Evidently you've never heard of iAds which completely invalidates your argument and comparison. You're Apples to orangeing

      6. Rob Griffiths ‏@rgriff 30 Sep 2015

        @neuroxin @bapteash iAds works much differently than does Google's data collection—Apple doesn't read my mail nor share my location, for ex.
