Fgmail
I finally determined it was time for me to get a gmail account, not so much because I give a shit about gmail, but because “Sorry, you’re going to need a Gmail account.”. Why I needed the page creator I may reveal at a later date…
So, I look for where I can sign up, should be easy enough…right? There’s the option for signing up with my mobile phone, and um…oh, that’s the only option. No way a sane person would, but I wanted to know more about it, and why they thought it would be a good idea.

I see, all I have to do is give them my phone number, and they will just send me an activation code, easy! And look, they were nice enough to check the box to associate my account with my number automatically! Wow, google thinks of everything for me.

If you read through that shit they say they will not save your number if you ask them not to, what they mean is they will not save it with your account, but they save your number anyway in another part of the database so it can be compared against the number of accounts using it…OH, so it is still fucking linked to your account.
Hey, can I borrow your phone for a minute?

(So i just found this blog of you RSnake, now i can read ha.ckers.org and this shit, great
)
Uhm google gets lots of information about their user. They save everything and they scan your emails going out and in your google-mail account (uhm this is just for the users-security i thing
). So google with its millions of users have like the most information of people on the earth.
If you are interestet in it, in my blog (i saw you visited it bevore, but its in german so you couldn’t read it
) i postet a Video from some Students of the Uni Ulm (German technically uni). This is calles “The Google Masterplan” or like in the movie “Does Google really worrie about”.
(Your also welcome to write it as a comment in my blog on english)
The Video is only 3 minutes long but i think its very interesting. Would be nice if you RSnake could say your opinion to this “Google Masterplan”. You know a lot about security, and this is not far away of security
