Google Is Testing a Program That Tracks Your Purchases In the Real World
cold fjord writes "Business Insider reports, Google is beta-testing a program that tracks users' purchasing habits by registering brick-and-mortar store visits via smartphones, according to a report from Digiday. Google can access user data via Android apps or their Apple iOS apps, like Google search, Gmail, Chrome, or Google Maps. If a customer is using these apps while he shops or has them still running in the background, Google's new program pinpoints the origin of the user data and determines if the customer is in a place of business."
I wouldn't give it up for an ipod, but I could see myself giving it up for a material good. Frankly the US elections just piss me off more than anything, because no matter what you do the same shit keeps getting elected. Politics is just a really cheesy soap opera.
Voting therefore is worth nothing, so I'd trade nothing for something.
You know what's funny is I've actually gone out of my way to deliberately not register to vote, and somehow I've managed to stay registered anyways (for early voting no less, as I keep getting early voting ballots that I just throw away.)
You know what's not funny?
It's shallow, apathetic, short-sighted, greedy, ignorant, intellectually-lazy, self-centered assholes like you and those like you over the last ~100 years, who have no belief in anything larger than themselves, their narcissistic navel-gazing Utopian self-delusions, and their next fucking precioussss, that have allowed the evil bastards to take control of everything.
Count my dick with your fucking tonsils you bovine-brained, shallow, greedy, materialistic, worthless, self-centered, narcissistic and intentionally-oblivious herd-instinct piece of amphibian shit. You don't function at any higher level than a fucking animal. You're not even a human-fucking-being! Hell, even a fucking monkey can understand when it's lost it's freedom, and has enough balls to at least fling fucking poo at it's captors!
It would only be cosmic justice, when the SHTF and they roll out the troops on civilians, if you're among the first POS's to catch a .50BMG round square in the face.
Hopefully, for the good of the human gene pool, before you've bred.
