Maybe Google’s motto all this time should have been “Don’t be creepy” instead of not being evil. "If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself."

They're probably even keeping a "Kent mocked us" score.
Perhaps they should set up a dating service and put that data to good use. (Then we can pass a law that dictates you can only date people Google matched you with and go only to places Google decides and... Amazon fits in there somehow.)

Kent Sharkey wrote: is for the cat
The literal German translation of "... is for the cat" is "... ist für die Katz", and means: "... is totally useless". Was that meaning intended here?

I don't think it was intended... just a lucky coincidence

Last week, Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) successfully executed a court order to disrupt and transfer control of six internet domains created by a group widely associated with the Russian government and known as Strontium, or alternatively Fancy Bear or APT28. The Russians are cunning. The Russians are cunning!

Coca-cola couldn't even sell New Coke with their ad budget and we're supposed to be swayed by a bunch of cheesy ads and columns by Russians? Kellogg is on line 2 wondering what's the secret.

Fishing is boring.
(I do wonder how much of these sites are actually sponsored by the government or mostly exist due to a largely unregulated market [with the Russian government watching all the traffic "just in case".])

Repeat after me: "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic." One more time. "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic."
Okay, right, the USA is really a plutocracy masquerading as a constitutional republic. But it isn't a democracy.
