Google has quietly started offering Google Cloud CDN service, a new content-delivery network (CDN) that should appeal to independent developers who want their applications to load quickly.
For its "alpha" release, Google is now accepting applications from people who want to try the new service, which is limited in geographical availability. More locations will be added when the service becomes generally available.
"Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) uses Google's globally distributed edge caches to cache HTTP(S) Load Balanced content close to your users," the product description states. "Caching content at the edges of Google's network provides faster delivery of content to your users while reducing the load on your servers."

It is very hard to resist and I am not even tempted by their products. I simply can't not use them. Refusing is harder than refusing facebook, because so many things I do online are touched/infected/redirected to and through google in some way.
There should be some sort of anti-trust related law about a company being too big to fail, as well as too big for their britches.
Spinning off into bunch of subsidiaries does not resolve the problem of not being able to avoid all of those letters if I want to.
I can't even step outside without the chance of them taking a picture of me.
Those guys that vandalized facebook in germany have it right -- they wore hoods and face masks. They did no real damage. They only sent a message. I look forward to seeing what happens as a result, and what sort of crackdown there is.
That is the sort of thing Anonymous should be doing more of (or any of) -- sending messages like that.
All these large tech companies seem to have reached a size where they can comfortably ignore their products and the complaints their products have, just like the farms that abuse animals because they're going to be consumed anyway. I feel like cattle, being penned or roped in, branded, identified, and available to manipulated however works the most profitably for my handlers.
