And once you subscribe to the Great God Google with the purchase of one of these, you understand that you have handed over every aspect of your life, every ground movement, every page visited, every item you examine on the 'net - to a faceless organisation of 55,000 people, who sell that info so they can make lots of money - and who transfer every piece of your metadata to hundreds of other faceless 'net data-gathering companies, most of whom you have never even heard of.

I've got a Galaxy Note 3 and I like Google, it's very useful. However, I'm constantly surprised at how much Google does behind my back with my phone and my Google account.
I treat Google like I treat a very large anaconda. I watch what it's doing constantly, and I never ever, let it get a grip on me, that initially feels like a friendly hug.
