Google, Apple and Microsoft are "only" evil companies. Employees and supporters are not evil automatically.
Hitler was evil from the toe to the hair-ends. Everybody supporting him was/is evil as well. |

You are missing a lot, i have my favourite "literature cafe" where you can borrow a book and read, or connect to free wi-fi and got some beer, cofee,tea, drink or food. Great place, you also meet a friend there anytime.

Because they use cookies to analyse your behaviour on the web. As does almost every website in the world (install Ghostery if you want to check).
In the EU, companies now have to tell you when you visit their website their policy with cookies.
But my argument was not that Google was evil. You said Google products suck. They don't.

I'd love to know why BBL is so biased against anything google. I'm sure there's a fun story behind it.
Did google rape your dog? You can tells us, you're among friends.
Anyway, let's move on to something we can all agree on. Boy that Electronic Arts sure is a pit of incompetent malevolent assholes isn't it?

Actually, Google are completely open about how they're ads work. They have specific areas when you search where adverts are (which are always highlighted), and do not allow for payment to promote in the "actual" search part of the page. If you knew anything about why Google was a success, you'd know why they don't do that.
Don't I recall from reading the forum in forum suggestions that someone was getting porn ads on PCM.Daily? 
Because that someone had installed external malware on his computer, not because of Google or PCM.daily. |

No. I didn't say that in the slightest.
Google docs had an advantage over Office because it could be used in a browser, and because it could be edited collaboratively. Office is a much more complete tool, with a lot more features.
But to say Docs sucks as a product just because it doesn't have the feature list that Office is ludicrous, and misses the point over why Docs has an advantage

Hitler, yes, but his supporters, not really. See, Hitler was an incredible genius to his credit (whether for good or bad is a different issue) and managed to used his great orating skills to persuade a broken-apart Germany. Tell me again that if you lived in that time, you wouldn't look up to Hitler as someone who would rescue your country?
If everyone had just listened to Woodrow Wilson...

547984 is very right, most Germans didn't realize what they were doing by supporting Hitler.

Name? At least the people in concentration camps got a letter in front of the numbers identifying them

Spam bot clearly...
In other news my hip injury has now been referred to a specialist. I did something (no idea what) to it over a month ago, and now every time i do exercise (i.e. a 1 mile walk) it starts hurting and then locks up. As a result of this (and various other niggles and injurys) i have ridden a grand total of 17miles this season...
I now what hell is. It is glorious clear blue skies, 20C+ temps, light breeze, rolling roads... and no way to cycle

Our posts per day amount is the same, so don't say anything
Sounds bad TMM. 
Hope the specialist has a solution for it...
