Free or Not too Free Services?Everyone should know in life nothing is for free! Free Google Email, free Google Gdrive - so what is the real cost? Simple! Data mining. In thanks Google will sift through your data (you signed their agreement and gave them permission afterall!) and target more precise advertising to you. Email a tent maker and you'll have tent adverts appearing on your search as Google knows you are looking. It's not all bad but isn't it just 1 step a little too close to the big brother we all saw in 1984? Is it time to re-think cloud computing?
