Is CNET acting as Google?s new Public Relations Firm?

nice FAQ posting ? what? is cnet now acting as Google's communications department? Helping answer consumer question for them ? you know I have a question about Intuit Quickbooks, can you all re-print the marketing material and help information about that product as well ? thanks! What is CNET doing? -- posting basically a company faq for product that's already been out there for years from other companies ? using ?research on mouse movements to help develop algorithms? ? give me a break ?

and don?t respond by saying that you were ?even-handed? & direct about the privacy flaws ? what are you doing in the first place devoting so much space to the ?Hard, cold, whatever facts of a hom-hum product? ? I know why ?.. it?s because it?s from Google?

are reports so in love with Google, that they just can't wait to devote pages and pages to any facet or product ? to point of becoming an extension of the Google?s corporate communications department?..... or could it be that CNET benefits from those sponsored listings from Google at the bottom of each article page??...

"do no evil" ? give me a break -- a better motto would be "recruit reports & the press who only have a modest understanding of the business, have them fall in love with a myth, and then use them to convince people at large that you are doing no evil"

Sounds like they won't stop

Until every concievable piece of data is stored on thier server, regardless if the owner of said data wants it stored there or not.

This should not be an opt-out program. That implies that Google thinks they have the right to cache what they please. It should be opt-in. That is, Google should not touch a web site without express permission.
