   Sometimes, I feel like life would be so much easier if I could just get over my anti-Google-ness. If i could just forget my distrust and distaste for them. If I could just just live in blissful ignorance, or, at least, apathy. I try to tell myself "maybe it's not that bad." "Maybe it's just how things are." "Maybe there really isn't anything wrong with how they conduct business." I tell myself these things in my head, but my heart knows better. I read about the data collection and tracking done by Google services. I read about the insecurities and problems with Android. I hear the mumblings of "Google is evil." Is it me that's wrong? Am I over-thinking it? Should I just get over it and give in? I just... can't. For now, I'll stick with my current overlord, Apple, for email, photos, music, etc. Oh, and, of course, DuckDuckGo for searching. Also, ownCloud for cloud storage (thanks to !sdf  and @smj!). I also distrust Dropbox... maybe I _am_ the problem, afterall.
