Get Ready -- This is The End

I've been trying to deny for a long, long time, but I think the time has come to make it official -- this is the end. I am truly surprised that we don't all have cameras in our homes and chips in our skulls which encode the electrical pulses generated in our brains and send them off to a giant government-owned server farm which harvests all of our primal brain waves.

Now I like Google, despite the fact that I think they really are going to try to Take over The World in the near future. However, all that is water under the bridge now. Yahoo, M$, and AOHell all caved to Big Brother, but Google held out, (possibly) recognizing their duties as a powerful netizen. Godspeed Google, and here's to hoping that the ACLU and EFF take up your cause Real Soon Now.

What can we do about this? There's lots of nice tech out there to help, but the sad thing is that we are pretty much powerless against the war machine. However, I'll post some good places to check out in the near future.
