And speaking of tracking our children...
But after thinking about it, why aren't we selling our kids? Instead we live in hope and fear of them. We hope they will figure out how to salvage our economy, and fear they will cut off our social security. Why not monetize them now? Sell the little bastards' (information), to Google. After all, unlike ourselves, Google is pledged to do no evil. What could possibly go wrong?

Apple's latest ad wants you to buy a $500+ tablet computer to run App Store apps on. Apple wants to sell you shiny things to make money.
Google's latest ad wants you to store personal details about your child's life, from birth, on their servers. Google wants your data so they can sell it (aggregated and anonymized, of course) to others to make money.
Taken in that context, Apple's ad might be obnoxious and highly commercial, but Google's is downright creepy.
I'm increasingly uneasy about Google.
