that's fuggin' great! I saw buzz pop up on the side in my gmail and I was like, WTF? and then just ignored it. Finally, I clicked on it and looked at it. FB knockoff...
sadly, I'll probably use it so google doesn't kill me :)

That's a great video. That's exactly how I felt when they forced the tabs in their IG interface to the left hand side, eating up precious screen real estate, and despite severe backlash on it during a random beta, just so they could add Google Chat into it - whether you want it or not and whether you use it or not - 2 months later. People hate it so much that a Firefox add-on that let's you put the tabs back up top flits in and out of the "most popular" list on Mozilla.org, and despite tens of thousands of gripes on their own forums they continue to silently roll along like a juggernaut.

That's when I realized that Google had grown out of control, and began lessening my use of their products.

I will not fall to google..nor Apple...

I use google for searching, but other than that, hotmail, verizon (non Android OS), etc...will be my rebellious items against them.

Saw this coming, will fight it~
