Trading a little convenience for your privacy again. Google will track everything you buy, quantity, how often, etc.... Do you really want google to know you bought anti itch ointment for your scrotum? Maybe all that bacon you purchase will be available to your health insurance and your rates will go up because of your unhealthy diet.

How about instead of spending money on ipads and the extra costs associated with support, infrastructure, staff, replacement every few years when apple retires a model etc to support the ipads, schools could instead fix crumbling buildings, lights, buy new desks, provide better lunches, ...

My generation learned from books, blackboard, chalk, and a classroom that didn't have 60 kids in it.

Comment Separate streaming service (Score 1) 90

To get this you'd need to sign up for disney's streaming service... Not going to happen. I don't subscribe to a service for one show. Was it CBS and that Star Trek show they offered on Streaming only? That didn't last. This won't either.

Dear disney. Do you want to get your shows pirated? Because pulling your content from netflix and starting your own service is how you get your pirated.

I also would not use a Free Service wrapped up in a black box on top of my TV. You obviously need to let it analyze your viewing patterns for those 'recommendations', plus who knows what is in the eula... probably lets them analyze your viewing data as well as requiring ID/birthdate/Credit card number... who knows what data it wanted. Maybe Joe Schmoe in Dallas doesn't wan't you knowing he watches The Big Bang Theory and knows he can pirate it and watch it in private instead.

I would.

>> "we will never sell or share data related to YOUR content libraries"

1) until MPAA sues them for it
2) Until someone/some company offers them a boat load of money for it.
3) They decide to offer it to the highest bidder to help their bottom line for the 'investors'

Every Company always says they will NEVER sell your data.... until they do.
