Dare I wonder how this was made? And why Heart thinks Dean would want to buy it?

Tell me again why Google isn’t evil?

Cidu Bill on Jul 10th 2009

Their newest scam: You can’t open up a Gmail account without giving them your cell phone number. It has to be an actual number, because they’re going to use it to send you a confirmation code. And after they do that? They keep your number on file “to make sure it is used to create a limited number of accounts.”

The reason for this new requirement? The customer’s safety and security. Yeah, you betcha.

I suspect I will never be desperate enough for a new e-mail address that I will turn over my cell phone number to Google.  They can make all the promises they want about how they’ll never use the information for improper purposes: you’d have to be a fool to believe somebody who lies to obtain that information in the first place.
