Google Apologizes once again..
Recntly Google has been getting their hands slapped over privacy issues. The latest seems to be brought forth by Google itself!
As part of the Google Street view project, Google had been collecting information about WiFi networks, mainly for the purpose of providing better location data when you don’t have a GPS with you. All you would need to do is denote the network names, unfortunately, that’s not all that Google was collecting.
The software that was in charge of doing this work was also collecting personal information!
Once again, Google has apologized for their actions!
It seems that Google does not value its own apologies anymore! They seen to do what they want and then apologize if something goes wrong.
I assume that this is my misconception and Google is getting its act together. I hope someone is their Quality Assurance department is held accountable for this fiasco. Google is a big organization and I assume sooner than later they will act like one.
