> We witnessed Google sending cease and desist letters to the developers and maintainers of the popular Android CyanogenMod for violating some patents by modifying open source elements of an open source licensed project
Taking into account that this is not what happened between Google and Cyanogen I doubt about the knowledge of him
He doesn't even get the phrase "Don't be evil" right. He writes "Don't do evil" multiple times.
Then he is surprised that google reads email. How else are they supposed to find out if something is spam or not if they don't read it? And email isn't secure in the first place. Anyone that doesn't know that shouldn't be up for a technical job at an internet-based company in the first place.
It seems like his complaint is that google allegedly turned emails over to the government. Well then why is he bringing up the distraction of "google reads my mom's email!!!"?
My thoughts exactly. If this guy didn't care to look up that the toss-up was about gApps (Google's proprietary products), that casts doubt onto the rest of his piece.
