Glad that I'm not an Android user nor do I have any kind of account with Google.

YadaMe: Also if you go on holiday, google+ will do some cool auto-awesome stories showing the photos on maps etc. As always, does the usefulness (google now, location history, photo location tagging) outweigh the perceived loss in privacy (does a large company really care about you as an individual?)


My wife and I both have Nexus 5's, took heaps of pictures in Japan etc etc and we both got stories... it's very cool and a good way to remember what we did and where we were

Do you also browse the internet via a VPN, run script blocking and not have Facebook account too?

I find my location history data extremely useful.

I work in a 24/7 industry. I sometimes use the data to work out my invoice charges for start and finish times when I've forgotten exact times.




If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.
