Oops! Sorry! Our Bad!

What could possibly go wrong?

Google was accused of spying on households yesterday after it admitted secretly copying passwords and private emails from home computers.

The internet search giant was forced to confess it had downloaded personal data during its controversial Street View project, when it photographed virtually every street in Britain.

In an astonishing invasion of privacy, it admitted entire emails, web pages and even passwords were ‘mistakenly collected’ by antennae on its high-tech Street View cars.

I think this afternoon I’ll walk into a bank and see if I can “mistakenly collect” some cash.

    I’ve noticed a lot of posters on Ace say they use Bing in preference to Google. I’m starting to see why.
