Personally i don't care much about Google, so I'll keep on using it as long as it meets my needs.
I consider every information passed through Internet to be unsafe, so there is nothing new to me. It just amuses me how people react to the statements like - "this company tries to spy on me", "that company tries to spy on you" - like in past the Internet was a vault and now it became compromised. There are no free meals, that is why EVERYTHING you get for free (a property that covers many Internet aspects as well as Google services) might harm you.
Anyhow, it was nice to learn few more things about Google...
