In reply to Frank. 1. Because of this data gathering I do not use a smart phone, and I limit my use of my tablet to web searching and posting on BtB. I have never registered with any of the official sites to get other software, and definitely do not use google for email. 2. I do not use google analytics, My web server, Amixa, provides me a very basic statistics page that tells me how many hits I am getting as well as where those hits are coming from. That's all I really need, as I do not earn money through ads.

This is nothing new and its not limited to Vizio. Its been going on in different forms even before Google collected and shared your data. Its happening now in most of your smart phone and tablet applications (including your email, social media and browsing habits), in the web connected “smart” product you buy like thermostats, cameras, TVs, set-top boxes, web based radios and speakers. The government is even doing it.

The “Internet of Things” is all about collecting and using customer use data. Welcome to the connected world.

Bob, what analytics does your web host provide to you and how do you use the information?

Obama’s legacy?

Children (with the direction of well trained and well placed handlers) playing with community organizing, eventually the resulting racism and biases will be revealed. This is fundamental change.
