Also, Google is not the only search engine or email service. So, it could be time to start shifting our internet habits; these things have a way of proliferating.Andrew Lionel Blaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976034095806583387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-26272201442635839442011-09-26T20:29:13.280-04:002011-09-26T20:29:13.280-04:00I thought having a corporate policy was inherently...I thought having a corporate policy was inherently evil...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250295324149056708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-57872126907208809712011-09-26T13:38:36.107-04:002011-09-26T13:38:36.107-04:00Bad news, indeed.
