Re: Will the digital cloud lead to a deluge of privacy class actions?

I don't own an android device.... yet...  but at least we're not limited to only app store purchases and can put what 
we want on a 'droid.
   And windows 8 app store will never be used by me, IF I make the switch to Win8....

This does bring up a good point, that we're quickly loosing the rights to the stuff that we buy.... what happened to 
"ownership being 9/10'ths of the law"?  we don't' actually own anything anymore, just purchase the ability to use 
something until the "company" decides they don't' want you to use it anymore until you pay them more money.... 
Blackmail or extortion isn't it?

So can Google (to your Android device), and now so can Microsoft (with
apps obtained via the Windows App Store), including Windows 8.
