Hi mohaughn,

Yes...spin ...I thought that too when I read the article...but they couldn't very well come out and say that they disagreed because CNET exposed a potentially hazardous risk of identity and information theft...or that they disagreed because they did not want an unknowing public to know how much data they actually collect on people...
so...the did a spin and blamed CNET for a breach of privacy.

Any way you slice the dice you can't mistake the irony

The laugh is at the expense of Google not CNET...
Where did CNET get the personal info on Schmidt? From simple Google searches... HAH!
I believe...or at least it was my understanding that HT's comments were concerning the underlining ulterior motives...which are usualy politically motivated...and I'm sure that played a part as well.
