Why not send email to google customer support, and ask them, if you are genuinely interested in knowing?
- WalterGR 16y agoGoogle doesn't have customer support.
- random42 16y agoI mean to say that if one is genuinely interested in solving a problem, ranting/cribbing in front of people who cannot do much, instead of bringing the issue up with the source of the problem, is rarely an effective solution.
- WalterGR 16y agoThe guy was just expressing his opinion. What the fuck is with all the downvotes, HN? Did the karma requirement for earning downvote privileges get reduced? I might as well limit myself to Reddit. Same attitude, more content.
- mati 16y agoHe is not google's customer.
- WalterGR 16y agoWe're all Google's customers. The majority of us just don't write them a check.
- po 16y agoMost of us are not Google's customers. We are the raw materials google uses to fabricate a product to sell.
- ori_b 16y agoNo, we're google's products. The advertisers are their customers.
- WalterGR 16y agoAre you a "customer" if you exchange something of value for a service? I think you are. By this definition, I am a customer of Google, as is anyone in this thread who uses a Google service. But I am not the final arbiter of meaning. The downvotes to my comment show that I am clearly wrong on this subject.
- ori_b 16y agoWell, by that definition, Google can also be considered your customer. Or any vendor can also be considered their customer's customer.
- WalterGR 16y agoI don't think I understand what you mean... Do you mean swapping the roles via inverting the sense of "giver of something of value" and "provider of service"? As in: "I provide Google the service of access to my personal data, and they give me use of Gmail as a payment, therefore Google is my customer." "I provide my vendor the service of access to currency, and they give me a product as a payment, therefore my vendor is my customer." That seems like a stretch, so I must be missing something.
- ori_b 16y agoNo, I'm just saying that it's a very vague way of defining a customer/vendor.

- testgoogl 16y agoI've been getting these infinite loops at login in gmail about once a week now. It's getting ridiculous. Google, please fix this. Sometimes clearing cookies doesn't even help
