- shurcooL 13y agoBecause all companies always act like one of its employees did one time. Not defending Google, but pointing out the sweeping generalization.
- matunos 13y agoTo be fair, that wasn't just "one of its employees", it was the head of Google Chrome Security.
- CamperBob2 13y agoI don't think the people arguing with Justin in that thread are novices or naive users, but they do seem to be unaware that when you lend your computer to someone, you should set them up with their own user account if you don't want them surfing through your stuff. It's funny how the tech community browbeat Microsoft for years about how Windows should have been designed as a multiuser system like Unix, and then when Microsoft finally took their advice and made the necessary user-level security improvements, their efforts were ignored.
