Microsoft Now Sells T-Shirts That Claim Google’s Chrome Steals Your Data
- Pxl_Buzzard 13y agoHow legal is this? Is Microsoft willing to accept a lawsuit thinking that the PR damage might be worth it?
- smackfu 13y agoUsing the logo is not a good idea.
- keeperofdakeys 13y agoI'm not sure if that "microsoftstore.com" site is genuine or not. "microsoft.com" is registered directly to the microsoft corporation, whereas "microsoftstore.com" is registered to a whois proxy in auckland, so we can't easily find the real owner.
- smackfu 13y agoGo to Microsoft.com, then click Shop at the top, then Microsoft Store and you get to this microsoftstore.com URL.
- shirro 13y agoI searched through the site but couldn't find the "Microsoft backdoors your computer" t-shirt.
- Zhenya 13y agoI'm going to get one and ironically wear it around Google Campus. Well maybe if someone sent me one, I dont want to give those classy people any of my money.
- ericcumbee 13y agoWe will know what happened if they start reporting a freak accident involving a pedestrian and one of Google's driverless cars.
- jfoster 13y agoI can't imagine how this will not result in a lawsuit, if Microsoft is actually behind this. They're using the Chrome logo alongside a message that Google will find very objectionable. The claim that Chrome "steals your data" seems a massive overreach. I'm trying to imagine what Chrome does that would be closest to that claim, and the best I can come up with is that searches in the omnibox are sent to Google by keystroke (for search suggestions) rather than upon Enter being hit. That said, the claims are so comical that I am tempted to order something. They're ridiculous enough to seem cool.
