Carbonite online backup

THIS IS NOT A SPAM THREAD lol


Anyways. Was thinking today how people get all crazy when they find out companies or government can get access to their phone calls, internet history, tv viewing history, shopping history, etc. All this stuff that data companies can compile. Then bigger powers can view our personal info & shit.

But Carbonite online backup & others like it? THAT'S THE WHOLE ENCHILADA MAN!

Oh my fuck. What if somehow the government got hold of this shit to use against you somehow? Could it be subpoenaed (< damn that's a hard word)? This isn't just your browsing history dudes. This is EVERY fucking thing on your pc. ALL OF IT. And we pay for it...lol.

Just seems odd we are so worried about protecting our phone records & such from prying eyes, but we will pay some company to keep our entire computer contents safe for us. Pictures, entire documents, tax returns, addresses, emails, letters, thoughts, everything.

I'm not doing it. I have an 80g external that I keep in a large fire safe. I update it about every 3 months or so or if I add a bunch of pics or something.

Thoughts? I just see this building up to be some prime way for people to get everything on us.

You can't trust anyone these days so why in the hell should I trust a company with little or no history and track record? Institutions with big names over 100 years old are fucking us raw, why in the hell should I trust been here for three seconds so far?

HAHA! So weird. Carbonite pulled their ads from Rush Limbaughs show. I'm glad. I tune in to hear Rush & it seems all he does is spend time shilling for them.


http://news.yahoo.com/7th-advertiser-pulls-limbaughs-show-194641280.html

NEW YORK (AP) -- A flower company is the seventh advertiser to pull its ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program in reaction to his derogatory comments about a law student who testified about birth control policy.

ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."

The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

ProFlowers had said on Twitter that posts it received about Limbaugh's remarks affected its advertising strategy. ProFlowers is an online flower delivery service.

Limbaugh called the 30-year-old Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" last week after she testified to congressional Democrats in support of national health care policies that would compel employers and other organizations, including her university, to offer group health insurance that covers birth control for women.

He apologized to Fluke on Saturday after being criticized by Republican and Democratic politicians and after several advertisers left the show.

Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc. hosts Limbaugh's program, one of the country's most popular talk radio shows. The company is supporting Limbaugh, whose on-air contract with Premiere runs through 2016.

"The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue," Premiere Networks said in a statement emailed Sunday by spokeswoman Rachel Nelson. "We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions."

Clear Channel Media and Entertainment operates more than 850 radio stations in the U.S., and Premiere says it's the largest radio content provider in the country, syndicating programs to more than 5,000 affiliate stations.

When asked which companies or organizations were the largest advertisers on Limbaugh's show, Nelson said that that information was "proprietary." Nelson declined to say how much revenue the company will lose with the advertiser defections or how much revenue Limbaugh's show brings in.

Clear Channel's parent company was taken private in 2008 by private equity firms Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital.

Honestly. I would have thought the Rush Limbaugh Show would have been sponsored by Pepto Bismol and Beeno.

Given all the prescription drug ads on the air nowdays, I'm surprised Mush isn't sponsored by the products he's personally endorsed for years.....
