Google is tracking your every move, apparently

Conspiracy theorists have always told us to be wary of Google’s mysterious and far reaching powers.

And if this video is anything to go by, it seems that they might just be right.

In the clip, a YouTube user reveals that all Android smart phone users can check where they’ve been simply by going on Google Maps, and there doesn’t seem to be a time-limit dating backwards either.

But while the whole thing seems sounds a little bit Orwellian, you’ll be pleased to know that you can easily delete your location history, if you don’t fancy a powerful multinational corporation tracking your every move.

In reality though, we reckon that the whole thing is actually quite handy.

Forgotten the name of that restaurant you went to last night? Not a problem, simply take a look at your recent locations.

Thoughts?

They been doing this for years. It's not even new.

They only tracking you down, so they can get better results about what you like.

Like for example: If you are searching for new car deals, they want to give you good results about new car deals.

I so wished I had this when I went to London. My friend and I did a walking tour for hours on our first day. I saw a pair of boots in a store window that I just wanted to have. We got distracted and went to eat. I forgot about the boots until we got back to the hotel. I figured I would go the next day and buy the boots. After walking and walking, I couldn't find the store again. I left London without the boots.

Google is tracking you.

Big Brother is listening to your phone calls.

Uncle is reading your emails.

The FCC is watching you watch your TV.

What's next? The UN will be worried about how much water your toilet uses?

Heh, the video doesn't work anymore. Google owns youtube.
