The patent discusses the technology to analyze the background noise during your phone call and serve up ads for you based on the environmental conditions Google picks up on. Yeah, that’s creepy.
Don’t be evil.

Google’s intended policy is to walk the creepy line:

“Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.”
Obviously those making money from it will see that line in a different place than a lot of consumers. Google is already creepy enough IMO.
Hold on a minute. What’s with the sarcastic “don’t be evil?” Is “creepy” the same as “evil?” Is trying to effectively target advertising “evil?” What’s the commentary here, or is it just that whipping out a condescending “don’t be evil” on a Google story is too easy not to do?
