My thanks once again to [NSShadowcat](http://nsshadowcat.com/?ref=birchtree.me) for sponsoring this month of BirchTree! Like I said last time, this site is absolutely worth your time. Author [Mayur Dhaka ](https://twitter.com/MayurDhaka?ref=birchtree.me)takes on the tech news with a unique perspective to the tech news of the day.

This week Mayur wrote about [Google's tendency for creepiness](http://nsshadowcat.com/google-nows-creepy-condolences/?ref=birchtree.me):
