My thanks once again to NSShadowcat for sponsoring this month of BirchTree! Like I said last time, this site is absolutely worth your time. Author Mayur Dhaka 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:

This isn’t a violation but it sure feels like an invasion of an assumed personal space. Sure the informed Google Now user knows their email is being processed to know more about them but would they like it to go this far?

There is more good stuff going up every day at NSShadowcat, so you might want to take the change to subscribe today.
