arstechnica.com — When you're arguably the most powerful and prominent "information overlord" there is, chances are high that you'll get all manner of accusations tossed your way, too. Some might even go to court (but this one surely won't go far).

The fact that it is hand written is where the real win lies. He had the computer to search on google so why couldn't he have typed out his complaint?

As of now, the "fun stuff" is blacked out. Originally, it was a black box in the PDF that could be removed, but they were updated about a day ago to prevent users from gaining access to the SIN number, bank account info, etc. This was after I saw the overdraft charges within his bank account, and how the Sin number gets converted. (By some luck, it's composed of '1's, '6's, '7's, and '0's.)

Granted, the presentation is a bit off, and as somebody mentioned, the fact that the complaint was handwritten, but the heart of what he's yammering on about does have some truth to it.

This is pretty stupid, But, I bet the average internet user would be completely shocked if they knew how much Google knows about them. People who use google's other services, they ought to know. (but probably don't, either.)

So in other words this whole lawsuit was the brainchild of a night of binge drinking.

this has nothing to do about how much google knows about peoplethis has to do with an idiot suing google over the companies name upsidedown in leet speak * (leetspeak is numbers looking like letters combined into words made of numbers)
