David and Goliath
Have you read the news about a Harvard Law Student who filed the class-action complaint against Google? No? Read the below excerpt and come back. What do you think? Is this the modern day story of David and Goliath? A student fighting for her rights!
The complaint alleges that Google Buzz, which automatically opted-in all Gmail users upon its launch, unlawfully shared personal data without users' permission. The document cites the Federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Federal Stored Communications Act and California common and statutory law.
Do you want to know what opinionated Wassup Jose thinks about it? I think she is a media whore who filed the complaint seeking her 15 minutes of fame. Think about it for a second, Harvard "Law" Student files class-action complaint against Google.
What does she have to lose? Nothing at all, but she has a lot to gain from the complaint. If she loses the complaint, she got her 15-minutes of fame and goes away. What if she wins? I bet she uses it to her advantage. "I filed and won a case against Google!"

I think she already lost. You can disable buzz and well…you’re using GMAIL. They own you via EULA. I hope she read it.
