Sorry Google, I don't want to give away my right to privacy. My data stays on my harddrive (or on my ssd in this case).

Given enough rum, pretty much any argument will work.

Aha! That's the real purpose behind the barge that Google's moving from San Francisco to Stockton. It's for keeping their Chromebook franchise afloat!
