Google Is Watching You And It Reads Your Mail
During a speech in the UK, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, stated that Google reads their users email as part of a failed bid to drive ad-based revenue.
The software giant’s chief made the remarks during a discussion about consumer software revenue models, and Ballmer used the dialogue as an entry point to take his shot at Google. The video is available to watch via the web site Mydeo.com. Ballmer made his remarks after an audience member asked him if an advertising model could support software business in the future. The CEO said a combination of models – – commercial and ad-paid – – would go forward.
