The "enhanced accuracy" uses information they "accidentally" gleaned while doing google street view due to a "bug" in their code. Definitely a mistake as google respects your privacy.

The reason google is pushing for dominance in the browser space is so that when browsers implement "no tracking" or any other privacy settings, google can just ignore those settings for its own services. Ad blockers will block only adverts not coming from their ad servers and so on. All just part and parcel of not being evil.

...and to further prove just how benevolent they are--they've already announced they intend to kill off cookies. How nice of them. Total privacy, here we come...

1 - flip phone
2 - often turned off (OK - battery still in)
3 - often forgotten at home (power on or off - who pays attention)
4 - no "apps"

So, they know where I live - but they knew that to get the phone. And, if they bother tracking the thing, I'm home a lot, or just plan gone.

Wipe the junk off the phone - use it for a telephone.
Even if they could still find you, your engagement with reality makes you a harder target than the cell-phone zombies, anyway.

I don't understand why you're asking. That's a perfectly normal usage.

Profits are not always monetary.

Sorry, my dictionary must be broken then.

And Google's.

And pretty much the entire first page of search results.

But I'll take your word for it.

Wow.

You've managed to convince me that you're an idiot.

Well done!

I doubt you'll profit from it.

I'm just saying I've never heard it used in this way, and commenting on the results of my Google search. If that makes me an idiot, I'm not gonna lose much sleep over the name-calling. I've been called worse. Smile | :)

I don't think you're really proving your point with this one - to me that reads the same as "there's no money to be made from it", and it makes sense (again, to me) in this context.

But again...it could very well be a regional thing, and I'm not a native speaker. I'll keep an ear out for it.

And you know what? In hindsight, my response was rather dismissive of you, and I should know better. So let me take it back and apologize. Beer | [beer]

It doesn't seem so bad now I know the answer, but I think what threw me was I didn't expect so much of the answer to be plain text in the clue!

Plus "huff and puff" isn't an obvious phrase for annoyed Sigh | :sigh:
