There are a lot of people in the world that hate corporate America - I’m not one of them. They are pounding spammers with reckless abandon and the latest win is at Earthlink, where a judge has awarded them $11 million from the pockets of a mortgage spammer.

I was wondering when mortgage spammers were going to get a clue - the real estate boom looks like it is over. Since that didn’t get them to stop, maybe this Earthlink win will.

A new Google service for syncing data is probably not what you need then.

Or, maybe, Google will take a stand like (or just join up with) Earthlink, who says you can pry our users’ data from our cold, dead (or subpoenaed) hands.

You’d be better off altogether by just buying yourself a backup hard drive. And you never know who else might benefit from that!
