trouble: Sketch of Hermoine from Harry Potter with "Bookworms will rule the world (after we finish the background reading)" on it (Default)

I'm sorry this image is so small. It's an image from the new Google video that explains their plans for how to change your privacy policies! it's not subtitled, despite Google's recent commitment to totally being accessible to people with disabilities. Thus I turned on YouTube's AutoCaption.

The video says:
With fewer words, simpler explanations, and less legal gloop to wade through.

The captions provide:
With fewer words simpler explanations and leslie copeland tweeter.

Actually, I read Google's new privacy policies last night... and they kind of scare me... But I've got a bit of a cold, and I'm a bit foggy-headed, and not sure I parsed them right.

In the meantime, I think Leslie Copeland Tweeter should be the name of an adventure book heroine!

Y/Y?

I'm almost tempted to contact Google about their new policy with a message like this:

"I just watched your video, and I was curious about Leslie Copeland Tweeter. I didn't see any further references to her, and I was wondering who she is, and what her role would be.

"Is she going to be a customer liason?"

And if it leads to them going WTF? maybe they'll realize the importance of actually providing captions.

Shorter Google Privacy Policy: Fly, you fools!

I'm not sure I read right the first time (and I don't have the spoons to reread, today ['cause virus X]), but there's this thing about changing all user names on Google's Services to Google's standard (I.E. Birth Certificate name)? Supposedly to make it easier for people to know who you are?

"Blogger" (where I have Plato's Nightmare) and YouTube (Where I have a channel) are Google-based, and I'm CapriUni on both. For my own consistency, to make it easier for friends throughout cyberspace to recognize me, I decided 11 years ago, to use CapriUni as my online "face". If Google automatically switches my username on their services, it would actually make it harder for actual people to know who I am, 'cause it would be inconsistent.

That's all I've got. Except hilarious giggles that sound like someone wheezing to death.

I read the bottom image 1st and thus ended up thinking Leslie Copeland was some famous tweeter (like a famous blogger) who would be in the video explaining things.

Meanwhile, this is yet another reminder to export my googledocs stuff, (update my current export actually) and really try and move the hell over to Zoho.

The crap captioning is yet another reason that it's time to get the hell outta Dodge. Argh, Google, suck less.

I'm also worried about this new privacy policy -- the internet is getting really weird these days, it's like they don't want people to use it any more...

Google informs me that Leslie Copeland is a Fijian javelin thrower, just had to share :->

Now, I'm even more disappointed that Google promised him and failed to deliver!
