Google and private data requests

This link http://tinyurl.com/p9j38oc came through today. it's only the tip of the iceberg - every national government is requesting information about its citizens and most people have no idea it's going on.
Most of us have nothing to fear about the information we leave lying around - the problem is when it arrives in the hands of those less scrupulous members of society who use it for the wrong purposes.

New review from Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, 20 Nov 2013
By gem.b - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Gatekeeper (Paperback)
Couldn't put Gatekeeper down! Loved the inclusion of short chapters, just to be able to keep in the story whilst stirring Bolognese and get a cliff hanger moment at the same time!! Very current IT theme, yet not too techie for the uninitiated, mixed with a huge variety of characters, great locations, a superb insight into politics, and the ever popular goodies and baddies. With lots of twists and turns along the way, Gatekeeper is well worth a read and will appeal to a wide audience. Something in it for everyone, so spread the word and pop it in a stocking...!

Microsoft Outlook

I find it ironic that one of the key differentiators now being marketed by Mircosoft and reason for using Outlook is so that Google can't "spy" on your email. Needless to say the question, of course, is what is Microsoft doing with your data.
In reality if you have the "intent" you can access and manipulate information.
Perhaps I should market Gatekeeper as Non Fiction..............

New Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Gatekeeper, 21 Nov 2013
By Rustom - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gatekeeper (Paperback)
For a first book this is a quantum leap. It bursts into life from the very beginning and continues apace without let up. It is in a way reminiscent of the Mikey Spillane novels but also very much in the style of the very early James BGatekeeperond novels. There is however a difference and that is that the former were somewhat far fetched, Gatekeeper is quite believeable and could easily happen. The style of writing is punchy and it is a page turner. Expect to see this book suddenly catch the public's attention and become a best seller and dont be too surprised if it appears as a film.

Outranked Dan Brown

Hi, not suggesting for a moment to be in Mr Brown's league but it is fun to at least for a few short moments to out-rank on Amazon one of the great commercial writers.

If you would like to download a free Kindle copy of the book time is running out.

cheers
