People have different privacy concerns and needs. To best serve the full range of our users, Google strives to offer them meaningful and fine-grained choices over the use of their personal information. We believe personal information should not be held hostage and we are committed to building products that let users export their personal information to other services. We don’t sell users’ personal information.

Um, not exactly. The potential benefits of such an act would not even come close to the consequences.

Yeah, having the control and alt keys placed where they are definitely looks convenient, and I think the tab would probably better in the long run. Man, if someone used dvorak on that thing, they could be so productive.

All production magic is credited to Regina Dellea and Christian Mazza.
