Microsoft ironically selling shirts and mugs that make fun of Google stealing people’s data ...

Everyone knows Bill Gates thinks his company’s search engine Bing is much better than Google. Now the official Microsoft store has added a new line of products jabbing at Google, and its web browser, Chrome for customer data theft.

Now you too can own your very own, “Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data” mug or t-shirt with the Google Chrome logo on it. Not sure what to get your Aunt Netta who has everything this Christmas? Maybe she needs a creepy t-shirt with the Google Chrome logo dressed up in a fedora and trench coat that says, “I’m watching you” on the front and “Don’t get Scroogled” on the back. Scroogled is the phrase Bing came up with for an anti-Google campaign regarding Gmail breaking wiretap laws when the company uses keywords in emails to target people with ads.

The description for the $7.99 mug, for example, says, “Put 15-ounces of your favorite beverage into this stoneware mug to let the world know that even though Google is trying to make money on almost every aspect of your digital life, you’re still calm. And fully caffeinated.” Prices are pretty cheap in the Scroogled store. Microsoft is selling the shirts for just $11.99, an amount much less likely to net a lot of profit as it is to just try and make Google look bad. Full story...
