Google Becoming More Intrusive

Recently, I started putting events in the Apple calendar app on my iPhone. Not too long after, I started receiving emails in my gmail from Google about upcoming events in my calendar. Strange.

 

Anyone else experienced this? I don't really have a problem with Google knowing what I'm doing throughout my day (it's a reality that must be accepted), I'm just tired of all of the spam that I get in my email telling me about things that I already know. Is there an option that I can turn off, or is this just Google moving further towards the omniscient being that they look to become?

Really? I'm surprised that Google didn't take that time to promote their calendar app rather than just quietly setting it up in the background.

i welcome our google overlords, and i will the there when lord goog deals the killing blow to appleking

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

They make the majority of there money off data harvesting so I'm not too surprised.
