All this stuff happens in the background without you having to permit it or interact with it or anything.

But its not spying. Its just, I don't know. Its just something to do, you know. Just the operating system's way of twiddling its thumbs while waiting for you to do something. Computers get bored, I guess.

And I know what you're thinking. Can't whoever owns those servers, or anyone who has access to them, snoop through all your private stuff? Well, yeah. But, why would they? Why would anyone have any interest or use for, say, your credit card number? That's the very definition of absurdity and paranoia. You're probably some crackpot conspiracy theorist.

Now if you'll excuse me, I feel like going on a shopping spree at Amazon. Have a nice day.
