Did anyone else ever notice its logo looks like an eye? And an android eye at that? Because, man, it just strikes me as a bit Big Brother.

I could totally imagine that thing forcing you to go through a puzzle parcour/deathtrap or perhaps refusing to open the pod bay doors.

It reminds me of one of those 'Simon Says' things...

An evil Simon Says?
"Simon says: Obey!"
"Simon says: Grovel at the feet of your robot masters!"
"Simon says: Kill each other for my amusement!"

Looks like Simon Says to me. I'm sure it's better than a fox made of fire hug the globe, even if it's an evil Simon Says.

Keep in mind that it grew from that very fox and fails to give back to its parent. So there's that.

I read somewhere that in the ToS for the Chrome browser it says that Google owns all information going through their browser or some such. That could be total bull shit though.

You mean the auto-feedback feature that sends Google logs about misc stuff - like when it freezes - that can be easily turned off?

I could swear that they've kept the browser open. So people can upgrade it however they want.

Perhaps they have, but my last understanding was that they retain control over closed portions of the project and don't necessarily contribute what they see as improvements back to Mozilla's development teams. Though if one looks at Chrome as more a fork than a child that makes sense and isn't really a bad thing.
