Google's new policy for their "Shopping" tab:
“Dear Merchant,
We’re writing to let you know about some upcoming changes to the product listings you submit to Google. As we recently announced, we are starting to transition our shopping experience to a commercial model that builds on Product Listing Ads. This new shopping experience is called Google Shopping. As part of this transition, we’ll begin to enforce a set of new policies for Google Shopping in the coming weeks. A new list of the allowed, restricted, and prohibited products on Google Shopping is available on our new policy page – Google Shopping policies – NEW – Google Merchant Center Help.
Based on a review of the products you’re currently submitting, it appears that some of the content in your Merchant Center account, ****************, will be affected by these policy changes. In particular we found that your products may violate the following policies:
Weapons
When we make this change, Google will disapprove all of the products identified as being in violation of policies. We ask that you make any necessary changes to your feeds and/or site to comply, so that your products can continue to appear on Google Shopping.
To help you through this new set of policies and how to comply with them, we would like to give you some specific suggestions regarding the changes needed to keep your offers running on Google Shopping.
Weapons
As highlighted on our new policy page Google Shopping policies – NEW – Google Merchant Center Help, in order to comply with the Google Shopping policies you need to comply first with the AdWords policies AdWords Policy Center – Advertising Policies Help. We do not allow the promotion or sale of weapons and any related products such as ammunitions or accessory kits on Google Shopping. In order to comply with our new policies, please remove any weapon-related products from your data feed and then re-submit your feed in the Merchant Center. For more information on this policy please visit Weapons – Advertising Policies Help.
We’re constantly reviewing our policies, and updating them when necessary, to ensure we’re offering the best experience possible to our users. We’ve identified a set of policy principles to govern our policy efforts on Google Shopping in the U.S. These principles are:
1) Google Shopping should provide a positive experience to users.
Showing users the right products at the right time can truly enhance a user’s experience. When people trust us to deliver them to a destination that’s relevant, original, and easy to navigate this creates a positive online experience to the benefit of both users and merchants.
2) Google Shopping should be safe for all users.
User safety is everyone’s business, and we can’t do business with those who don’t agree. Scams, phishing, viruses, and other malicious activities on the Internet damage the value of the Internet for everyone. Trying to get around policies or “game the system” is unfair to our users, and we can’t allow that.
3) Google Shopping should comply with local laws and regulations.
Many products and services are regulated by law, which can vary from country to country. All advertising, as well as the products and services being advertised, must clearly comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
For the most part, our policies aren’t designed to describe every law in every country. All advertisers bear their own responsibility for understanding the laws applicable to their business. Our policies are often more restrictive than the law, because we need to be sure we can offer services that are legal and safe for all users.
4) Google Shopping should be compatible with Google’s brand decisions.
Google Shopping must be compatible with company brand decisions. Our company has a strong culture and values, and we’ve chosen not to allow ads that promote products and services that are incompatible with these values. In addition, like all companies, Google sometimes makes decisions based on technical limitations, resource constraints, or requirements from our business partners. Our policies reflect these realities.
We’ve given much thought to our stance on this content, as well as the potential effect our policy decision could have on our Merchants, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Sincerely,
The Google Shopping Team
© 2012 Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google Merchant Center account.

Well... I was using Google storage for backup of my 100GB of family photos but the other day started moving everything to Microsoft SkyDrive. So guess once the migration is complete I'll at least cancel that service with Google.
I also have an Android phone when it's time to get a new one I will certainly look at new phones running MS. I certainly can't do Apple!

Looks like I'll be getting rid of my Android phones. Anybody know Apple's, Microsoft's, and RIM's stance on the 2nd amendment?
Research in Motion is pretty shaky financially these days. They used to own the Military/Gov't. market, there has been concerted effort in those areas tomove to Android.
I have some Google apps that I am starting to find alternatives for, and I get virtually all my Android apps from the Amazon Appstore anyways. I don't like how totally controlled the IPhone applications and architecture are.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I'm using Bing now...
I switched to Bing 16+ months ago & haven't looked back. Not only do you get less overall hassle, but each day you get a cool new photo to look at, with optional research buttons if you can't guess what it is.
A couple years ago, they had some catchy ads in my local theaters, which made me look. I looked & decided their basic approach was more fun than Google's lame offering of a different "GOOGLE" theme each day. Shortly afterward I heard how much Google had a hand in bringing the muslim brotherhood to power in Egypt & other areas recently. That's not cool.
It's official...Google has become too big for it's britches if it's turned into a dominating world force. Sorta reminds me of "SMERSH" or one of those other James Bond adversary "world is all mine" groups. Except Google is constantly in my face & playing for keeps. Not cool in the slightest, IMO...
