Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls

We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.

Dear Google user,

We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.

We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.


One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Tailored for you Easy to share and collaborate
Easy to work across Google

Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.

Tailored for you

If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.

Easy to share and collaborate

When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.


Protecting your privacy hasn't changed

Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)


Notice of Change

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

TRANSFORMERS: THE RIDE


Here are some leaked concept art images from Universal Studios' Transformers: The Ride. Universal first annnounced in 2008 that they were launching an attraction based on Michael Bay‘s Transformers at the Hollywood and Singapore theme parks. opening irst announced in 2008, The ride is said to us High Definition 3D footage, special effects and “stunning” robotics to “place humans in the middle of a war between the Autobots and Decepticons”. The new ride lsts five minutes, a quarter of a mile, with the ride vehicles rising to 60 feet in the air. It reportedly used the same ride technology that The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride from Universal’s Islands of Adventure. 
Universal recently announced that the ride will also have 20-30 minutes of storytelling for the waiting as visitors wait to board the ride. This is said to be the similar to the experience done at Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in Orlando. 
Check out the the cool concept art thanks to Theme Park Insider:

The Transformers ride replaces the old Backdraft special effects show and special effects stages in the lower lot at the Hollywood park, and is expected to open in early 2012. The Singapore ride is set to open in late 2011.
I have never been a fan of the Universal Studios parks in comparison to Disney. This looks pretty cool, but I would still rather go to Disney World any day of the week. What are your thoughts?

Fast Five KILLED the box-office!

Fast Five made an amazing $83.6 million at the North American box office this weekend. Universal topped 2009's Fast & Furious, which made $70 million. The fifth installment averaged $22,942 per theater, making it the best April debut ever! It makes sense that Universal has already fast-tracked a sixth installment and changing the focus from street racing to heist film. Fast Five had a budget of $125 million, the film will easily top the $353 million Fast & Furious made globally. According to ERC, The film could be closer to $500 million, since it's already grossed $165 mil worldwide; Fast Five made $45.3 million this weekend internationally, for a total of $81.4 million.

For me it is easy to understand why Fast Five is doing this well. I loved watching the movie and had one of the best times going to a theater in a long time. For me, it was the best film of the franchise so far. Justin Lin is a great director that knows how to film action sequences. I am now very interested to see him helming the next Terminator film.

Did you see the Fast Five this weekend? What were your thoughts? Which Fast and Furious film do you like the most and why?
