I think that you have to look the definition of to sell. Or just read your links because I'm none of them it is said that Google sells information

Again, where does it say in that article that Google sell your personal information as you are claiming.

Again, not an official or credible document. I could create exactly the same document but change the word Google for Apple.

Your really clutching at straws now.

That data is self-declared piece of datum that Google collects when a user interacts with its many web services.

But of course you will never believe that because you just dont want to believe the truth about Google.

Pega English is not your mother language and you think that collect and sell are synonyms.

But really, they don't mean the same and collecting data to sell Ad space is not the same that selling user data.

The reason PC attracted more games is also because of hardware progression. Apple has always controlled the hardware in their computers far more stringently, and the hardware has always been behind the PC equivalent.

iMacs still use laptop graphics cards to power desktop computers. They work fine for your average consumer, but someone who plays games is never going to opt for a Mac over a PC, because they're always going to be playing with lower framerates.

Unless you're going to have an exclusive need for iOS programs (iMovie, Final Cut etc), as a gamer Macs don't really make sense. Apple has made it pretty clear that gaming is not something that's of a priority to them. Both platforms have strengths and weaknesses, gaming is one of Apple's weaknesses (PC gaming anyway).

My 2005 PC box had the same GPU as my iMac, and the Mac was only slightly worse with FPS than the PC.
I do agree Apple is not as bleeding edge on tech as the PC world, but the hardware is still top line in iMac's and of course Pros (mini is exception, but then it is OK for purpose).

In the Apple 2 days and early 90's Mac the game support for Mac was very good, and in a few cases superior than PC (WIn/DOS)

As already mentioned, collecting and selling are not the same. Ive already linked to the exact part of the Google Privacy Policy that relates to them sharing data, but you seemed to have ignored that.

Oops. just noticed your in time-out.

True to a point, but...

...as it's been stated previously for the last couple of years, Google doesn't sell your information. They sell adspace. Like billboard advertisers on the internet. Yeah, they datamine, but they don't hand that information off to the highest bidder. The information they're holding on to is worth too much just to get rid of it so everyone else can use it. Instead, they say "hey, we know where to put your product where it'll get the most attention. You pay us, and we'll use what we know to advertise it for you effectively.

It's the way air TV has worked for about decades now.

Good point. Very good point.
