Funny, from another post, In his classic book, Only the Paranoid Survive, Grove details the story of leading Intel through the dramatic transition from the memory business to the microprocessor business.
There are also studies of rats where the paranoid rats who lurk in corners and study the environment more are more likely to survive than those who are not paranoid.
Yeah, I think that. In fact, I'm almost positive of it, because to show me "relevant" ads, they have to read my spreadsheet.
I don't trust google at all. They've shown repeatedly that they are not not evil. Regardless, their stuff isn't very secure. I read about all kinds of backdoors people find into their apps. Putting your ideas into a google spreadsheet is sharing it with the world and you'll never be able to delete it from their lightning machines.

Its an algorithm that scans through the text to pick up keywords in order to target advertising. There isn't a person literally reading over your content.
Aside from your paranoia, why do you think your ideas are worth stealing anyway? I could care less if someone came across a document of my unpursued ideas. If they can execute them or germinate them better than I can, they deserve to have them.
They are worth a lot. I implement many of them. And thanks for explaining to me how the google ads work. I thought they had an army of people looking at all the web pages and clicking check boxes by the ads that should show there. It's amazing that they can automate something like that! I have new respect for google now. That's awesome!

Paranoia much? Do you really think some evil genius at Google is reading your idea list, waiting for the right one to pop up so he can steal it?

So, yes, I'm paranoid -- and proud of it!
