I use many Google services and have an Android phone, so I assume Google knows a great deal about me. But there's no reason not to add Tor when I can, especially for non-interactive things like Calendar where the primary usability hit (higher latency) is negligible. I use Tor for as much as I can, to try to enforce a "default-deny" policy for all of my personal information. This way, when I use something like Calendar and tell Google that I'll be at some place at some time, that's *all* I'm telling them. -- Sent from Ubuntu
