Samsung is building hype for its announcement next week of the Galaxy S IV, offering a new teaser video posted online.

The video features an actor playing a Samsung executive and a little boy, who is labeled as the "secret messenger" for the Samsung event.

The boy is excited by a big white box that is labeled with teaser graphics on its side. The Samsung executive and the boy open the box, and a bright light illuminates their faces, hiding what's inside.

The boy is then hounded by a little girl who is determined to find out what is inside the box.

"Go away, Jane," the boy yells before the video ends with the words "To be continued ..."

The Galaxy S IV is to be unveiled in New York at 4 p.m. PDT on March 14. The announcement is to be available live on the Samsung Mobile YouTube channel.

Galaxy = Android, and Android = Google.

Now, “Don’t be evil” is Google’s motto.

To better reflect reality, Google should change its motto to “Do as I say, not as I do,” for what Google does is evil indeed.

Did you read about Google’s latest acquisition? It bought THE GOVERNMENT:

“Google Made Donation in FTC Chairman’s Honor during Probe”: http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2020474601_googleftcchairmanxml.html

Here are some other incriminating headlines that fly in the face of Google’s laughably hypocritical “Don’t be evil” motto:

2) Google unsolictedly disseminates information from YOUR permanent Google dossier: “Google Draws Fire over Data Sharing on App Store”:

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-google-privacy-20130216,0,3752806.story

3) Google deliberately bypassess Safari users’ privacy settings to spy on them: “F.T.C. Fines Google $22.5 Million for Safari Privacy Violations”

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/09/f-t-c-fines-google-22-5-million-for-safari-privacy-violations/

4) Google surreptiously collects WiFi and other internet data while taking photographs for Google Earth: “Lawmakers Push FTC to Probe Google Privacy Breach”

5) Google spies on CHILDREN: “FTC Investigates Mobile Apps Makers on Children's Privacy”

And the aforementioned egregious instances of evil behavior are merely the proverbial tip of the iceberg, as all of you who have keep abreast of the news since Google’s inception know all too well.

Sadly, it’s crystal clear that the government won’t stop Google because as the contents of the article about buying the FTC Chair illustrate, along with the recent slap on the wrist Google received for its anti-competitive behavior, Google has bought the government's permission to do whatever Google wants.

But not to fear, for there is a way to make Google go the way of T-Rex, and that way is this: AVOID USING ANY AND ALL GOOGLE PRODUCTS. For if more and more people avoid using Google products, Google will slowly but surely be deprived of its lifeblood, which is people’s PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Then, the evil monstrosity that is Google will drop dead, and take its reckless trampling of your personal privacy with it to the grave.

Do your part to help kill the monster – ditch all-things-Google.
