I don't like the whole 'Google tracks us' thing either, but it seems so hypocritical when the background seems to be the Oracle-Google dispute, as we all know that Oracle isn't really known for being the good company either. But at least the whole privacy topic gets some media coverage that way.
Oracle would do better to just publish facts and let other people doing the fighting, IMO. They risk tainting the whole discussion with their radioactivity and I'd prefer it be based on the facts.
