   Thanks for explaining that the main reason, if not the only reason, people   
   set up a Google Account on the phone is that it's simply the easy way out.   
      
   And there's nothing wrong with taking the easy way out of any situation.   
   Unless the detrimental drawbacks of being lazy greatly affects others.   
      
   And, in this case, not hitting the skip button is lazy & rude (IMHO).   
      
   Within the context of this thread (which is mainly about DSID cookies),   
   my main objections proposed to people who take the easy way out are:   
   1. They should not ever complain that they "can't" have privacy;   
   2. And, they're being supremely rude to every human around them.   
      
   Again, it's fine for people to be lazy & rude, but it's also fine for me to   
   point out that anyone so lazy as to accept the defaults, is a rude person.   
      
   a. They're uploading my contacts to servers without my permission;   
   b. They're uploading my private information (such as my home location) too;   
   c. They're often uploading pictures that may have my photo in them, etc.   
      
   Unfortunately, probably one out of a million people are NOT lazy & rude.   
      
   And that's just about the way to summarize this problem set, since the   
   single most obvious way to prevent DSID tracking is to hit the skip button.
