A new thing: whilst watching an ad on a game c/o my tablet, I noticed Google Play had a notification. Curious, I checked it - said some game or other had installed.

I GAVE NO SUCH PERMISSION!!!

To coin a phrase, WTAF?! (third word is 'actual'...we all know what the other three are). I immediately uninstalled it - I forget and don't care what it was.

HOW DARE THEY? Whoever the *bleep* they are?! Ads are bad enough (and now some have developed a new trick - instead of the cross to banish the ad, you get an arrow...and another ad plays!), but to install software without the user's permission?! That is going TOO FAR IMO!!!
