Re. i-everywhere, "It's about... saying 'I want this; I want that. You're going to give me what I want on my terms'," says the head of marketing company Brand Forensics.
I think that may be one of the most depressing statements I've ever read.

Roy (Tuesday letters) has clearly never been to NZ. Plus I haven't spotted any Mordor-like mountains in Borehamwood recently.

I considered writing to complain about people having nothing better to do than write letters debating where "Middle Earth" was born but I've got better things to do. At the risk of mixing metaphors I'll get my invisibility cloak.

Re Katherine's letter suggesting Porridge watch should commence (Tuesday letters), it looks like a critical story has aleady t-oat-ally passed us by...

Tom Webb, Surbiton (Tuesday letters). If I left all my valuables on a table outside my house, I admit I wouldn't be bewildered to find they had all disappeared. I would however, be somewhat surprised to find they had been removed because the agents of a multi-billion dollar corporation were nipping out of their cars and pilfering any unsecured valuables as part of their paid employment.

Dear Tom, The fact I have my name on my doorbell does not give anyone the right to flog the information to all-comers, which is what Google has done. There are now no end of "free wifi" maps using this information to encourage all comers to steal the users bandwidth. It is in real terms very difficult to use wifi without broadcasting your SSID. That does not give Google the right to broadcast the fact, making them accessories to the crime of theft.
Fred, Rotherham

Tom - agreed. What trite - if you don't want to "share" you personal, private, innermost workings and such; use a blimmin' password!

Dear Saffron (Tuesday letters) You missed the expenses row, recession, end of recession, possible double dip, election, coalition, potential double Miliband, World Cup, Commonwealth Games, double maths, ash cloud, BP leak, Chilean miners stuck then unstuck and the spending review. How's the baby? xxx
Garey Southampton, Saffron Walden

To Saffron Garey. Having been on maternity leave, you already have what is conceivably the most important thing of all, so in that way, no, you have missed nothing at all.
Raymond Hopkins, Kronoby, Finland
