"although Google claim that the action of collecting private data was inadvertent."

And if you believe that, I've got a nearly new Pedestrian Bridge to sell you.

After their lobbyists pay off their Congressmen, and all the bribes are passed out, the appealed fine should be in the 17-18 cent range. "A new record!!"
