That is scary...

Sort of what Amazon.com does with personalized stores that are filled with items similar to what you have purchsed in the past.

No thanks I'll pass

"Google: Looking for ways to do more evil"
Thanks for the info :)

But something about all this data mining going on just...doesn't feel right.

To quote Han Solo "I got a bad feeling about this". (ya, I'm a nerd who plays starwars galaxies :p)

I don't like this either.

An "intersting" features is that if you make a search it shows how many times you clicked each link for that search. The privacy issues with this don't need to be explained, especially not for those who share a comuter with somebody else ;-)
