But srsly, so what if multiple Google products share what they know about you? You do realize that if you have a club card at your local supermarket, they know every single thing you've ever bought there.
But what harm has it done to you? None. Never met anyone who had anything bad happen to them as the result of having a club card. For years people claimed that the insurance companies were going to figure out who was buying condoms and shit like that -- well guess what, 15 years on, none of that slippery slope stuff seems to have happened. They used the data just like they said they were going to. OMG they are going to TARGET you with ads. OMG you know what that means? You'll see ads for things you might actually want, while using Google's excellent services for free! Yup, sucks to be you! |

And if you are running Firefox, (and probably other browsers that I don't know too well) you can go into private browsing mode when you want to do searches for hemorrhoid cream or whatever. They can still see that someone at your IP address is doing those searches for spots to bury dead hobos, but they aren't linking them to your account because you won't be signed in. Then when you want to use your cookies again so you don't have to remember your Cellar password, you just exit private browsing mode. In Firefox it's: tools> start private browsing and then to stop, it's tools> stop private browsing. Or just use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P.

BTW, Lehmann's is developing a non- electric version of the internet. @UT, you're right it does suck to be me, but that has nothing to do with google.

Google's new business plan would be restricted to customized ads. Last May, Facebook and Google were contemplating purchase of Skype, until it was bought for $8.5B by MicroSoft. Google+ was initiated with the User's real name. The US Supreme Court denied law enforcement to attach GPS to someone's car without a search warrant. But why will LE need a search warrant when they can just do a FaceBook-, Google-, or Bing- search to follow an individual's activities. Silly, I know, but ... how do you, or anyone, know there has been or will be no harm done. In particular, I worry that employers (businesses) will exploit this in whatever way they see fit.

Anyone know how the facial recognition software accomodates for youth features? Is there an age past which they can be sure your face isn't growing? I thought, for example, that men's ears and noses could continue growing to a certain degree their whole lives.
