Is this it? -- Meet Mr. Anti-Google

Ya, that's it, thanks. I was getting him confused with SearchKing, which did try the whole page-rank scam(who are now mad, because Google-whacked their scores). This guy is just mad because his stuff isn't first.

All the tracking is easily aviodable, and only relates to google usage. The list has nothing any other site cannot do.

"Young, stupid script kiddies and many bloggers still think Google is way kool","
lol, actually the vast majority of net users simply find it way useful and way better than the other engines.

"Many webmasters have deleted questionable material from their sites, only to discover later that the problem pages live merrily on in Google's cache"
theyre not responsible for what google holds in its cache, so their only complaint could be they wanted to hide something - provided the cache thing doesnt effect advertising revenues etc (but even then people are only looking atthe cache beacuse what they actually want has gone anyway...).

If it wasnt for the blatant personal attack and stupidly biased way it's written, I'd applaud the information. Because of the way it's written it implies google does something shocking and worse than everywhere else, so infact it's a misleading article written because he wants some revenge. sad.
