Well, they aren't really good points, but I don't think it makes Google evil or anything.

5. okay...
6. right, so if you are illiterate and/or blind and can't read their prominent notice of this (and it is prominent), you should be scared
7. i care
8. and what, this is bad? i don't want a search engine that people can manipulate
9. okay.

Why do people go online, a place where millions or billions live, work, play, and do business with each other...

...and then demand absolute privacy, anonymity, and expect awesome public utilities (like Google) to not have some kind of agenda? We live in a capitalistic system. Deal with it or boycott search engines altogether.

I fail to believe that the solution to dealing with infringement of privacy and the widespread "abuse" of technology is to become amish.

2. Google records everything they can:
For all searches they record the cookie ID, your Internet IP address, the time and date, your search terms, and your browser configuration. Increasingly, Google is customizing results based on your IP number. This is referred to in the industry as "IP delivery based on geolocation."

Oh no, I'm evil too!! :Q :Q :Q My bait company website records IP, date/time, what site you came from, what search terms you used, what browser you have, what OS you have, what ISP domain you're on, AHHHHHHH THE HUMANITY! :evil:

Duuuuuuh, somebody needs to learn what cookies actually do... they just store information, in a text file, in your cache. That information that gets stored is generally for keeping site settings like options you picked or shopping cart items. There is nothing from that cookie that a site can get that they didn't already get in order to put it into a cookie! They could just as easily track IPs and history on their end, but it's less resource hogging by keeping the "cookies" on our end.

People are so paranoid and misinformed...

LOL,

from (a classic): http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=1220

quote: "
STEP 2: Use an "alternative" webbrowser. Scientific studies at Harvard University have shown over and over again that people who simply use the common "Internet Explorer" webbrowser provided by Microsoft are clinically known as "stupid faggots." As a result, you should invest all your free time testing out beta Internet software being written by one of those guys who sits in a dark basement with oscilloscopes set to the "sine wave" pattern all day. These browsers are invariably better than IE because they take up .004% less system resources, they allow you to customize the top buttons so one of them inexplicably reads "grandma" and takes you to a midget scat porn site, and (most importantly) they do NOT endorse Microsoft. You see, there are two types of people on the Internet: ones with huge ePenises, and ones who like Microsoft. It's up to you to decide which one you are, and if it requires you to write up bug reports every thirteen seconds, then so be it. To find the "best" alternative webbrowser currently on the market, go to Download.com and do a search for the least popular or least downloaded Internet program, because "least popular" is a codeword for "more exclusive." If you use IE, you're in a group with millions of other slack jawed yokels; if you run Big Ed's Hardcore WebPowerBrowser v0.00002 Alpha, then you're part of a tiny elite club that only includes Big Ed and his Dungeon Master friend. Be sure to extol the virtues of this browser at every chance, one-upping those Micro$h4ft drones who are content with their crappy, bug-infested piece of crap.
