it doesn't really bother me too much.
I have Opera set so nothing is saved.. not even cookies, use CCleaner before every reboot, constantly change my IP via TMAC, use OperaTor, HostsMan, etc.
If after all those precautions and Google is still able to pin-point who i am .. good for them.
i just don't see how my 'search terms' can be used against me..
it's not like im a terrorist or a spy..
i search on Google for quick answers.. and they usually are good at it.
if i can provide a few bit of data for their services.. i think it's a fair trade off.
I hear about truly 'private' search engines all the time..
i just don't see what the hype is all about..
