if your going to browse google, make sure your always logged out... just finished watching a doc, it says google tracks your computer activity and keeps it for life... so dont sign in..if your using google..
old news i have nothing to hide google tracks my web searches and that is all you can turn it off if you want
type google doc on google video, i cant remembr the name.. but it tells the truth,... google is a scam.. they steal your private info... as long as your logged in with a cookie on google.
you must enable the PR toolbar for them to track you. You can actually sign up and see your web history.. It's pretty neat, it will go back as long as you've used the tool bar and the session is the same.. Google has been watching all of us for a long time, we can now see some of what the can see.
Google tracks Raw Data, unless you willingily sign up to any of their services and provide detailed info such as name address etc your just another statistic. Your ISP is what you should be more concerned about, they can match your browsing habits directly to your name, address, credit and banking info, phone number etc. Google cares more about the raw number and statistics, and how they can leverage it in to profits then they do about you personally. Besides, when the government requested information from 30 odd engines, Google was the only one to say no and take it to court.
Saying you've done nothing wrong so you have nothing to hide is a very sad attitude. So you don't care if the government illegally taps your phones, cause you have nothing to hide? What a terrible attitude.
There are plenty of things more important to worry about than a SE recording your searches. However, remember when AOL dumped? http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/08/06/aol-proudly-releases-massive-amounts-of-user-search-data/ I guess you might hope it will never happen again, but....
all big sites like google are watching and logging your activity on internet. i dont think it's bad. G is using it to more related search results to you
Google does it for years in order to show more relevant AdWords ads to us. More relevance to your interests in ads cause more clicks which make them become richer and richer. I had prepared a homework about this issue last month including Google Toolbar, GMail, Google Search, Google Phonebook, Google Docs&Spreadsheets etc. and their interests to our personal web surfing or general information.
Hehe! It was just like saying don't open a bank account, they will see how much money you have in there.
