Interesting thing I read about Google
May be old news to some, but I found it....interesting.
"The most remarkable thing about Google is not their "Don't be evil" mantra, but that so many forget to gag on it. For starters, Google is the biggest privacy invader in history. They track the search terms you use with a unique ID number in a cookie that expires in 2038. If you have ever given Google your e-mail address, then this ID can identify you as a person. When you sign up for News Alerts or to post on newsgroups, or indicate an interest in a Gmail account, or request that Google delete your telephone number with its zoom-in street map to your house, they associate your e-mail address with your cookie ID. This single cookie, and the information associated with it, is shared among all of Google's services."
