However, with the recent debut of Amazon's A9.com, I havn't seen any mention to the information they intend to collect. I saw this article today, "The history server stores -- on our servers -- your history of interaction with us for the purpose of bringing that back to you in a very convenient way ... If you install the toolbar, then all your Web browsing, as well as all your searching, is stored as well." Where is all the media hype about this privacy issue?"

There are enough stupid people out there that will download this tool bar to make it worthwhile. These are the same ones who have spy-ware, ad-ware, and virus infected machines because they won't learn.

Proof that some people are just to stupid to own computers.
