    to Whomever knocked this as a troll. Keep in mind that the google toolbar when "advanced features" are turned on is in fact spyware, it sends the same thing that claria does back to the google servers. Not only that since it isn't a simple plaintext http string so what extra stuff is google sending? We will never know. If you don't care about the "advanced features" AKA pagerank, there are plenty of other toolbar firefox extensions out there and have been for probably more than a year, which makes this non-news. However google does pay slashdot (adwords), so you would expect that they would ask google "how high" when they say jump.
