Google listening to your coffee shop conversation is just the beginning. Soon she'll start going through your wallet when you're not around. You still won't get upset though because -you know- it's just Google. And it's not like you were hiding anything anyway. By the time you realize she was reading your email the whole time you were together you'll be too old to find another search engine.
The difference is that we trust Google. They promised us not to be evil. They control the flow of our information. We have a certain expectation that they will not use our personal information for some nefarious purpose. And when they do they should (in my opinion) be held accountable for it.

The situation will not be rectified until the ass responsible for this is wiped out.
Who cares which ad network serves their ads? I don't. I do however care about privacy. Just saying.
Out of my underpants. Thanks and good night.
All that goldfarming has to stop.
99.99% of usenet traffic is pirated movies/music. You sound like a retard.
Depends on context. Cockroach phobia can be disabling in NYC. And agoraphobia can be healthy in New Jersey.
You're right, that one should have been offtopic. *This* one should be redundant.

Agreed, root kiting is a nightmare. I expect superusers to have the balls to engage me in melee directly.
Microsoft has fanboys? Mayhaps you refer to the boys Ballmer employs to keep him cool on a hot afternoon.
MS actually came out with something like this years ago before google did. They had search before google too.
And don't be such a kiss ass.
um.. they're shaped like a stop sign?
What if someone bumps my computer? It could fall out and the links would break.
