I suppose you're right, if the database would only be for that purpose, then I wouldn't mind as much. As for your habits....ye that's normal. I shudder to think of the day Google starts blackmailing or something you for your search habits...
One of my professors last semestor asked us a similar question: "Do you want your DNA to be stored indefinitely on a national database?" To which I said good lord no! I was then asked what I have or might have to hide in the future and I said nothing, merely my privacy and my genetic code. I added as a joke Enjoy the terrorists making bio weapons tailored to your DNA.
I wasn't saying I agreed with the Police, just saying that if you make any sort of joke/threat you will be arrested. Like if I say to my wife "Honey if you don't hurry the fuck up I'm going to kill you!" you will be arrested even if you're not being serious.
I was going to say "is that even legal?" but since it's part of their trade agreement I suppose it was to be expected, but that's still pretty low of the US to block access to the sugar market. Pro tip: sell your sugar to to Europe!

God sake fucking MAFIAA and now it seems the DoJ is also going that way. Wish the US government wasn't so blantantly rife with corruption and bribery

Smart move Microsoft, even if it was due to pressure, not choice. This might entice a few people from Google to Bing. It certainly interests me.
MW2 has only grossed $1bn+, not made that much, since a fortune was spent on the advertising and the game design was also pretty expensive. http://kotaku.com/5449597/the-billion+dollar-video-game-vs-the-billion+dollar-movie
Sounds like a good plan. Everyone who can afford to should just cut trade ties with the US, would make the world so much more interesting.

Frankly this is no different to making a threat against someone's life or any other kind of threat that would entail crime.
