Thank god I dont have to put on my tin-foil hat just yet...
I am in Australia, and use www.google.com.au (it defaults there, and google.com redirects to.com.au also) and it doesnt seem to track my history.
It does track however when I use google.com, maybe the servers mirror later, but at the moment, the instantly available tracking only appears to be done on the 'real' google.com, not google.com.au
It'll be interesting to see how this pans out in the long run. One would imagine that this type of 'bad news' (such as comprimised security) will scare off a whole lot of users, and as a result reduce the overall bandwith power of what they're trying to accomplish.
I wouldnt run a background app if I was aware that there's a legion of spammers out there trying to make exploits.
Just my $0.02
I think this will become more and more common, eventually even replacing CDs eventually. Its like all technology. Cassette tapes gave way to cartridges, to 5 1/2" Disks etc , to CD, and eventually to DVD. Its just common technological progression.
Additional benifits probably include the ability to stream a higher quality cut-scene from the DVD rather than a slower CD drive. Also, obvious storage capacity benifits, the ability to include multiple platform versions on the one disc, and cost.
10 years from now, we'll be questioning why we're moving from DVD to whater-next-format succeeds it.
