- 10goto10, on 10/10/2007, -5/+566I always follow my searches with one of the exact opposite. This way it all balances out, and there won't be any strange peaks in my search terms.
Well, I'm off googling for "cold clothed men" now. - lokee73, on 10/10/2007, -4/+302Guess I shouldn't have been doing all those "violent overthrow of the government" searches...

- MrARPA, on 10/10/2007, -4/+73The IP address is not linked ¨forever¨, Google have recently announced that there will be an 18 month limit after which search records will be anonymised.
- crimsonnblue, on 10/10/2007, -2/+71*****, whats the balanced opposite of "overlord no cd exe patch"

- rudy23, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56yeah each time I need to use google I always head out to a public computer. how convenient.
- ButtonMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -11/+65So Google's creed to 'not be evil' is really truncated from "don't be evil until we can gather enough evidence to bury them'
- dattaway, on 10/10/2007, -0/+47Your neighbor is going to be quite amused when his house gets raided by the FBI. Too bad he doesn't know what an "open wireless network" is...

- implied, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27This wasn't a very funny Chappelle's Show.
- LowRentDiggs, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29You must not have noticed that civil liberties are about gone :(
- dartmanx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28Beats watching Big Brother. I usually try to go to another room and change the channel, but my wife hunts me down and changes the channel back.
- whitmell, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27hey didn't you win a silver medal at Nerd Games '06?
- grungegbunny, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28ask.com claims to not store your info, whether this is true or not I cannot say.
- cogitocogito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23"Google searches can be interpreted many ways, they can not be used as evidence in court against you."
This is completely false. If the judge thinks it's germane to the case, such as to help establish motive or intent, it gets admitted. It doesn't matter that the search itself breaks no law.
For example, if you were searching "how to poison my wife" and then your wife dies of poisoning, you can bet it will be admitted as supporting evidence if they find it (though if that were the prosecution's sole evidence, it probably wouldn't be allowed by a judge) - jeffeb3, on 10/10/2007, -5/+26ummmm, that's two hours long! Why does it start with the Chapelle show?
All I had time to watch was the scary, put you in a mood to watch trailer at the beginning. Almost everything I recognized was taken out of context.
This is total *****. Feeding fear in idiots. - coolian, on 10/10/2007, -20/+39All Your Googles Are Belong To Us.
- tesladoom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19I love how the video downloads from Google.
googlonymous my ass - jmgibson, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21Do you even realize the extremely long list of things that could put you on one of the Governments watch lists? You could just be searching a for a book like 'The Catcher in the Rye' or be doing a school project on Atomic power or the threat of IEDs. You could do searches on child pornography to get results for a research paper, you could do a search a Barrett 50 cal. for a long range hunting expedition, search the affects of marijuana use or just to do a search for blogs the share the same political views as yourself just to see who shares your total disdain for the Bush Administration. You don't have the first clue what will cause you to end up on a no fly list, terrorist watch list or whatever, but I'll tell you this. Let's see if you have that same smug little laugh when you do!
- reed311, on 10/10/2007, -7/+24By "willingly" you mean that when the government issues a subpoena for the information, Google will comply? It is against the law to not comply with a subpoena (unless you're Bush).
- seniorfrito, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19"Google will willingly allow authorities to consult their database."
Don't be so sure. Remember the case where authorities were demanding search entries of anything child pornography related. Many search engines cooperated. Google did not. Don't recall they ever did, but I didn't follow it after the first few weeks. - Sep11insidejob, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18http://www.scroogle.org/scrapen8.html
- Winters, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18And the kicker is that it probably sucks BECAUSE they don't store your information.
- cloudyprison, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15The word is bomb. B O M B
Don't be afraid to use a word, fear of the word only increase the fear of the thing itself. Now get outta my way, I heard You-Know-Who is back. - foleymon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18It's not paranoid if you know there watching
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Ceiling cat is watching you...masturbate.
- subliminalurge, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19Stop it. Now.
- astrofire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15"Nobody cares about your searches"
Were we watching the same documentary? The computer simply collects the information about you in an unthinking, non-malicious manner. It is on record in a database. One of the main POINTS of this documentary was that no human has to care about you to collect this information and aggregate it with other sources, but that as soon as somebody DOES CARE, the information is available to them at that point.
You seem to be advocating that we should expect to protect our privacy through irrelevancy. It doesn't sit well with me. - dylan420, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17I tried really hard the other day to find 'retard sex' of any kind, and it's very difficult. I guess your not supposed to film the mentally handicapped screwing, but how am I gonna get my fix of hot MR girl on MR girl action?
- thinman1189, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Burred for inaccuracy. This was covered by the BBC weeks/months ago. Google was ordered to only store the user data for a certain amount of time, which if I remember correctly is 18months. Although I think it was different dates for different types of data.
Google says they were using the data to make the search engine smarter so that it would be more helpful to people. Unlike other companies that bitch and moan about being regulated, like Microsoft who regularly pays penalties for tardiness with its papers, Google agreed to the terms in a "but we were making something cool...." whine.
No one wants to watch a vid if they can just read it, I have Noscript and Adblock for a reason. Stop trying to make Google look bad because whatever you thought of sucks. - zolaar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
....!!!!
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****! - thinman1189, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Here's an idea, leave your kid alone? If he has half a brain he can get around your blocks so there's really no point in trying. If he wants to watch lesbian porn he's going to watch some ***** lesbian porn.
- subliminalurge, on 10/10/2007, -13/+25"I simply use a public computer at a local college library. They may have security cameras in the lab, but other than that there's no login, no record of users."
What exactly are you searching for that any of this is a concern? - Azarken, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Not only are you an idiot, but you managed to make an idiot of yourself 4 times.
- SealHammer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Lol, I searched bomb, plane, president, white house, and guns.
I wonder if, in a month, I get arrested for terroristic activities by my good ol' USA. - crimsonnblue, on 10/10/2007, -17/+29im in ur googles stealin ur ip's
- astrotrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12and queue the Rockwell Music...
"I always feel like... Google's always watching me... and I have no privacy..." - spectre_25gt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12In Soviet Russia, joke kills you!
- johnhummel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Not only that, but the "will willingly turn over your information" is false. If you recall, during a recent government request for data (I think about a year ago), Google was the only one that actually made the feds go get a warrant before turning over information - same as any librarian would. "Willing" is a bit of a misnomer here.
- uberchaoslord, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15Or more appropriately "don't be evil, unless your current government administration is evil, and they make laws that force you to comply to their evil. Then, in the interest of shareholder's money, comply with said evil law"
- Jrr6415sun, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15"Btw, they also create an alibi. How could you commit X crime if you were googling something at the same time? Usage records can help or hurt anyone."
You're the only one who can search for things on your computer? As an alibi or evidence against you, it will never hold up as evidence in court. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10and that dude uses yahoo
