If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Too bad Tiger Woods didn't primarily use Google Voice.

Wow, it's not that I do things I don't want people to know about so much as I do things that are no one's damn business and I don't care to have ads and other crap catered to me just because one day I googled wood floors and found out it doesn't quite mean textiles. I guess maybe I should stop using Google Chrome.

Yea I'm not happy about Google. Been using Cuil for quite a while. Works for the most part.

I read that article on Slashdot and was amused at one of the comments which asked (very roughly, I forget the exact wording):

When can we see videos of you having sex with your wife then if privacy is not a concern?

such a very good point.

I've been using ixquick for almost all searching for more than a year now. It usually finds what you're looking for and has been awarded for its privacy policy.

Perhaps someone need to do this at his house.

Video that highlights Verizon's lack of privacy.

No but maybe it's better to choose the smaller of two evils.

Theres a few addons like glims but it should be able to have different search providers built in.
