in thread [OT]: Google browser(Updated!)

intrusive technology isn't doing more than just boosting googles competitive advantage.

Maybe, but if you follow the US news closely, you will find that ISP's have recently been ruled against by the courts, and are required to provide the governemnt with all logs. (Many ISP's were fighting it on possible invasion of privacy grounds). So Big Brother really dosn't have to go thru google to get info on you, they can get a list of your visited sites directly from the ISPs. So Google is probably just a mercenary in this.....trying to develop statistics to sell ads, and send you custom ads based on your browsing history.

I remember a discussion I heard on it, and I guess they have it setup that all your internet traffic, can be routed thru a government agent's computer, even at his home. It was a court ruling a few years back, that all ISP's had to include this feature in their switching systems. So in all probability, this node is being displayed on some agent's screen, while he/she is sipping their morning coffee, and deciding if you are part of some plot.

Which brings up another "point of paranoia".... the so-called-anonymous-surfing systems......web-anonymizers. Don't you think the governemnt is setting these up with their undercover people, and they watch you as you think you are anonymous? I wouldn't trust them as being anonymous, the government is too tricky and well funded.

    The logs are for cops, the NSA/CIA/FBI... track in realtime.
      track in realtime

      It may have just been coincidence, but just after I posted that node, my access to Perlmonks.org got locked up for 10 minutes. I was getting "waiting for perlmonks" messages, and when the page did show up, it was blank!!

      It's like they sent me a message..... don't talk about their surveillance.

      The first rule of the Spy club, is don't talk about Spy club. :-)
