Doesn't Google scare the hell out of you?

I never liked it to begin with and tried aj.com and anything else to search. I’ve since succumbed, inevitably. I just didn’t like the idea that they blatantly state they are not only saving every search, but will use it as well to further send you “appropriate” ads and such. For now.

I also didn’t like that the person after you could see your recent searches (I know there are “privacy” settings – b.s. by the way, but sometimes you are on someone else’s computer, and sometimes you don’t erase.)

Now – it seems to not only save your searches, but I was copy/pasting something here in fluther, and when I went to search something – it “suggested” what I had just copied. In other words – it’s literally following, and perhaps saving, your every word and move on the PC.

Big Brother or paranoia? Your call. Your thoughts?
