Google has admitted that it uses user behavior in determining search engine results. I'm not feeling safe anymore.
Okay. I don't care what my behavior is on the search engines, but few thousand websites can potentially be used by Google to track what I'm doing. Gmail, orkut, blogger and tens of other web moguls(I'm not sure what word to use here, because they're not just websites. For example blogger is a website that websites are built on, so...) are running Google user login system.
And if you have the Google toolbar. Oh god. They are definitely watching you!
And not only that, but they also want to tell you what websites are safe(which I actually wanted Google to do long time ago). According to this
article, Google is crawling the web in search of websites that might contain malicious content.
Well it is more than true if you think for example about the porn sites. Many of them trick people into downloading .exe files(which by the way are not video files if you did not know that). Never download .exe files from unsafe sites. They are mostly spyware or viruses...
Well... I have actually nothing against Google. I liked it for a long time. I's just that I don't like if someone not too honest(and Google is very careful about what they tell the public, plus advertisement is not advertisement, it's actually "sponsored links") has so much power.
I hope they won't achieve the same kind of power in genetics(they are in gene research too by the way). Cause some day Google might control our genes which means they might control us!
