benny you have yet to show me the evil. My point in cutting edge gives you reason to use their products. And I still do not understand why everyone freaks out about data mining. Do you really think you your self are so important that Google is going to single you out to wrong you? Really? It only takes one known wrong doing to kill them. And if you are so worried about whats being seen, maybe you are doing a bit of evil yourself
