Just curious to know if anyone knows about the LARGE s engine that apparently collects all data on hits, from anyone down to url address. A security guy suggested using other products for queries. Maybe this is common knowledge to all except me.

 

Say what?

 

Well Jim, if I understand you correctly (which i don't think I do), Google collect all this information on any search term ever entered into their search querry. They also know where the querry came from.

 

That's about right.

 

I don't know much about this computer stuff - but I do know this internet thing updates every day. Someone told me that with an upgrade it will update all the time.

 

the internet....that thing still around?

 

If google wants to collect how many times I search for pictures of naked women then all the power to them!

 

Don't worry, Omar still holds the record for those types of searches.

 

I find that a tinfoil hat helps - at least they can't intercept your thoughts.

 

I took a Internet marketing course and from that stand point it is fundamental that they do this and use the data to priortize the search results.

... big brother is watching.

 

That's sexist and not very PC.
..Big person is watching. but you can't say "big" either because you risk offending the "omg it's my thyroid, not the twinkies" set.

 

Great Homer quote!

 

Only since the sixties.

 

we can say what we want, but you infidels make great movies

to bring this back on topic a bit:
Jim, are you talking about the predator email program that the CIA was actually ordered to "stop" using back in the late 1990's?

 

Carnivore?
