The scary thing is which companies DO give up the info without telling anyone. I mean, all the telcos, all the credit check companies, and all major ISPs have admitted to giving up information recently. That alone should scare anyone.
The thing that really should freak people is thse discount cards the big stores give you for shopping there. Yes, they are tracking those as well. I could dig up an article on that where some lads bought some cold medicine at their local supermarket and then a few plastic buckets on their credit card at wal-mart and the DEA showed up at their house in the following days asking about it. It was on the news about 2 years ago, but that kinda stuff really bothers me.
This google thing is just the next step in the police state.
Of course if you want to piss 'em off all ye need to do is what we here in Ireland do. They have the same cards here. We just go to parties, throw them in a bowl, mix em up, and then hand them out again. Keeps em guessing when they see tampons and beard trimmers showing up on the same card I bet
