Thoughts: Sure, Google is trying to harvest information, but that's the aim of any advertising company. Advertising brings in the dollars, so why wouldn't they try to collect as much information about the people they advertise to? It allows for better targetting. Better targetting, more cash money.
This video tries to portray Google as evil. There's no good or evil about this, it's business. Google's not evil, it's just successful.
If you don't want your information harvested, don't go on the internet. It's not just Google, any online advertising industry will do this–it just so happens that Google's been the best at it.
So, what the hell, I'm gunna use its programs. Chrome is the best browser out there, google docs is great, blogger's not bad. As far as I'm concerned, if Google wants to take over the internet, so be it. I'd rather it be Google than MSN or Yahoo.
