How to see everything you’ve ever Googled (if you’re so brave)
(From Wash Post)
Quote: You probably don’t remember what you Googled 10 minutes ago, let alone the myriad inane and fleeting things you’ve searched since the engine’s beginnings.
But unless you’re browsing in incognito mode or have tweaked your account settings, Google remembers those things. Not only that: Google logs all of your searches, analyzes them, and uses them to individually personalize the search results you see — which has pretty profound implications for both literacy and privacy.

I do not know if I like this sort of thing. Are all CEans comfortable with this sort of datamining, if that is what it is?
