Google Is Watching You
So you read last month's "Maximum Google" and use many of its tricks. But did you know that Google keeps track of every search you perform, identifies you with a unique ID, and has links to the U.S. Department of Defense? The people at Google Watch (www.google-watch.org)--who are perhaps justifiably paranoid--think that the preeminent search engine is a privacy time bomb. Whether you agree or not, they make a good point: However terrific, Google isn't the only good search engine. If Google Watch puts the fear of Big Brother in you, give the site's anonymous search proxy a try--it's both handy and safe.
