I remember walking into a shop many years ago that had a sign behind the counter "Employ a teenager while they still know everything."
I'm sure the Gnome's gaffer has the same one in his office. ;D ;D

Google are probably the worse for this - check the expiration date on their cookie ::) - despite demands for them to reduce it for the past dozen years or so, its remained stubbornly where it is...
And with full access to your search, email, documents and phone (should you be daft enough to use Android), they can do some very good tracking :-X

"do no evil" tell that to the chinese dissidents - i agree google are too big to trust now, whether they like it or not, whether they're benign or not, they have far too much access into our lives :o

That idea was in the film 'Minority Report' a few years ago. Only it was from recognising your retina scan / records.
About another ten years and I think it'll be that you won't be able to S**t or go out of your front door to the shops without it being recorded from start to finish.
EMP weapon to stop it all anyone ::)
