    Argh, people. I've been out of work for a while and Google is literally
    like 1/2 Mile from me in Mountain View. But I don't want to work for
    them!

    I get the creeps whenever I am obliged to look at anybody's history list
    in their browser, imagine what drugs you'd need to look at google's logs
    without wanting to slit your wrists.

    And now Microsoft is wanting that power!

    This situation cannot stand people; the actuality of google scares me
    1000 times more than the Patriot act.

    I guess I don't have a question, but if "too much power" scares the hell
    out of you, what are we going to do about this concentration, evenif MS
    doesn't buy it?
