I mean, sure, like everyone else, I am concerned about one company knowing so much about what I look for on the Web. But that's not what I was talking about. What I actually said to kick off our conversation was that, "Google has a ton of engineers working on stuff--over ten thousand engineers I've been told--and a lot of companies are nervous because they're not quite sure what Google's up to." I think that's a pretty non-controversial statement. Much as I enjoy providing you with the context to shill for the Google machine a bit more ;-) my concerns are entirely distorted.
