    They should fix it. According to that Gizmodo article, Microsoft at least offers similar services without permanently capturing so much info.

    On the other hand, if you want to be paranoid, there is plenty of ammunition out there. Google tracks everything you ever searched for and has access to all your e-mail along with a fair amount of personal data. Ad companies have tracking cookies (often hidden as Flash LSOs that can't be easily located or deleted) embedded on almost everyone's machines. The government has the legal right to access any of your online communications without a warrant under the guise of fighting terrorism.

    What does it all amount to? Probably nothing, because no one gives a shit about you personally. But if you want to be paranoid about privacy, plenty of stuff to freak out about.
