Oops .... quite uncomfortable about this degree of observation.

Google's gonna get sued for this. XD

I find Google a little creepy, period. As I understand it, everything we do on Google is permanently archived. Surely these archives will one day find their way into the hands of people of power who want to knock others out of their way. It has always been that way with secret files in the USA.
