[gentoo-user] Google privacy changes

[Dale]

Hi list,

I ran across this news item about Google:

http://alturl.com/s7xi5

The long URL is below.  I'm sort of getting to where I don't like Google
since they seem to be doing things that I'm just not comfy with.  Next
they will want a camera on my rig so they can watch me surf.  I found a
search engine that may work.  It is here:

www.ixquick.com

Does anyone have a better search tool?  I don't like Yahoo either.  I do
like froogle so that would be a bonus.  You know, shopping tool.

Now to my next issue.  I'm thinking about switching emails too.  Yea,
everyone on here knows my addy but I bet most can recognize my posts
anyway. Plus, if the init thingy goes south, well, it happens.  Anyway,
what is a nice stable email account server that allows pop access,
Seamonkey as the email program, that is not tracking everything or nosey
as heck?  Free would be nice but I would pay something inexpensive on a
yearly basis if it is really good.  I think Yahoo has this but ain't
they sort of like Google already?  Plus, I'm not sure how much longer
Yahoo is going to last or make similar changes itself.  I'm sort of
getting tired of switching emails every time I switch ISPs or there is a
policy change.  That is why I switched to gmail in the first place.  No
matter what ISP I use, I can still use Gmail.  Yet, here I am again.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Dale

Long URL just in case the shorty above doesn't work.  It may be broken
tho.   Copy and paste alert.
