George Orwell would have loved this for a book title.
GOOGLE!
The most ironic thing when it comes down to the name 'Google' is none of the two founders/business partners who created it ever wanted 'in-your-face' ads.. It was their main agenda if you like not to force adverts into the face of folk..
yet, here we stand, as John so rightfully stated, in a world almost impossible to avoid the so-called brand.
Don't get me wrong guys, I am definitely pro-google, My sites would be nothing without the all-mighty powerhouse that is Google. I will forever take my hat of to the internet greats that make most of what we have now and make it all possible. Tracking isn't always a bad thing, it's how the info is used against us that turns things sour.
Providing you don't do anything wrong, where is the harm towards one-self?
Like I always say. You shouldn't be ashamed of what you are doing, otherwise you shouldn't be doing it.
It's a good thing that these kind of technologies were not available in the dark ages.

Its got nothing to do with being ashamed of what you are doing. Its about our privacy. As it says in the google toilet vid "this is my life, my PRIVATE life"
z3r010 saidi ts almost impossible to be google free and that is a horrible situation that we all now face. However we can minimize the amount of information they have on us by avoiding all of their products.

This is hiprocracy at its finest. I assume then youl be using Bing. Have you thought about how they handle your data? Also I assume youl be uninstalling Google Chrome from your computer since it tracks your usage.
Bing has a much better privacy policy than google: Mozilla exec urges Firefox users ditch Google for Bing
I also dislike the skyware type tracking in Google Crome so I use SRWare Iron built from Crome but without the tracking SRWare Iron - The Browser of the Future
