I recently visited friends in Germany and was introduced to a friend of theirs who is a computer consultant and self-styled "expert". During the conversation, I remarked that Google is a pretty good search engine, to which the "computer expert" replied, "Not so good. Too much spam.". Puzzled, I asked him what he meant by too much spam. He told me that if you use Google, it causes you to receive more spam. This is the first time that I have ever heard that, but I am far from being an "expert". So, have I learned something new about Google or, is this guy an "expert" in name only?
Well, he's a legend in his own mind, and that mind is on a different planet.
No.
I've got google set as my default search engine and use it probably between 20 and 75 times daily. I've used Google preferentially since I found out about it a few years back.
Since yesterday I've gotten 12 messages filtered into my spam folder, none appeared in my inbox, so all of them got caught.
That's a pretty low number for if using Google increased your spam.
What I want is the neural interface to Google so it can replace my 'mind like a steel trap...a rusty, bent and broken steel trap' memory. ;-)
