I thought this was all going to be "unobtrusive" and "only if the user searches the net" and is "not an affiliate program" and "not advertising" and all the other platitudes coughed up last month. But don't worry, Mark says we already trust them because "they have root" on our machines. I am sad, but it is not unexpected. I understand the need for revenue for corporations. I guess the fact that a large revenue-oriented corporation makes my operating system again after all these years is what makes me sad.
