There is a point about the Ubuntu OS privacy policy being available somewhere as it doesn't seem to be immediately obvious, but the Privacy Control Panel is exactly the opposite of what the author seems to think it is, being what is currently known as Activity Log Manager actually finding a place in the standard installation. Activity Log Manager controls what Zeitgeist, the subsystem that monitors your activity and converts it into suggested activities and files on the Dash, shows you. The writer either didn't understand that or chose not to. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "Go on Bobby, both barrels"
