The article wasn’t that good, and it makes no sense for someone to link here and not to the source. If you didn’t know most of those yes, you probably are as my friend said a n00blet

Sorry, but i do think that google is spyware. It crawled in our college website and took out our pics with our phone numbers and address. and now what more than that when we search our college name in image search it shows are pics at top with complete detail. what do you wanna say about this. is it not spaaming?

Albert, it isn’t about what they sell, it is about what they know that you don’t know they know. And about what other entities (the government) might be able to access them under certain circumstances. If you have the Google toolbar that shows PageRank for pages you surf to, then Google knows the url of EVERY web page you visit. It has to send this info back to Google in order to retrieve the PageRank. A lot of people simply don’t realize this, whether it is opt-in or opt-out.

9 of the 10 things here should be completely obvious to the most noob of noobs, and one of them is just straight up incorrect, and that is #1:

“Cached Links

Google takes a snapshot of each page examined as it crawls the web and caches these as a back-up in case the original page is unavailable. If you click on the “Cached” link, you will see the web page as it looked when we indexed it. The cached content is the content Google uses to judge whether this page is a relevant match for your query.

When the cached page is displayed, it will have a header at the top which serves as a reminder that this is not necessarily the most recent version of the page. Terms that match your query are highlighted on the cached version to make it easier for you to see why your page is relevant.”
