[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1805161, member: 110816"] No, Google does NOT search inside your Mac for anything. What is definitely tracked is what you are searching for and your location. This is the data that is useful to people who want to sell you stuff and as such can target you with ads. The more specific the information, the more the ads costs and the more money Google makes. It is NO secret that Google was built on selling ads, and that's the reason that you can use the bulk of their services for free. Do you know that GMail tracks EVERY email you get for content and then shows your ads based on your email content? That's part of the agreement you sign when you choose to open a GMail account. Don't like it? Don't use GMail. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Politics is inherently a polarizing thing, so search for that content and you will get stuff that either you agree with or is totally the opposite of you. But if you are searching for non-political stuff then I hardly believe that you will get random politically slanted search results. [/QUOTE]
