Heh. I guess I'd worry, if they got to "CIA" quality. Where they can read the newspaper you're holding in the back yard.

But then again, most of the snoopy types would probably be looking at the swimming pools and saunas.

You know, you're probably right Mondine. The last time I checked it was supposedly getting within three feet in my area. That's a bit too close for my liking already. The information Google is amassing, along with many of their other technologies, I hope and pray they will only use it for the good in the future. Power tends to freak out even the good folks at times.

Yeah, you never know. Maybe one day a 'targetted ad' will be a picture
of you going out to pick up the paper on the porch that morning,
with the line: "You've got a rip in the back of your underwear".

And a link for "Fruit of the Loom".

Site-Flavored Google Search Box and Google Web Accelerator look really interesting.

Yea, I have used a custom google search on my www.equinespirit.cjb.net web site. I have messed with the site flavored search on my www.linuxuser.cjb.net and I use the Webaccelerator all the time on my cable internet.

Really? I thought they cancelled the Accelerator due to caching issues. You can continue using it if you already have it, but if you try to get it now, you can't:

Thank you for your
interest in Google Web Accelerator.
We have currently reached our
maximum capacity of users and
are actively working to increase
the number of users we can support.

I must have gotten it before that. Last I checked it was still for download from:

http://webaccelerator.google.com/

I use Firefox or Mozilla Browser when I look at it. Mabee that makes a difference. Doubt it though.

Nope, it isn't available for download, regardless of web browser.

Yep downloads for both in Firefox and IE!
