Q: Does Google collect and record people's search terms whether they're logged in or not?
Yes. Google confirmed this week that it keeps and collates these results, which means the company can be forced to divulge them under court order. Whether Google does anything else with them is another issue.
Given the Department of Justice's recent subpoena to Google, it's likely the police or even lawyers in civil cases--divorce attorneys, employers in severance disputes--eventually will demand that Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, and other search engines cough up users' search histories.
What is Search Across Computers?
The latest version of Google Desktop provides a Search Across Computers feature. This feature will allow you to search your home computer from your work computer, for example. To enable Google Desktop's Search Across Computers feature, you'll need a Google account. For more information on creating a Google account, please visit:
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/
To enable search across computers for your computer, please follow the instructions below for each computer:
1. From the Google Desktop homepage, click "Desktop Preferences," and click the "Gmail and Search Across Computers" link.
2. Check the box next to the feature "Search documents and web pages I’ve seen on any of my computers from any of my other computers."
3. Under "Google Account," enter your full Google Account username and password and click “OK.”
4. Your unique computer name should appear in the "Name this computer" field. Your search results will display this name on other computers, and you'll be able to search for results using this name.
5. Select the radio button next to what type of files you'd like to make available to other computers, and click "Save Preferences" to apply the settings.
Don't forget to use the same Google account on all computers you'd like to access remotely, and use a unique computer name for each computer.
After you've successfully enabled Search Across Computers, your web history and cached documents will automatically become available on other computers within a few hours.
Is Safari a MAC based browser only? Any comparable PC browsers that have private browsing and are comparable?SugarMedia said:Well, I'm not worried about my collection of Midget Porn being discovered, I use Safari's browser.
The lastest version enables you to choose, 'Private browsing' which makes webpages not add to the history, items are automatically removed from the Downloads window, information isn't saved for AutoFill (including names and passwords), and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search box.

socialxray said:I use Firefox and it is a great browser. While it does not have a one click privacy mode, this can easily be set up that way plus it will delete your personal data from its cookies when you exit the program.
The browser is beside the point though. Just remember when you pass information to many websites, that information is retained.
Accessibility
Firefox 1.5 delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud. Users may navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such as spreadsheets. Firefox 1.5 (Windows version) is also the first browser to meet US federal government requirements that software be easily accessible to users with physical impairments.
