Well, it also has the Google Desktop icon on it, and I'm not sure I can put it anywhere else. That’s why I don’t use the toolbar except to click on it to take me to Google.

It seems this has been written about often enough, but I’ve always missed it. The last article I saw comes from Mashable, where they found that even if you disable the tracking part of the toolbar it still continues to track your movements. Thank you for the information.

Yeah, guess we've always known Google tracked us in some fashion, but dnoi git do they can market to us seems invasive in some fashion. Makes me think about running my cloaking software 24/7, but that slows down my computer; at least it used to slow down my old computer. I might have to give it a try again. :-) JP, good to see you.

For me, power means speed, but it also means if something else comes up that I want to try some day, I'll have the power to run it. It seems that I'm always right up with technology, then suddenly I'm way behind. If some day I can get way ahead, then technology has to catch up with me. For instance, right now, I have enough power so that I can burn CDs and DVDs and still do other things on my computer without worrying about it slowing down or not having enough resources to finish the job. You saw the comment above from my friend saying how other people's computers slow down by running Toolbar (though I think he meant Desktop); it's a problem I've never had with this computer. And yes, it has to be 64-bit, otherwise it wouldn't handle that much RAM properly. Hey, gotta dream big! Here’s the thing, JC.

I assume that would be the 64 bit operating system to be able to use that crazy amount of ram. One of the Core i7's is on sale at tigerdirect today. I'm not sure which one it was, I've already trashed the email. Planning on setting the hard drives in raid for data redundancy and backup? What do you use so much power for? I would be happy with an i5 with 4gigs of ram and everything else basic. I just want a large lcd display. I don't game or animate anymore and just videos and internet and occasional photoshop. Ouch.

And I do delete my Google cookies often, since I use Firefox.

Anything that you are searching for is being anyhow used by Google for further analytics and research. Basically from what IP, what kind of search terms come in can be easily stored and tracked. And who knows what kind of information is being captured by various browsers and IM tools? On top of that numerous spyware that sits on your puter as well..

Last summer I was averaging nearly $100 a month with Adsense, and now it's averaging much lower, yet traffic is still pretty much the same. Has to be somewhere, right?
