Google: Oops…our Street View cars also saw websites you were visiting

Google today said it will stop collecting Wi-Fi network data from its Street View cars, after an investigation from the German Data Protection Authority (DPA) found the search company was also collecting data about websites people were visiting on public hotspots.
As you may know, I had blogged about EcoFont. Well, there is a even better eco font and it comes with Windows.

You could be among them, but don’t delay.
Months of hype built up your expectations — like one of those Internet romances. There’s what you imagined the iPad to be, and now there is the reality. Can you annul this sorry relationship? Yes, within 14 days of purchase and by coughing up a 10-percent restocking fee.

This “warning” appears on a Geek Squad sales info folder. Over the past year, a number of you have been telling us that, due to “pre-optimization” of computers, it’s difficult — sometimes impossible — to walk into a Best Buy and leave with the advertised deal (in effect, you would be paying a $39.99 surcharge over the computer’s advertised price). We decided to look into your complaints. We sent the Consumer Reports secret shoppers to 18 different Best Buys in 11 states, and one of our shoppers was denied the price advertised for a specific model because only pre-optimized computers were available. When the Consumer Reports engineers compared three “optimized” computers to ones with default factory settings, there was no performance improvement. In one case, an optimized laptop actually performed 32% worse than the factory model.
Clearly choosing the path of minimum compromise, the US Federal Trade Commission this morning voted to press antitrust charges against Intel, in an action that now parallels The EC’s charges: Did Intel really threaten Dell if it shifted toward AMD?” that of the European Commission, as well as ”New York: Intel’s agreements to lower CPU prices led to overcharges” the state of New York.
I am soo glad I saved money and bought AMD. And also help them stay in business. Why can’t we all play fair?
