Google Was DOWN

[Asher]

panag...

If you're referring to the Google Toolbar, it makes it very clear that when you enable certain features it sends and retrieves data from the Google site (PageRank, etc).

It's not necessarily spyware because, well, you NEED to contact Google to get that info if you have them turned on.

Of course, rather than scaring people and being rather obtuse about it, you could have just told them if they were concerned about it, they could disable the features clearly labelled as sending data to/from Google in the Google Toolbar prefs...

Okay, panag

Google Toolbar is not required to do a search, however
