Also, 'more data = evil'. I don't see that very justified. And of course, they are not sending all that you are looking at to their servers. That is practically impossible right now.

To the second: Its not that more data=evil, it's that 'evil' has broader access to you, your habits and potentially your kids and their habits, etc. I do not trust google all that much (I say this with a gmail account I use for work). It's not that I don't trust them, its that the data is powerful and can easily be used for unsavory activities. Also, practically impossible was an iPhone in 2003, but a mere 4 years later there it was. That Moore's law is really something.
