The issue that MS is pointing out is that because Chrome combines the address bar and the search box, when you start typing hotmidgetoatmealpor, that information is sent directly to Google so they can do auto-completion/auto-searching. Where it is associated with you. And saved. Forever.
When you go to the privacy options in Chrome, there's a link to more information about privacy options. There they state that the information that's transmitted for the suggest feature is anonymized within 24 hours. I have no reason not to believe Google, since they haven't betrayed my trust so far. See: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/update-to-google-suggest.html Apparently, the concern was raised, and Google responded by implementing changes to protect your privacy.
Ahh, thank you very much (or "hartelijk bedankt")
OK, I'll probably get funny looks for this, but... here goes anyway
Ahh, long live the openness of Windows, where almost any portable media player can sync with the built in windows media player.
Seriously, in some respects Windows is much more open than MacOS (Linux, of course, is more open across the board).
Actually, there's a few other options... You could go the symbian or android way.
I agree that switching platforms is rarely a pleasant undertaking, but you have to admit that the old PalmOS is a dead end (unless you enjoy running an emulator on the Pre for your legacy apps). I made the switch from my old treo 650, which was falling apart due to old age, to android (HTC Hero is available now, Palm Pre around the end of the year) and I'm (mostly) quite happy with it.
