Well, Epsilon is a bit busy right now dealing with the compromise so Epsilon is probably waiting for Citi's check to clear before sending out the notice for Citi that Epsilon was hacked.

Figure out how to get around being called a spammer
Get lot of businesses to pay you for this knowledge
Get hacked.

Absolutely! Let's make it a fair playing field!

I'm more concerned that this is even being touted as something important. You are giving away information every time you search. You are not securing your privacy by searching encrypted, you are just giving Google an edge.

Seriously, how many people do you think are doing man in the middle attacks to find what you are searching for on Google? This is nothing important or major that you are searching encrypted vs. unencrypted.

So we can search using SSL through Google now. So what does this mean? Does it mean that Google will no longer know everything about you? NO. It means that you are helping Google be the only one to know everything about you. You are making your data more valuable to Google as ONLY Google will have your search terms. This in no way means that Google wont' be compiling data on you. That is their job, that is how they make money.

I think this is a great idea! Let's all help Google become more profitable.
