Did you know that Google has a record of every single web search your computer's ever made and technically it should be spelt Googol and not Google. That's my useless thought of the day. lol
Yeah, go ogle, for a ogle of results. A ogle is a 1 with a hundred 0's behind it. 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
While it tracks IP as all web servers do, it's main tracking is by a Cookie, that uses a [[GUID]] to identify your computer, as many computers have [[DHCP]] addresses.
Another interesting fact, Larry Page & Sergey Brin the brains behind it all, are worth around 6 Billion each. Theres an interesting documentary on UK BBC2 this Friday 20 Jan, 7pm called ''The World according to Google'', btw.
