From the same story,

Quote:
What strikes me as creepy is that the company’s plans were replayed in a CNET article by Josh Lowensohn. The writer addressed various ways the Google OS could act as a Web Big Brother. Think, “I know where you’ve been, what you’ve done, when you did it, who you did it with, and what you paid for it …”
The more info they have about their users, the more they can capitalize off of them. Good for their business model, but to me it sounds even more invasive than anything I've ever seen for software and cookie tracking on the net.
