I have no idea if he's been using Gmail since the launch three years ago. Sorry.

Google does some other creepy shit too, like log all your search terms, keep an archive of all the newsgroups (you remember newsgroups, right?)

Wait, you mean that Google isn’t spending huge amounts of money providing free e-mail to people just to get a warm fuzzy feeling? *GASP*

Now if Google were to buy a bunch of “dark fiber”, and start routing internet traffic, they’d get an even better idea of what everyone was doing on teh interw3bz.
