News: How Will Google's New Privacy Policy Affect You?

One of the chief gripes about the change is that Google will "track" you across all of its services. Just to clarify: Google has always stored user data.

Have you noticed how in Google Maps sometimes an address you searched for a year ago will auto-fill in? Well, now one Google application can see what you searched for in another, so if you searched for "Furbies" on Google's homepage (for some freaky reason) and then later went to YouTube, you might see Furbies videos pop up.

That's new. Previously data was compartmentalized between applications. After all Google+ knows your real name, right

The Modesto PC User's Group (MPCUG) was founded in 1982 and in 2007 celebrated its 25th year. The MPCUG provides an opportunity for users of "IBM compatible" computers to meet and share information, expertise and ideas on the subject of computers in relation to our everyday use. 

But most importantly, the MPCUG exists for the sole purpose of users helping each other, thus our motto,  "User Helping User."
