I just double-checked the thread, I could not see someone mentioning it:
http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you type URLs or queries in the address bar, the letters you type are
sent to Google so the Suggest feature can automatically recommend terms or
URLs you may be looking for. If you choose to share usage statistics with
Google and you accept a suggested query or URL, Google Chrome will send
that information to Google as well. You can disable this feature as
explained here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I read it correctly:
_Every_ time you type into your ('conveniently' combined) URL/search
field, it gets immediately send to Google.
In other words: Google can record your webbrowsing.
And it is the default, not something you enable explicitly.

Well, some consolidation: you _can_ disable it.

Berkeley university is making publicly available webcasts from many of
their courses.
I found this course, CS 61C Machine Structures, to be incredibly good,
and thought I'd share the link:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978500
If you are interested in C-programming, operating systems, assembly/
CPU, memory management etc,
and are not already a guru, this is gold.
(Maybe most people on this list are level 10 gurus, I don't know)

It's worth keeping an eye on, but not to the point of paranoia. Think
of how much bad publicity would be generated if google was discovered to
be secretly collecting data.
