Things Google knows about you

  • Things Google knows about you.
    • Everything you search for using Google
    • Every web page you visit that has Google Adsense ads on it
    • Which country you're in
    • Every Blogger page you visit, and the referring page
  • If you have an Adsense account
    • Your full name, address and bank account details
    • The IP address of everyone who visits your pages with Adsense ads on them
    • The number of visitors to each of your pages with Adsense ads on them
  • If you use a GMail account
    • Who you send emails to
    • Who sends emails to you
    • The contents of those emails
    • The contents of all emails received from any mailing lists of which you are a member, even if they are private mailing lists.
  • Even if you don't use a GMail account
    • The contents of any emails you send to anyone who does use a GMail account
    • The contents of any emails you send to any mailing lists of which any one member uses a GMail account

VirtualPC 2004 Service Pack 1, DirectX 9c October Edition

A quick note to those who have VirtualPC 2004 installed, Microsoft just released Service Pack 1 for VPC... remember to shutdown all guest operating systems that have saved state because they wont carry through in SP1 before installing...

Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1 (SP1) contains the latest software updates for Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 that improve the reliability, performance and manageability of Virtual PC. Updates have been made to improve the performance of Windows XP Service Pack 2 as a guest in Virtual PC, to improve the manageability of virtual machines when used with SMS 2003 Service Pack 1, and to provide support for running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition as the host operating system.

Some of the fixes included with SP1 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.
