Re: New level of data-mining
"Don't be evil" doesn't mean "Don't hold back from offering new services and opportunities just because somebody might someday use them for evil purposes."
Such an approach ("don't do anything anybody might not like at some time in the future") would have prevented the introduction of the automobile, telephone, photography, etc.
All this hand-wringing over Google reminds me of the early days of the Caller ID debates--where people thought it was a violation of the caller's privacy if someone could know who was calling before picking up the phone--ignoring the privacy rights of the person being called. Sheesh.
If you don't like it, don't use it. But don't keep me from using it just so your paranoia holds me back too.
