Re: Drum roll to stupidity
said by jc100  :And you'd be running a spyware laden toolbar why? Anyone using these toolbars deserve what they get... My god... COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!! It does NOT have spyware on it. Lucky Google won't bother to sue you.
I've used MANY MANY spyware programs and NONE have had google toolbar come up as spyware. hmmmmmmmm. google must be paying them off. |

| It reports the user's web activity data to Google. That's spyware according to some definitions.
It is done with permission, and is removable, and some people therefore exclude it from the "spyware" category, because deception or hard-to-remove is part of their criteria for spyware.
But there is no legal rule forcing anyone to use one definition rather than the other. Both are reasonable. Therefore Google would have no grounds for a suit. Google actually has to insist on a more lenient definition in order to deny that its toolbar is spyware. |

Thanks for the laugh.
What happens when there is no space for the web page? Does something explode? Here is a link to a few toolbars you don't have. I say go for it.
