That's simply not true :). Depending on what you want to achieve (and what's important
in the case of an open source project) there are various tools better suited for the various tasks.

Yeah right :). AOL and others also had privacy policy but user data leak still happened :).
And it's not just about the IP address, but because their services are almost in every page
it's almost like a "live session" upon everything users do: so it's the "connection" of that
information that is problematic, not the list of IP addresses.
Common sense, logic and a little bit of history tells a totally different story than the current
hype and zealotry :).

I'm using more than one search engine, and as I said, it's not just about the IP address.
Personally I don't like monopoly (of any kind).
