I think the author was surprized that users use serche engines to get web addresses for things liek Ebay, Yahoo, or Myspace. Actaully I never ever type an address directly into my browser I always use a serch engine for one reason and one reason only. If you type in a web address directly and say mistype it and hit enter you can end up at a site that might give you a trogan, or some adware that you do not want, or nothing at all maybe even a porn page that was not intended. No I never risk typing in an web address I always use serch engines to ensure I'm getting the right page.
Gee the same people that rat out dissident journalists and hand over your email to the government lie in their lists to make money I am shocked.
who's deciding what is porn and what isn't? scary.
Yahoo is really weird. If you try to start a group there you can't say words like sex, porn, etc. But there are tons of groups with porn content. Wacky..
I thought it said search engines were now offering "Exercise Porn." I dunno, maybe naked aerobics or something.
Just another way to get all steamed up, I s'pose.
