Just had to post a note to say how impressed I am with this site. I only discovered it a few days ago and I have to confess that I am a TOTAL non-starter with computers...but very keen and willing to learn! :D I have asked for - and received - prompt help in partitioning my hard drive although I decided after sucessfully doing it, to go back to normal coz other stuff confused me! Still, I am upgrading to a faster processor and bigger hard drive in the very near future so will be carrying out the procedure again (I hope) Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support and I will be recommending the site to all my friends - peachyglint1

Search engine Ask has launched a feature that it hopes will prove a selling point for consumers concerned about their online privacy.
AskEraser allows users to immediately delete search queries stored on Ask's servers, in contrast to rivals such as Google which stores data for 18 months.
How personal data is used is becoming more of an issue as people live more of their lives via search engines.
Some are concerned about possible deals between search engines and ad firms.
In America consumer advocacy groups have expressed doubts about a proposed merger between Google and ad-serving company DoubleClick, which is currently being reviewed by US regulators.
