Accelerating a PR Fiasco?

Google is an amazing search engine, so it hurts me to start hatin' on them, though it does seem to be the popular thing to do these days.

But when they release things like the Google Web Accelerator you've got to wonder, especially with the increasing paranoia that Google is tracking your every online move with things like the Google Toolbar and My Search History.

How does Google Web Accelerator speed up your web surfing experience?

Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic.

This comes hot on the heels of Google's recent patent application, which discussed using things like the cookies and cached pages on a user's browser to determine the popularity of web pages.

Okay, that's enough bagging on Google. Seriously, I love 'em, and use 'em for 90% of my searches. They're almost like a Big Brother to me ;-)
