Would your web search tell on you?

So if someone checked your Web Searches, would it tell on you?

Wife googled 'How to commit murder'

At exactly 5:45:34 on April 18, 2004 a computer taken from the office of the attorney of Melanie McGuire, did a search on the words "How To Commit Murder."

That same day searches on Google and MSN search engines, were conducted on such topics as `instant poisons,` `undetectable poisons,' 'fatal digoxin doses,' and gun laws in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Jennifer Seymour, who worked for the State Police digital technology unit, testified thismorning how she examined the digital contents of computers and hand held devices obtained as part of the investigation.

Her testimony was the strongest evidence yet in the state's circumstantial evidence case against the 34-year-old McGuire, who allegedly murdered her husband with a .38 caliber weapon, dismembered his body and placed body parts in three suitcases found in the Chesapeake Bay in May of 2004.

Mozilla Foundation chairman Mitchell Baker disclosed how much money Mozilla made from their Firefox web browser in 2005: $52.9 million.
2006 wasn't listed but 2003 revenue was $2.4 million and 2004 revenue was $5.8 million. A large part of the revenue comes from the Google search in FireFox and the FF Google start page.

Now that's a nice little open source project..
