People are really caring about the new Google privacy policy

I was at a dinner party with the Italy group, when someone asked me about the Google privacy policy.

All the other conversations stopped, and people wanted to listen to my answer.  I tried to explain that Google was sharing information between different applications like Apple and Blackberry already do, and that was causing problems for people that are trying, for example, to keep work email separate from a personal calendar.  I do realize now that it's complicated enough that it's hard to explain.

and I need to do more research

I Do know that some people have things in their Web history that they wanted to delete, mine is already turned off.  Is yours turned on?  (Please tell me if it is)
