[1] Protect your privacy from Google.

This simple HOWTO will keep Google from logging your search history by routing all Google searches through a proxy.

Why is this necessary or desirable?  Because Google has recently agreed to keep records of all searches by its users.  Google is an awesome, powerful search engine; but should they decide to “turn evil,” and sell your data, they’d have all your searches saved by IP or Gmail username or both.  The kinds of statistical data that could be analyzed here stagger the mind, but all that aside, you can keep them from tracking you by following the above HOWTO (I would echo it here, but the author deserves the credit).
