Google posted some interesting news on their blog regarding a new "feature" to their search experience. The idea is, when you search and Google has determined that the first result is likely the one you're looking for, they will pre-fetch that page behind the scenes for you.

This is the sort of reason that I keep my work computer for work only and have my own personal computer for my own personal use. Imagine that you liked to search google for things that your work might not like, er... I don't know what. That job listing on your competitors site, porn, bomb making instructions. Whatever.

Now suppose your setting there at your desk, actually doing your work for once, when Mr. IT manager and Mr. Security Guard come by to escort you out of the building. See, your automatic prefetch thingy was busy downloading that porn for you while you worked and while Mr. IT Manager watched.

The other reason I keep my personal and work computing life separate is because my home computer is a Mac and my work computer is a PC.

Thank's Fark!
