    Just a heads up: this was actually posted 'yesterday', but people are still able to do it so if you want to try and get in quick.

    From Slashdot:
    EFF website with instructions on how to do it:
    https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/...oogles-new-privacy-policy-takes-effect#update

    A note from EFF:
    Google site to check your web history settings:
    https://www.google.com/history



    Some people are finding they never enabled it, others are finding their entire search history going back five or six years. So just a heads up for those that want to check their current setting or don't want search history consolidated across any other Google services.

    not erasing it, I've got nothing to hide. Plus it's cool to trace back what you searched for 2 years ago.
