I’d be curious if Google, once allowed to “know” a conservative, will keep throwing liberal results in their face (or even get worse about it), or whether it will start accommodating that conservative’s preferences, bringing up FR and Rush Limbaugh and the like first.

Someone reported that Google tries to get so clever that even if you come in cookieless and don’t log in to any Google service, it looks at your IP address. This of course jumbles things around if you use temporary IP addresses from an ISP. Also 192.168.whatever.whatever is common as a local IP address and might also have an interesting Google “dossier.”

192.168.0.0 is the Class C private network and “shouldn’t” be visible to the public internet. The address of the connection to the ISP would be the only thing of value, I would think.
