Instead of making baseless statements, why not try some research first.

The other part you don't seem to get is that they deliberately violate their own privacy policy by doing this.

Maybe you are the one who needs to do some research?

Why should I have to turn it off? I never turned it on in the first place.

Is yours turned on?

Yes it is. Are you even using 12.10?

Most hyped issue ever. Someone tell me what exactly they're typing into the dash that's so private.

I don't know about you guys but I don't type in my credit card info or sexually deviant confessions to my dash. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

I am presently seriously reconsidering my use of ANY Ubuntu. I am reticent to use software produced by people who disrespect their users in this manner, freely engaging in the redistribution of P-II in violation of their own privacy policy with zero regard to their users or customers in the quest for easy advertising revenue.

So don't. Sounds like you're having a serious fit about this and I'd say the simplest solution is to use another distro rather than, oh I don't know, think critically about the situation or take a pill.

With that, I thinks it's time to close this thread before it degenerates into something else. Thread Closed.
