---- Ask.com 'eraser' to scrub search requests

Haha this is funny, for one thing they don't "erase" they just say they don't save the info. Also there seems little point if the info is not stored by Ask but, it IS stored by Google, when Google is the one company everyone is talking about when it comes to search privacy! Oh, and let me guess, referer data is still sent, and as the whole thing isn't over https it's not secure anyway.

So who are they trying to attract?! Web-savvy privacy advocates will think it's junk, clueless users will get hoodwinked or will ignore Ask and just use Google instead (because they don't care about their privacy enough to switch).
