What makes you think that stops google logging what you're doing? They explicitly reserve the right to continue to do so.
Are you worried that Google knows nothing about you? :)
Does this mean Google knows what we are looking at?
Do not think Google mhas anything to worry about. They can just tie ads to the content instead of the person. Plus search does not require other data as ads are associated with what you are searching.
You do realise Google doesn't use this data to target ads, right? Nor do you need an account.
The comments here seem to be overwhelmingly positive, but if I were to use this routinely doesn't it mean that not just my search information but also my financial information is available to Google to analyze and/or sell to advertisers or make available via backdoor APIs?. Google already has a lot of information about a lot of people.
Google is doing all of this, but not publicly. Through Google accounts, Google+ and even just search cookies, Google has most of the same or similar information, but their goal isn't to provide it to you in a data analysis, but to use it for ad targeting.
You're still tracked if you don't use Google products.
all google apps tracks you, even using google news does not help
The chances are, geotracking or not google knows a lot about you and this just adds on to the data.
