So what are they going to do about it? Google has stepped up to the pulpit and pledges to do their best to remove spyware from the internet through a new "set of principles we[Google] believe our industry should adopt and we’re sharing them to foster discussion and help solve the problem."

Lets keep things in perspective - Google is the very company that:

 * proposed to analyse private emails that were originally meant to be stored forever

 * runs what appears to be the biggest data mining operation on the web with every click logged using persistent cookies for unknown purposes

* runs search toolbar that sends other-than-Google browsing data back to Google, albeit in a less than usual spyware manner

Is spyware bad? Most certainly! But is Google the kind of company that is 100% clean in that respect? I am not convinced that the case.
