When we use Google, our Search history is being automatically recorded. If any one wishes to have privacy in his search, is there any way to stop such recording? Yes, Google offers a convenient way of turning off this history: search a sample word in Google and get the results for it. Now click on the gear icon seen on the right top corner of the result page. Then click on the Web History in the list. Sign in on this history page; the displayed page contains all your past web search history. You can either check the box and remove all of them. Or you can proceed to turn off the history-recording by clicking on the gear icon that is now presented on the corner. Click Settings in the list; then click on the Turn off tab. From now onwards your Search history will not be recorded!
Note that if you had already kept Gmail account signed in, it is easy then for this turning off: the gear icon will be there ready for you by itself for your clicking and that leads you then to turn off Search history!
I had seen in the past an advertisement about a website constantly appearing in all the web pages I viewed. Suddenly that advertisement disappeared and is not seen for the past one year. It is the Megaupload.com advertisement. Now there is news that the founder of that website, Mr. Kim Dotcom has started a new file-sharing website under the name, MEGA.
The Megaupload.com which was also a file-sharing website, was then closed one year back due to an online piracy case filed on it. MEGA is started after one year correct to the date of Megaupload's closure in the previous year - on 20th January 2013.
This new website is said to be legal now and for online privacy. And offering cloud storage with encryption, so that its users only can know what they are uploading.
