my absolute favorite comic rag as a kid, the hollywood movie - notsomuch. I loved Ghost Rider, got me through some tough pre-adolescent times. So reading this is sad and frustrating on a personal level as well as from a copyright point of view.

So, in effect, Google could use data they collected on YouTube to improve and customize the users’ YouTube experience, but couldn’t use the data to customize and improve user experience on, say, Google+."
