I saw this ACLU-produced video the other day and had to share it. It is guaranteed to make you giggle uncomfortably, look around the room awkwardly, and squirm in your seat. Promise.

Leave it to Google to add an eerie dimension even the above video didn’t think to include: “We’re tracking your every step…literally.

Imagine connecting to the internet via your mobile device while you are walking down a city street and the first thing that pops up is an ad for a sale at the store immediately to your left. Oh, man.

Drop your Blackberry; head for the hills.
