From the article: "Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said, "Google will remain a place where you can do anonymous searches. We're very committed to having you have control over the information we have about you. So, for example, if you want to continue to use Google and don't log in, and don't tell us who you are, that will continue to be true forever." Mr. Schmidt's statement would remain true for people who aren't logged into a Gmail, Google+, YouTube, Android phone or any other Google account. But as Google's services become more ubiquitous and deeply linked, it could become more difficult for users to take Google up on that promise of anonymity."
