I hate the fact that while I am logged in to my Adwords/Adsense account and I do a Google search from the same browser (different tab or window) that my searches show that I am logged in to Google too. What about all of the times I forget to explicitly logout of a Google property? We know they log as much about each search as possible, if they have your login profile too, the searches can be linked to you, your address, email, SSN.
If the Feds succeed with their subpoena Google’s search logs it will make it easy to put together a full search profile for users tracked by their various accounts with Google; Gmail, Adsense, Adwords, Analytics.
Another thing, why does my login to Adwords or Adsense eventually expire (“You must login again to view this page”) but it never seems to with searches.

I updated to OSX 10.4.4 on Sunday and now my IMAP accounts to some servers are broken. Accounts on Dovecot and Courier servers appear to be working but any U of Washington IMAP servers now have their namespaces hosed. I get a list of all of the files in my home directory instead of mail folders under ~/mail/. I have tried repeatedly to delete the accounts and reset with various settings for IMAP Prefix but nothing seems to fix the issue.
All of the affected accounts have been working fine for months. But not after the 10.4.4 update.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
UPDATE
I have set my configuration and additional bundles in Mail.app at least four times today. Sometimes it dies unexpectedly and upon restart much of the settings are reverted to default. My accounts remain but the preferences are reset.
