Question About Privacy and missing Privacy under Settings

[Steve Ovens]

Ali,
Its not a rumor, the Unity interface submits all of what you type into
Unity Search to Amazon. This returns both local results and advertising.
Say you are searching for "Life is a Highway" looking for a song in your
library. It will return those results as well as the results as if you went
to Amazon and did the same search on their website.

A lot of users see this as "malware" or spyware. It has caused quite the
stir. As per my previous email, Gnome does not have this function therefore
does not require these privacy settings
