Did Google just detect my Windows clipboard's contents?
OK, this is ultra creepy. I had just highlighted the Latin phrase below and opened up http://translate.google.com -- a website I love, by the way -- in order to verify someone's translation. No offense, "someone." But, looky here, Google had already apparently detected what was in my "clipboard" (things you copy temporarily in order to paste later). You can see on the left option in the screenshot below that it's already set to Lain. I hadn't changed that myself. I don't typically translate from the Latin. So, I guess the moral is, don't have anything even temporarily in your computer memory that you don't want Google to know about.
