Tech News Update

I stumbled upon this simple meta search engine ‘MyWebSearch‘, well, not quite a meta search engine but nearly close to what I always wanted – one click search it all engine. I wanted to know more about this unique search engine and a search in Wikipedia says this:

MyWay Searchbar, also known as MyWay Speedbar, MyWay Search Assistant, MyWebSearch or MyWeb Searchbar, is a spyware and search toolbar program that allows the user to query Google, Question Jeeves, Yahoo!, and LookSmart search engines. HP and Dell pre-install this software on some of their commercially sold PC. It is also bundled with some versions of Kazaa.

Spyware! Yes, the toolbar comes with Spyware! Why in the world did HP and Dell pre-installed this software?
