If you're team Microsoft — or just anti-Google in general — you now have your pickings of "Scroogled" gear, a term coined by the Redmond, Calif.-based software company.
The products, which range from hats to T-shirts to mugs, poke fun of Google collecting personal data about its users. The items come just in time for the holiday shopping season.

Adobe Flash Player always tries to load up it’s latest on my computer. If you don’t search carefully in what’s loading and uncheck it, the damned thing will load Chrome on your machine and screw up your IE stuff.
Happened to me twice and I had to go back to MS to find out the removal fix.
I hate Google.
Didn’t “Scroogle” used to be an actual website, where you could search for bargain deals on things, or some such?

Thanks for that info. Adobe Flash Player frequently wants to download on me.
Flash is one of the primary virus vectors (as is java). You MUST update it. Make sure to uncheck the McAfee/Chrome checkbox.

OK, thanks.
The coffee cup with Obamacare is funny, but true. I have called the ACA website helpline several times (don’t ask) and they always say “we recommend using Google Chrome” several times. It is obvious that it is part of their script.
Things that make you go “Hmmmmmmmm”!
Yea and Bing doesn’t data mine your search requests?
Microsoft should focus more on building products that people want to buy. Stuff like this is a hallmark of a desperate company.
Microsoft is a great company and is better than this. This will just get them ridiculed.
Excellent, I just stole that.
