Well, sorta. He did say he wishes he had kept to gardening and watching TV sports. OK, not really. But he did say this:
Sir Tim said he did not want his ISP to track which websites he visited. "I want to know if I look up a whole lot of books about some form of cancer that that's not going to get to my insurance company and I'm going to find my insurance premium is going to go up by 5% because they've figured I'm looking at those books," he said. He said: "It's mine - you can't have it. If you want to use it for something, then you have to negotiate with me. I have to agree, I have to understand what I'm getting in return."Way to go, Tim. Mr. Future. I'll be renewing my web subscription to "Incredibly Healthy Magazine" today thanks to you. He doesn't seem to like social networking or whatever we used to call it either:
"Imagine that everything you are typing is being read by the person you are applying to for your first job. Imagine that it's all going to be seen by your parents and your grandparents and your grandchildren as well."Jeesh. You made this thing, Tim, and now you're telling us you don't even like the archiving features? What else? Maybe I should get out and play? Join a service club to meet people? Get me to the mall.

I'm with Tim. It took me 7 months to delete or have removed most of the embarassing "I'm 30 and stupid, I'll sign on this cool site!" crap that referenced my name, real and not real. Luckuliy for me, there are a number of people that share my name that I can blame things on.
As far as the social networking sites go, I have had my fill, but how do I politely tell 177 people that I want to go back to not really knowing 150 of them anymore and I want them to stay as thin, attractive, witty and young memories.
As far as hiding ones archiving goes, hooray for anonymizers.
