Re: [privacy] Google Cache gone?

["Dr. Neal Krawetz" <hf () hackerfactor com>]

Interesting...
Other people have also see the Google cache option suddenly vanish.

Some examples:

  http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2368819

Looks like it's some kind of browser cache/cookie issue.

It looks like I'm not the only person to have stumbled into this.
I just don't know how I stumbled into it...

Maybe it's not a privacy issue.  I'll take this topic offline.
