@roland Aah, no sorry. My bad, the geometa.js does hold references to google.com - I thought you were referring to the Google Analytics stuff since you linked that commit.

Anyway, the google.com stuff only seems to fire if there is a "google loader"? Which requires Google Gears stuff and a window.google variable, which I highly doubt is something a person who avoids Google will have.

But I agree, nothing in core should reference an advertisement spy company.
