About goggle using DC: it´s not so new, there was some talking about that a few months ago in other boards.
I remember there was some discussion about privacy. Google Compute adheres to Google´s Toolbar privacy policy, and this one itself is not very clear.
If you install the toolbar, Google tries to install a 30 year cookie at (in, on,?) your machine (yes, 30 years); this cookie stores all the searches you do using google. What do they do with that info? nobody knows, but google says that their TOS authorize them to collect that info. Something similar probably happens to those installing DC.
