"The Internets"
The comments saying Evernote is obsessive and excessive miss the point; just as Manjoo points out, it's "a search engine for your life."
In 1997, I read a completely forgettable opinion article by Cal Thomas in the Omaha World-Herald. Now, I vaguely remember it and want to reread it, not for obsessive reasons, but to remember my 1997 reaction, and how that shows who I was then.
How convenient -- it's on the internet. I don't see how Evernote differs significantly.
And regarding the legal issue, being able to prove one wrote something online or logged into an e-mail account on a certain ISP address would be a strong alibi.
