The greatest issue appears to come with the capability to discuss and search numerous computers with one account. Quite simply, you could use an individual desktop search account to search, list and enable you to share files between your laptop and desktop like. But are these problems grounded in fact? Is there really a privacy issue here? I do... There has been lots of talk lately about Google Talk and how there are significant privacy concerns with the new software. The largest problem seems to come with the capability to search and reveal multiple computers with one account. In other words, you can use an individual desktop search account to search, index and enable you to share files between your desktop and laptop like. But are these concerns grounded in reality? Is there really a privacy issue here? Last week I downloaded and installed the brand new Desk-top Search beta. It's some interesting new features including the capability to remove panels from the dock and sidebar them anywhere you want on your own desktop. And there are numerous more cells available to let you do anything from handle what's listed, to passing time by winning contests. One of the greatest features is its ability to reach beyond the desk-top it's onto perform a variety of things. Now, I can play tic tac toe with co-workers, and on occasion even friends around the world. But the most painful, and largest upgrade to some is the capability to remotely index files, together with discuss them using Google machines to temporarily store the things. By turning this feature you give the right to Google to keep your documents for approximately 30 days. Therein lies the core of the problem there is apparently no way for this thirty day requirement. All I have to mention is 'just what exactly'? So imagine if you have to offer Google this ability? Google can encrypt the data so that nobody else can access it. And even when there is some type of DOJ subpoena needing use of these files I do not think it'd operate in court. It is because Google has put in place a system whereby your entire Google actions are linked with one Google account. Your personalized webpage, gmail, google adwords, stats and adsense records all share the same Google account. Therefore, it would be hard for anyone to get a subpoena to review information related to only part of that account. Legalities apart, if you are that worried about the privacy being surrendered to Google in order to utilize this system then don't sign up for it. You can still acquire and use the new Desk-top Search with nearly all of its new functions, but you do not need to use the file-sharing. But what if you would like to share files between computers? Well, do what I did go to your preferred electronics store and purchase a flash drive. I just bought a USB thumb drive with over 2 gigs of storage for under 100. Now I can quickly transfer anything between any computer with no worry of some government agency curious about what is onto it. I do have the new Google Desktop mounted, as I explained, and I did consider the controls for the search and file sharing, but I didn't turn them on. I've no need to be able to locate my family computer from work and vice-versa, nor do I need to share files between the two computers. And if I did, I'll simply make use of the FTP site I have setup on the computer in the home or the aforementioned flash drive. Actually, in regards to all the different ways that Google captures your own personal data, from search history to Gmail, should we be all that concerned that some files may become located on the Google machine anywhere? I think we ought to have other issues. Like, I think we ought to be concerned about what Google already knows about us via these companies I mentioned ear-lier. I think companies must be concerned that this kind of service would allow workers to quickly take and transfer data to and from work. I believe you shouldn't have a account if you are that scared of-the US government infringing on your privacy then, nor Google Desktop Search nor a Gmail account. In reality I do not think you should have any Internet reports because quite honestly many people are a goal for your DOJ. Further, I can almost guarantee you that your local ISP will collapse and hand over the info much easier than Google will. To get alternative ways to look at it, please consider glancing at site preview. So before you start complaining about how Google can infringe your privacy, understand that YOU have the ability to stop it from happening. It's only a matter-of choosing to do this..
