The biggest problem seems to come with the ability to search and share numerous computers with one account. In other words, you could use just one desktop search account to search, list and enable you to share files between your desktop and notebook for example. But are these concerns grounded in fact? Is there really a privacy issue here? I do... There has been lots of talk recently about Google Talk and how there are serious privacy concerns with-the new application. The largest problem seems to come with the ability to discuss and search numerous computers with one account. Quite simply, you could use one desktop search account to search, list and allow you to share files between your desktop and laptop like. But are these concerns grounded in truth? Can there be a truly privacy issue here? I downloaded and installed the brand new Desk-top Search beta the other day. It has some interesting new features such as the ability to eliminate panels in the dock and sidebar them anywhere you like on your desktop. And there are numerous more sections open to allow you to do something from handle what's listed, to passing time by winning contests. One of the greatest features is its capability to reach beyond the desk-top it's onto do a number of things. Now, I could play tic-tac toe with co-workers, or even friends all over the world. But the biggest, and most uncomfortable update to some is the ability to remotely index files, in addition to reveal them using Google computers to temporarily store the things. By turning this feature on you give the best to Google to store your files for up to 30-days. Therein lies the crux of the matter there appears to be no way for this thirty day necessity. All I've to mention is 'what exactly'? So what if you have to offer Google this power? Google will encrypt the data to ensure that no one else can access it. And even when there's some type of DOJ subpoena demanding use of these records I do not think it'd remain true in court. The reason being Google has create a community whereby your entire Google activities are tied to one Google account. Your personalized website, gmail, google adwords, stats and ad-sense accounts all share the same Google account. Therefore, it would be hard for anybody to get a subpoena to review information related to only a part of that account. Legalities aside, if you should be that concerned with the privacy being surrendered to Google in order to use this system then don't join it. You can still obtain and use the new Desk-top Search with nearly all of its new characteristics, but you do not have-to use the file sharing. But imagine if you need to share files between computers? Well, do what I did head to your chosen electronics store and buy a thumb drive. I just bought a USB thumb drive with over 2 gigs of storage at under 100. Now I can certainly move anything between any computer without worry of some government agency curious about what is onto it. I do have the brand new Google Desktop mounted, as I said, and I did consider the settings for the search and file-sharing, but I did not turn them on. I've no need to help you to locate my family computer from work and vice-versa, nor do I need to share files between your two computers. And if I did, I will just make use of the FTP site I've set up on the computer at home or the aforementioned thumb drive. Actually, when it comes to all the different ways that Google reflects your individual information, from search history to Gmail, should we be all that concerned that some documents may end up being located on the Google server somewhere? I do believe we must have other issues. For instance, I think we ought to be anxious about what Google already knows about us via those ser-vices I mentioned ear-lier. I believe companies should be concerned that this type of service will allow workers to simply steal and move data to and from work. I think you should not have a account if you're that scared of-the US government infringing on your privacy then, nor Google Desktop Search nor a Gmail account. In fact I don't think you need to have any Internet records because quite honestly everyone is a target for that DOJ. Further, I can almost guarantee you that your local ISP will collapse and hand over the info much easier than Google will. To explore additional information, we understand people have a glance at site preview. Therefore before you start complaining about how Google could infringe your privacy, remember that YOU have the ability to stop it from happening. It is just a matter of choosing to do this..
