The greatest problem seems to come with the capacity to search and discuss multiple computers with one account. In other words, you might use a single desktop search account to search, index and enable you to share files between your notebook and desktop for example. But are these concerns grounded in reality? Can there be a really privacy problem here? I do... There has been lots of talk recently about Google Talk and how there are serious privacy concerns with-the new software. The greatest problem seems to come with the capacity to share and search multiple computers with one account. Put simply, you could use a single desktop search account to search, list and allow you to share files between your laptop and desktop like. But are these issues grounded in fact? Is there a truly privacy problem here? I downloaded and installed the brand new Desk-top Search beta the other day. It's some interesting new features including the capability to remove cells in the dock and sidebar them anywhere you want on your desktop. And there are several more cells offered to allow you to do such a thing from control what is indexed, to passing time by playing games. One of the features is its power to reach beyond the desktop it's to do a variety of things. Now, I will play tic-tac toe with co-workers, if not friends around the globe. But the most uncomfortable, and largest upgrade to some is the ability to remotely index files, in addition to discuss them using Google machines to temporarily store the items. By turning this feature on you give the best to Google to keep your files for up to thirty days. Therein lies the core of the issue there seems to be no way around this thirty day need. All I've to say is 'what exactly'? So imagine if you have to provide Google this ability? Google can secure the data to ensure that no-one else can get access to it. And even when there's some type of DOJ subpoena requiring usage of these records I don't think it'd stand up in court. It is because Google has put in place a network whereby all your Google activities are associated with one Google account. Your personalized website, gmail, google adwords, analytics and ad-sense records all share exactly the same Google account. Consequently, it would be difficult for anybody to acquire a subpoena to review data regarding only part of that account. For different ways to look at this, please consider checking out site preview. Legalities away, in case you are that concerned with the privacy being surrendered to Google in order to use this system then do not subscribe to it. You can still get and use the new Desk-top Search with most of its new characteristics, but you don't need certainly to use the file sharing. But imagine if you wish to share files between computers? Well, do what I did head to your chosen electronics store and purchase a thumb drive. I recently bought a USB thumb drive with more than 2 gigs of storage at under 100. Now I can simply move something between any computer without worry of some government agency wanting to know what's onto it. As I explained, I do have the new Google Desk-top installed, and I did look at the options for the search and file sharing, but I didn't turn them on. I have no need to help you to find 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 utilize the FTP site I've set up on a computer in the home or even the aforementioned thumb drive. Really, in regards to all the alternative methods that Google catches your individual information, from search history to Gmail, should we be all that concerned that some records may end up being stored on the Google server somewhere? I do believe we ought to have other issues. As an example, I think we have to be anxious about what Google already knows about us via these companies I mentioned earlier in the day. I believe business owners must be concerned that this kind of service would allow employees to easily steal and move data to and from work. I do believe if you're that scared of-the US government infringing on your privacy then you should not have a account, nor Google Desktop Search nor a Gmail account. In-fact I do not think you ought to have any Internet accounts because quite honestly everyone is a target for the DOJ. More, I can almost guarantee you that your local ISP will fold and hand over the information easier than Google will. Therefore before you start worrying about how Google could infringe your privacy, do not forget that YOU'VE the ability to stop it from happening. It is merely a matter of choosing to take action..
