The greatest issue seems to come with the capacity to reveal and search multiple computers with one account. Quite simply, you might use one desktop search account to search, list and allow you to share files between your notebook and desktop for instance. But are these concerns grounded in truth? Is there really a privacy problem here? I do... There has been a lot of talk recently about Google Talk and how there are serious privacy issues with-the new software. The greatest issue appears to come with the ability to share and search multiple computers with one account. In other words, you can use one desktop search account to search, index and enable you to share files between your laptop and desktop for example. But are these problems grounded in truth? Is there a truly privacy problem here? Last week I downloaded and installed the brand new Desktop Search beta. It's some interesting new features such as the capability to remove cells from the dock and sidebar them anywhere you want in your desktop. And there are several more cells offered to let you do such a thing from control what is indexed, to passing time by winning contests. One of the features is its capability to reach beyond the desktop it is onto do a variety of things. Now, I could play tic-tac toe with co-workers, or even friends all over the world. But the greatest, and most painful upgrade to some is the capability to remotely index files, as well as share them using Google hosts to temporarily store the items. By turning this feature on you give Google the proper to store your documents for 30 days. Therein lies the heart of the issue there seems to be no way around this thirty day need. All I have to mention is 'what exactly'? So what if you've to give Google this capacity? Google can secure the info so that nobody else can access it. And even when there is some sort of DOJ subpoena requiring use of these documents I do not think it'd stand up in court. The reason being Google has put up a system where all your Google actions are linked with one Google account. Your personalized home page, gmail, google adwords, stats and adsense accounts all share the same Google account. Consequently, it'd be hard for anybody to get a subpoena to examine data regarding only part of that account. Legalities aside, if you are that concerned with the privacy being surrendered to Google in order to utilize this process then don't sign up for it. You can still acquire and use the new Desktop Search with nearly all of its new features, but you do not need to use the file sharing. But what if you intend to share files between computers? Well, do what I did so go to your chosen electronics shop and purchase a thumb drive. I just bought a USB flash drive with over 2 gigs of storage for less than 100. Now I can easily move anything between any computer with no fear of some government agency wondering what is about it. As I explained, I do have the brand new Google Desktop fitted, and I did go through the options for the search and file sharing, but I did not turn them on. I have no need to help you to locate my home computer from work and vice-versa, nor do I need to share with you files between the two computers. And if I did, I will just make use of the FTP site I have put up on the computer at home or even the aforementioned thumb drive. Actually, as it pertains to all the other ways that Google captures your personal data, from search history to Gmail, must we be all that concerned that some documents might turn out to be stored on the Google machine somewhere? I think we must have other concerns. For example, I think we must be anxious about what Google already knows about us via these companies I mentioned early in the day. I believe business owners ought to be concerned that this type of service allows employees to simply steal and transfer data to and from work. I do believe 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 should have any Internet accounts because quite honestly most people are a target for that DOJ. More, I could almost guarantee you that your local ISP will fold and hand over the data easier than Google will. Therefore before you start worrying about how Google might infringe your privacy, remember that YOU have the ability to stop it from happening. It's just a matter of choosing to do so..
