My view of the world

Well I see the Google desktop is progressing as expected. In beta 3 they want you to put your data and you browser history on their servers so you can search your desktop from any computer, anywhere. Can you say Keyword search?
You might want to read the google watch blog .
Your surfing habits are worth their weight in anything, and the ability for the Government to check out your habits and your data…priceless.
Not to mention offering a target that hackers simply will not be able to resist.

Under their old privacy agreement,Google states that no data was ever sent to google .
Just a thought, but, Ya know, the machine I have the google desktop search on sure does generate a lot of traffic.
Does anybody besides me remember when M$ denied emphatically that it was collecting personal data back in the days of Win98, until that guy out of Spain showed the world the file where they were storing said data.

These guys are not there to make your life easier, they’re there to make themselves richer.
It’s all about selling, and the best way to know what you might buy is to see where you’ve been and what you keep on your machine. Besides, it keeps some bureaucrat over at the NSA from having to get a real job.
