Besides that other programas like p2p will be elimenated or reduce to the lower velocitys conections, say nothing about webs with "no correct" material, like page with political information that they find "incorrect" for the people.<BR/>That mean the internet's free expretion extermination. So, you'll hear what they want you to hear. Exactly like tv or radio.<BR/>And finally the information's centralization where make easier all this, and ofcourse, google bring government access to all your web information, but not, porn information, the really information like: are you believer of such belief, are you a "terrorist", do you have or manage information that can be dangerous for "national security". <BR/>The stupid media news about google dening information to goverment is just a news for the people believe that google is gonna a be a guardian of you information more important and confidential, that you can trust it. <BR/>Well, you can not avoid it , but you can make money with all this. An example, buy stocks from companies that creats the next generation massive storge information "disks", make a "short sell" of stocks of companies that makes and dedicates to PCs.<BR/>This can sound paranoic, but well, is like world moves and always moves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-70051258617751421362007-04-26T08:45:00.000-07:002007-04-26T08:45:00.000-07:00Google can't shoot anybody, so I think any worries...Google can't shoot anybody, so I think any worries are overstated.

If gdrive is where you will store your cherished data then you may be interested to know what would happen to that data should the company ever become insolvent. Nothing is "free" and there is a price to pay for any service ...pay me now or later is the only difference.<BR/><BR/>Sorry folks, gdrive is no-go from the get-go for me. As disk drives become less costly by the day, I will and continue store my data at home on a couple external drives ...simple and effective.<BR/><BR/>Installing a secure remote desk-top to access my data from anywhere allows me the freedom which gdrive suggests. Add to this that my important data is encrypted in case my remote desktop ever gets compromised.<BR/><BR/>All Microsoft needs to do, for the average home user, is simplify the above process to install and support remote desktop, storage device add-ons and data encryption.<BR/><BR/>I remember when the server was the king and I didn't like it and neither did my colleagues ...it was called the "mainframe".

He doesn't say where he got it, and the file date is four days after the Analyst Day. For all the drama (Google Desktop archives, SEC filings), it would be nice to have some reason to trust the authenticity of the file.<BR/><BR/>Paul said today (http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2006/03/08/the_google_ppts.html) that he personally downloaded the file, and may have changed the modified date of the file.

Then Derrick mysteriously posted all the comments, but didn't post the original. Now Kedrosky posts what is supposed to be the original but with no explanation of where it came from.<BR/><BR/>It's a little suspicious that the zip file Kedrosky posted contains a ppt doc dated 3/6/06 at 11:15 PM, while the Analyst Day was held on back on 3/2/06. Did someone change the document after the Analyst Day?

However, by the reasons (*) listed below, google already knows that this one will not fly.<BR/><BR/>Why do this, then? They might be just trying to raise market awareness for the problems of such approach. Even though Microsoft already had to pull the plug on a very similar program (google "hailstorm microsoft"), Microsoft is still in an ideal situation to try it again and better. Which (given users' notorious naivete') would kill a large market segment<BR/>for google's search -- namely, every Internet user. Of course, google's<BR/>search appliance for enterprises (and later, a more affordable gadget<BR/>for the masses) would not have these problems...<BR/><BR/>Brilliant preventive move by google, it seems, as it looks for options<BR/>-- and time -- to better place its technology.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Ed Gerck<BR/><BR/>(*) What google proposes is a direct contradiction, for several reasons:<BR/><BR/>(1) Because you *still* have your local copy, the online copy becomes<BR/>an _additional_ risk. Risk MUST increase with the added online copy.<BR/><BR/>(2) Even if the online copy is encrypted (best case) with a key that<BR/>google does NOT have, the file may still be attacked and decrypted by<BR/>a variety of methods -- some of them not even cryptographically or<BR/>computationally limited.<BR/><BR/>(3) Losing physical control of your data (by placing a copy under<BR/>google's control) cannot be recalled. It's a final revocation of<BR/>your sole control rights.<BR/><BR/>(4) Creates a single point of failure.<BR/><BR/>(5) The more valuable your data becomes, it also becomes a more valuable target.<BR/><BR/>(6) Goes agains usual confidentiality principles, including "need to know"<BR/>and "least privilege".<BR/><BR/>(7) Either contradicts legal requirements for confidentiality or makes google legally liable for safekeeping everyone's data against any disclosure risk (including disclosure that is legally mandated, which is always a risk to comply with because any order is potentially disputable).Ed Gerckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500735527163002826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-1141857345397419242006-03-08T14:35:00.000-08:002006-03-08T14:35:00.000-08:00Someone has to come up with the original PPT that ...Someone has to come up with the original PPT that includes the notes!
