    I must admit that keeping your money buried in the backyard most likely is a lot safer than handing it all over to a bank.

    google supports open formats via export functions, so that can’t really happen.

    I agree that it’s a nice business model to have Google take care of backups for business. However, I think it’s crucial that all data is directly downloadable in standard-compliant format… to make it possible to still have a backup if something DOES happen to Google.

    I wish school districts would stop wasting money on slow, vulnerable, unreliable electronic mail protocols and just use g-mail! Seriously.

    No person at Google ever reads your emails, part of their software looks for keywords and uses them to make the advertisements on the page relevant to you. If you want to get technical, your computer “reads” your files when it indexes them, some ISPs “read” your web traffic to prioritize or filter certain things.

    Bottom line, if you are that worried about privacy then you should go back to writing your letters or start encrypting your emails.

    I’ve been using Google Apps in my classes for over two years and would recommend it to anyone who teaches.

    No, the processing for indexing and searching would just have to be implemented client-side; with mail client plug-ins for, e.g., Outlook, and, for the browser, open-source java applets, like Hushmail’s pgp mail client, or even with javascript. Indexing would run in the background, using idle bandwidth while the user is reading, composing, or simply logged in, but doing something else.

    uh huh, Google may not share your data with anybody else. But there’s no mention about sharing your data with Google. No mention that they won’t snoop around in my data like they do in my Gmail inbox. Will they blend in ads for Starbucks when I save a document containing the word “coffee”? I’m afraid that Google is more and more becoming a “bad” company just like Microsoft, I use their Search because it’s still the best but nothing else.

    Interesting asterisc, specially if you go and read the privacy statment and user agreement, where it states that googles own anything u post, share or upload…

    Once again,

    censored information is disinformation.

    Disinformation does not equate to democracy, or anything the United States is supposed to represent, FLAT OUT.

    But I’m not going to argue with you because we obviously believe two different things. It was a great discussion though.
