How many of you know that a corporation like Google don't get very far without cooperating with the powers that be and their security agencies?
So, do YOU want to open every file of your machine to the security agencies and the marketers?
All your contacts? All your bank details? All your photos, email, movements, preferences and data that they haven't gained already?
This is brilliant.. Google are masters at inventing inviting and compelling ways to track us and sell the info to the highest bidder.
Thanks but no thanks.
Good luck to those of you who think vanishing privacy is benign.

Without paranoia. I installed Google Desktop, didn't find it useful, tried to get rid of it. It took hours of searches in Terminal, based upon the Console logs.That thing install itself anywhere, and it's very difficult to really get rid of it.

It is Google to blame - Ilgaz
If they have zero security policy for Adwords, if people sees Pirate sites staying alive and making money just via their Adwords, if they hire Ex-NSA people to their board, if they offer insanely stupid things like "search history", if they say "Our machines will read your personal gmail to show relevant ads"?Google has a serious image problem, being number 1 search engine doesn't change it at all. Or childish slogans like "We are not evil".
It is making ordinary people paranoid and comment like that publicly.

to the fool calling paranoia-read up before you call names1. MY SPACE is now owned by Rupert Murdoch (FOX NEWS) who has given the FBI and NSA FULL permission to look at your tracks and habits.
AMAZON.com just won a lawsuit against the NSA, which was demanding they give out the titles of ALL books sold, and who bought them.
2. Librarians said "No!" en masse when the NSA demanded they keep the titles of books and their borrowers in a database for them to collect.
3. The US Postal Service was asked to spy on people, to note anything unusual and report (20 years if they find a Persian rug in you home?)
They refused.
4. The Firefighters Union, on the other hand, HAVE agreed to report to the authorities anything 'suspicious' during safety checks, or putting out small home fires.
The NSA can also freely monitor your phone calls, soon read your mail-
and now with the passage of SB 1959, you can be deemed a 'terrorist'
for anything upon a whim that they think is 'anti-american' ie: protesting higher taxes, the war, etc.-You are helping "the ENEMY"
No Miranda, no Habeus corpus, no phone call-remember, you are a 'terrorists' and are no longer are considered an American, and there fore can be denied your rights. The Democrats didnt even have the guts to vote against this.
I am a 'terrorist' for bringing these facts to your attention-or soon could be.- "Agitating" to incite people into getting wise to whats going on around them-that automatically makes me a card-carrying, dues paying
member of Al Qu*da-or some other such BS.
Break down of your front door in the middle of the night, may soon happen to anyone- to possibly never be seen or hear from again.
Even your neighbors are encouraged to spy on you.
Wake up and read the so-called "patriot act" nothing patriotic about it-
more like the "orwellian act"
Youtube routinely censors political stuff deemed "inappropriate"
ie: one video of people protesting a county park being plowed through with an expressway. (Cant encourage protesting-its now 'un-american')
Wake up and smell the coffee
1984 is the new template for government-read it
I will be surprised, that since it is on topic in context to the original post, if this post stays up.
and remember-It CAN happen here-and is

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! I can't believe the current government thinks that they can impede on people's rightful privacy. What happened to freedom of the press and people's rights? Are they going to remove those amendments just like they want to do away with the whole Constitution itself?The NSA needs to stay out of people's way! Seriously, do they think everyone's out to get them???
Give me back democracy!
P.S. The NSA is also probably reading our posts. Better not say anything "anti-American" or "unpatriotic"! :O
