Hello all

Google released a beta version of it's web browser (called "Chrome" 2 days ago. The License agreement gives Google the right to use anything entered into the browser. What this means is anything that is entered into the browser (web addresses, user names and passwords, body of emails and everything else) is stored by Google and the can do as they wish.

In their words, "by submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

who cares

hello folks,

I dont like google and im shure google is still over the peak with their business concept. It works as long as peoples are open to give them their peronalst information - at the time they will learn how dangerous such a rising amount of personal data and difficult to delete them would be it would be too late for many of today users.

Since their first and only real "improvement" - by link ranking / rating of search engine results - google tried and tries to copy any maybe worthfully idea within the internet. I assume and hope search engines of the future are open, distributed and based on a open / non-commercial protocol / standards (rfc). Google with his monopoly ideas is per se enemy of the autonomous internet infrastructure and i hope peoples will realize that early enough.

Chrome, Google Analytics, Gmail and (now) the internet gps tracker are both just a more step into watching internet users. Many things google is doing with their users data are illegal in Europe or europeans countries like Germany - so Google dont like to talk open about the usage of the collected users data. Just on the same day as Google releases the Chrome browser some IT security companies uncovered the hidden communicytion of the browser with google servers and - the first time in germany - this Google product was discussed witin the news (tv, press).

Now google targets more into africa and the satellite market by collecting much investors money worldwide - together with HFC the say they will bring "broadband internet on fiber quality to each african house (1-1.5bln users) until end of 2010" - to reach this they have "new technologies wich are allowing that". Im shure this is a ly or - only try from a very strange viewpoint. There is currently no real solution in satellite communication industries. I assume they mean at maximum a (very) "cropped" kind of IP no real internet as usual.

But until today there seems to be to much critics on them - the hype hides a widespread, public and open dicussion.

Cheers,

Niels.

All I know is that Google is upto something with their technology development.

They start from a search engine to mail account to brower and world navigator, so I believe they are upto something.

im way too flat to start worrying right now

Small boys like us need not to worry, i dont have anything special to hide, except maybe some programming codes (which you can download freely online if you care to search) - in the end, i make my money from using my brains and combining what already is.

obiviouly, i dont give a flying f**k about google because i dont care niether do i give a hoot.
Damm google.

i think maybe its time for me to start looking for another browser o! small boy or not.

Yahoo Yahoo take note of this oooooo. EFCC can work with Google now and track your information and locations

@sabiqua

efcc and google working together. . . e easy? not going to happen soon!

For those who are anti-Google, pretty much be afraid of everything.

hello,

im shure the (really) next generation of search engines (and google is not more then a "search engine" would be a really open one. Like former - today mostly forgotten - protocols like WAIS or the Harvest Project future internet indexes ("search engines" would be run on open source software and communicates with standardized protocols.

Even google knows now that the content of an index should be collected "at the place" it is stored and is spending "indexing routers" to ISPs / hosting providers (but with a locked protocol).

To beat google as a search index we need a smart idea how to handle content indexing over a "open autonomous grid" and - at the second step - qualify content for different views. Ive just experimented with some old code from harvester to find out what was the real problem of the old search indexes like altavista and the others (and google today too). But to realize a new / better kind of "search solution" we need a community ofdevelopers wich are interested and able to code a platform independet open source solution.

If someone in nigeria is interested in contributing such a project please post here or contact me.

Cheers,

Niels.
