Google's Gdrive Raises Instant Privacy Concerns

An anonymous reader writes "The rumor mill is already raging over the potential functionality and capacity for Google's online storage service we talked about earlier this week (the company says 'it makes sense' to put all its Web apps under the same umbrella). But Internet rights advocates are now crying foul over liability issues, a probable lack of encryption and a cash-cow model that could scan all your personal data for advertising keywords. From the article: "'Google would be wise to offer users an option to encrypt your information,' says Nimrod Kozlovski, a professor of Internet law at Tel Aviv University. 'It really needs to have really detailed explanations of what the legal expectations are for storing your info.'""

Re:Want another M$?

[jhRisk]

Sorry you feel that way but it's awfully presumptious for you to think you know why someone would use "M$." I do so simply because of the abbreviation and character recognition as it makes it easier to read especially when there's many mentions. If G# was the acceptable abbreviation for Google I would use that one too. Nothing in that post is bashing M$ or in any way related to what you are inferring I'm trying to say by its usage by the way. Also...

Not meaning to stray offtopic, but why do people still find the need to try to stray offtopic?

Not meaning to stray offtopic, but why do grammar, language and other nazis still troll around trying to teach us feeble minds how to properly conduct ourselves online?

Sorry but you asked for it ;)
