Yale Delays Move To Gmail
Mortimer.CA writes "The Yale Daily News is reporting that the move to Gmail has been postponed. After further consultations with faculty and staff, the concerns raised 'fell into three main categories: problems with "cloud computing" (the transfer of information between virtual servers on the Internet), technological risks and downsides, and ideological issues.' In the latter category, 'Google was not willing to provide ITS with a list of countries to which the University's data could be sent [i.e., replicated], but only a list of about 15 countries to which the data would not be sent.'"

While this is of course theoretical, if you put all the "zero" bits on one server and the "one" bits on another, you could also achieve fantastic compression ratios.

How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
"10 USD/mailbox/mth for exchange hosting"
And this is different from Google how? Id much rather put my security in the hands of the best software company in the world with a stunning track record for security.
