Google+ Runs Out of Disk Space, Swamps Users With Notifications

dkd903 writes "Yesterday, many users of Google+ noticed Google spamming their inbox with multiple email notifications in very quick succession. Earlier today, Vic Gundotra, Head of Social at Google, explained what was causing it – Google ran out of disk space on the server that keeps track of notifications."

Google+ uses Google's standard terms of service which say "You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit."

Pretty much exactly what you're asking for, minus the ability to claim ownership of other people's work just because you uploaded a copy.

Hi there. I live in Norway, which is a democracy where we've had a strong government and mostly no capitalism (what you would call socialism) for the last century. We have the highest standard of living in the world and a "Savings account" of more than 100% GDP. Contrast this with America's "Debt" of above 100% GDP. So I guess we can conclude that your claim, "Democracy requires capitalism", is patently false.
