If you have a Google account. Go here. Once you see that you can see exactly what Google knows, and that you can have control over who can see it you will not worry as much. Google has more info than anyone else, but many places have a lot of info on you. Most hide what they know about you and many sell the raw info. Google, So far, only uses the info to target ads to you. Not really a bad thing. I would rather see a targeted ad than one for Maxipads or Viagra. Google also give you quite a bit of control over it. The major plus though is that they do not split it up and make it difficult for you. Google search, Play store, YouTube, Google Plus, Gmail, Drive and more. All those settings, all that information displayed for you to control in one place. Name someone else that does that for you.
You really think that Google has the luxury of not caring? They have to care. If they allow this app, they set up the next Viacom, Sony, RIAA and MPAA suit against them.
As a sysadmin for a mid sized company looking to get a proprietary ICS from a major powerhouse... Are they going to give you access to the source? If not, How exactly are you supposed to know the weaknesses of the system without some real hardcore testing? Read the literature and take their word for it?
Oh. You just want to be cool and say something anti American. Go on then.
Your liberal roots are showing. Politicians are for the most part "FOR" what will get them elected. Being an idiot about wanting to restrict stuff is not a conservative only area of expertise.
It is possible. Those engineers also would have needed to be aware of every Microsoft program that used those unpublished APIs so they could give them a heads up. Or. Engineers in completely different parts of Microsoft not only found the hidden APIs and started using them but magically made changes to the software that would have broken with the API changes that so happened to work around the problems that would have come up under the neew "unpublished" changes to those APIs.
It is much more possible that the system was designed to give Office and IE a leg up.
No. We do not fail to see how that is a problem. A lack of real freedom with information kinda sucks. This does not give Microsoft the right to do whatever they want. Once Microsoft added the ability to download the videos directly that was Microsoft being an asshole about it.
What we all want is some good shit. Agreed. It does not mean that we have an inherent right to what we would like.
To be fair. It is not like you could trust anything that the people in power or the government over there have to say any more than "one nutcase". In fact, I don't know the nutcase so he may very well be correct. I have had some experience with what the government over there says and does... So I might be more inclined to believe some random nutcase over the government over there.
Yup. You either agree with the Presidents agenda or you are a racist. Either you want the government to spend even more or you want black children to starve. You are for more government or you are an anarchist.
The left has it all tied up in a neat little package.
I switched my company over to Google Apps. 30 Users. With Drive for sharing, Groups and aliases. It works really well for us with extremely simple administration and really good uptime. Simple, Flexible and inexpensive.

Gun control ????
or ... Even better.
Anyone here remember Tipper Gore?
To put it the correct way.
Google does not want an app out there that comes standard that downloads all their videos.
You can understand that. Right?
It is possible.

When this is exactly what Microsoft has been doing to everyone else for the past 20 years?
[citation needed]
Really? No. It is not needed. Everyone here that is not a shill knows that Microsoft, Apple and Google want money.
Of the 3. Google has been, So far, the least evil.
No. We do not fail to see how that is a problem.

Imagine the death rate of members of the party not in control of the IPAB just before a big election.
And it isn't like we don't have thousands of examples of the gov't successful management either.
Um. Ok. So list 50.
So. If we take your explanation at face value.
The GP was not a troll.
So the problem here is that you do not know what a troll is. Let me help.
An Internet Troll
Yes
Fuck Germany.
Those gay Nazi bastards.
Wow.
You French people are touchy.
Wow. ...
You even did that without posting anon.
Mistake? or
wow.

Funny.
Awesome way to spread the FUD bro.
Yup.

To be fair though. I don't care how many people tell me it is legitimate.
If you try to "Aks" me a question I judge them an idiot. Period.
This isn't about the government becoming more forthcoming.
No need for that.
Obama already gave us the most transparent Government in history. Remember?
I prefer something along the lines of Skynet.
Sounds much nicer.
Well everybody's heard about the Cloud !
