I’ve just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. I’ve just been letting everything wash over me. I can’t be bothered with anything recently.

Very, very worrying. As if Google don’t have enough information about every person surfing the web already. Only a fool would allow Google access to their hard drive.

[...] Intuitは Google Desktop(ボーダラインのSpyware)もQuickbooksに統合するらしい。で、これはなんとオプト･イン…。しかしまあ、Quickenのカスタマーは平均して見たらそれほどウェブは詳しくないので、きっと自分が何やっているのか自覚もないまま気付いたらオプトインしてました、という中小企業もけっこう多そうだ(因みにコレはハードドライブのコンテンツをGoogleのサーバーに保存する、という意味)。 [...]

[...] Intuit is also integrating Google Desktop (borderline Spyware) into Quickbooks. Thank God this is opt-in…but given that Quicken’s customers are not on average very web savvy, there is a very good chance that many small businesses will opt in without really understanding what they are doing (storing the contents of their hard drive on Google’s servers).

[...] Techcrunch reports about a new Google Desktop Version. The most significant change is that Google now has the option to store the file index of your local network computers on his servers! That has great opportunities in better usage for users and on the other hand big oportunitis for misuse of the customers data too. The question is: How much do we trust Google? [...]

[...] The Mercury News points out a fairly basic flaw in Google’s Desktop Search application: it cannot track files if you move them around on your hard drive (changing folders, moving folders, etc.). The application will index few files added to the computer, but it doesn’t notice when an already-indexed file is moved to a different folder. [...]

How disappointing.
When I read the news (as well as finding this site on Google) I was under the impression that I could store *files* on Google’s servers. Privacy be damned, I’ve been fighting WebFolders for over a year now, and it’s not that good (or I can’t find a decent WebDav server that implements ALL the features). I would even be willing to pay to have a reliable place to store data and be able to access it from anywhere.

[...] A week ago, Google released Google Desktop 3, which got a lot of criticism and triggered a lot of privacy concerns from people in and outside the IT industry, some might have been greatly exaggerated. Surfing over to Google Blog this morning I saw a post stating their has been loads of misconceptions about how it works. In another post Google states: On the other hand, we are the Enterprise team, and we understand that a company’s data is more precious than gold — and you don’t go passing your gold around. So we should point you to Google Desktop 3 for Enterprise (beta) which can put your security fears to rest. [...]

Folks - Help me out on this one. A short while back, Michael Arrington wrote up about the “online storage gang”. This involves placing personal information on the internet as well…but I was surprised that there was no mention of any privacy concerns in the post by Michael or in the discussion that followed.

Is all the hoopla here largely bcos this is Google (and they happen to make money out of letting people search data…plus they are in the midst of this govt subpoena)??
