You can not expect every site and function to be absolutely perfect. There is not one site in the world that does not have a loophole. Google just catches heat because of its name and great reputation. Always be careful what you put out on the internet, hackers are amazing at what they do. Stay safe.

Twitter’s internal systems have just been hacked into, along with the accounts of Twitter users (including celebrities):

http://www.tima...via_google_apps

The initial point of entry wasn’t a gap in Twitter’s security. The hacker(s) gained access through a Google Apps account. The worry with a Google account is, it’s web-based and therefore only as secure as the rest of the Internet. If yuor Google account is compromised and you use Google Docs in a serious commercial setting, your Twitter account will be the least of your worries.

Be especially wary of online documents. Even though you deleted them, you can bet Google has a backup somewhere. Therefore be careful not to put anything on these files that you would want people to know even years down the line, especially if you’re running for office, planning to do something illegal, have financial information, etc.

i have never used google docs before, but i keep hearing from people how convenient it really is, especially when working docs that needs to be viewed and edited by several people. but sometimes google makes me nervous, its like everything i do involves google in some way, very big brother like. take a look at this new digital security resource site (www.justaskgemalto.com), it has a lot of really important useful information. as our lives become fully digital, its good to be aware and have that digital smarts.

I’m dismayed that Google Docs still has dirty HTML years after it was called Writely, then acquired. There are numerous UI quirks and strange omissions, such as lack of ability to strip excess rich tags (for when you want to remove different-colored fonts from a doc).

Also, once an image is uploaded, I don’t know any way to save it back to disk easily — right-clicking doesn’t work. Does anyone know a solution?

Ha, I was reading the opinions about what Beta means. While there are general qualities which define the Beta state, the only source which would provide a satisfactory definition in terms of Google’s beta status would be straight from the horse’s mouth. Neeeeyahaahaha.

Maybe Google has decided to keep all images, even after you delete a document; like, Facebook has decided to keep all images even after you close your account.

Slowhand, you’re a complete idiot.

The main implication of the story, is that Google has spread itself too thin. Has Google become a firm obsessed with growth, which simply ignores the complaints of the likes of “little people” such as security consultants reporting grave product flaws?

I’m not sure what product of Google is not in Beta. The convention of Beta designation is so overly abused, that it has lost all genuine meaning. The key difference is whether anything has been released for public use, and Google docs have been around much longer than since yesterday.
