Google dashboard is tracking your personal data. Do you think its right?

Is this serious???? Do they do this to everyone???? What kind of privacy is this??? I feel really paranoid now... thanks. If only I could tell this to my schitzo dad..... hahahaha. But really, this is a little more than freaky.

This is unavoidable since company like google really need this kind of information. I think sooner or later Microsoft may end up doing the same thing. Let's just hope the law will still prevent this.

If the info don't have our ID then I guess it is a risk we have to deal with if we really like to install Google Desktop. We still have option not to install it, isn't it?

Nowadays nearly all the commercial softwares collect certain information do some kind of investigation on user's systems. They use them to analyze the user's custom and to guide them to do make the software more competitive. Big companies will not collect passwords or someting like that, 'cos they don't need to earn money this dirty way. And most nontrival software encrypts its password, if another software try to intercept the password it run the risk to be caught by anti-virus software and be deemed as virus or trojan.

I was once a programmer in a famous software company. I ever did these things. I was asked to look into which home page the user set, which brower the user used, and had the user installed the rival's software and so on.

Technologically, you cann't know easily if the software collect such info or not. The client software need to communicate with the server and the info they transfer is encryped.

All the softwares want to collect someting. The friendly ones will ask you for permission, but the rude one don't.

Happy everyday!

yipes!!!then everything will go public!!what about privacy?password becomes obsolete i guess now that they are doing that...
