Google actually is the most used search engine in the world, and it expand in a lot of services on the internet: mail, news, videos, translations, advertisement, word processing etc. This is a very good service, because it try to spread a new way of think about a computer: it's not necessary to have a powerful computer, because you can do everything on the net, you should only have a computer with internet access and a browser. But is this safe? Does Google offer all these services only for filanthropism? I'm a little afraid of what Google can be in the future. Now it's "only" a big corporation... and in the future? Will Google be a kind of Big Brother? Or am I paranoid? :) Tell me your opinion!

Yes, I am. When a corporation expands so widely, there's always the risk that its owners will try to make more and more profits in spite of what it has been until then. I don't like when big corporations buy little companies: it is true that they make them evolve but they should only give them more visibility and financial cover, leaving to the acquired companies their previous independence.

Your question is very interesting. The online services are protected? ... but ... tour PC is real protected? If someone want to spy you ... he can spy on the net like on your pc.
