That sounds pretty good, at least I could Google all those parts of my life I 
forget. Heck, I could Google what day my wifes birthday is, maybe we could 
interface it Amazon and automatically send her flowers and books that other 
people bought that looked at the books she looked at!

You know what REALLY terrifies me? Google is working on an interface to the 
human brain that could pipe all the knowledge in the world (the internet) into 
your brain.  Can you imagine if everyone knew everything that was on the 
Internet! Damn it Jeopardy  would cease to exist!

LOL...  Jim.. I love it.. You did not kill that man last week did you???   

But, I think it goes deeper than being an open book.   The "we know all" world 
is a very scary place as power corupts and I can give you a billion examples of 
how good people use info for bad purposes...    
 
Also, I'm an open book too.  I mean, search google for "Doug Brown"... It is 
me.. Top of list.... So, I can be found too...  I live at... 265 Montelluna... 
Oops.. Too much info.. ;)

Anyhoo, I agree with you but at the same time it is a scary thing... I just 
hope freedom always wins....

The damage is done in my case I am afraid. My life is out there and anyone can 
find me. 
  
That being said every web site you visit your activity is logged.  Ever done a 
Ctrl-h in IE after a day of browsing and looked at the history that comes up?   
Hey I'm an open book. I don't really care what someone thinks about me, you'll 
get my honest opinion whether you like it or not. I've had my share of flame 
wars over the years and I think I may of killed a man in Texas just to watch 
him die but that is all fuzzy it could of been a movie.

I have a problem with Google apps and it is around security and privacy.  I
don't know if I want to put my corp. data or my personal data in the hands
of the kings on indexing and then have them use it to market to me or worse.
 What keeps Google from using that info that way or in a worse way?

I read a very disturbing booked called "IBM and the Holocaust" where Nazi
Germany used the info IBM collected to kill people based on their blood.
 Nothing worse than that and I know this sounds funny and way off base but I
bet it sounded the same in 1929 when they did they last census before Hitler
started using the data for bad.

Google has already shown they will bend over to China and give names to the
 Chinese Govt. and I bet those people (the names) are not so well off at the
moment and maybe not so far off from the fate of what was used in Germany in
the 30's and early 40's...  This is a slippery slope and I don't trust
 Google one bit.  You can have the mantra, "Do no evil" but their China
policy already shows they have the ability to partner with Evil.

So, that being said, I don't trust it... But, they do create some killer
 software... But I will keep my business docs and personal docs on my network
not with the king of indexing..

Also, I know this sounds far fetched but did Bush not ask Google for search
results?  And of course if you have nothing to hide then what is the
 problem?    It is a slippery slope and has the ability to be used in a VERY
bad away.

My wife does not agree... But I think a lot of people did not know what
would happen before it happened.  That is why the EU has such tight privacy
 policies...  They have seen what info in the hands of "indexers" will do.
It happened 3 times in Europe in the 1900s...

Also,  I actually did not come up with all this by myself.  They had this
 discussion on the Cranky Geeks (www.crakygeeks.com 
<http://www.crakygeeks.com/>  <http://www.crakygeeks.com/ 
<http://www.crakygeeks.com/> > ) and amazing video 

podcast show...  I highly recommend it.  It  is an awesome show...


Am I losing it or does anyone see any validity do my argument?
