OMG!! Google is stealing and archiving pictures of my dopey cat doing stupid stuff!!! OH KNOW!! Google now knows I have a hair appointment on Thursday all because I use google calendar. What am I going to do!!!! My privacy has been invaded!!! I feel so violated!!!!! Seriously, if it's personal and you don't want to take the risk of someone knowing about it, don't put it on the internet in the first place. And if you have to put it on the net or transmit it to a friend, encrypt it. I mean you ARE a GPG user, right? As far as google running around with a Wifi enabled car snagging data from unsecured access points, it's the end users own damn fault for blindly buying an AP and just slapping it on their network. I'm not that paranoid that I loose sleep over the possibility that google may be archiving pictures of my cat, the occasional dirty joke and a few "Hi Mom, we're doing great here, how are y'all?" emails. All my important stuff is on my PC on an encrypted hdd behind a router using two tiered encryption and a 25+ character passkey. And anything that is REALLY personal and SECRET is stuffed in a case hidden in my home under lock and key. And if it's damaging and detrimental to my character or freedom, it's only exists in my own head as a memory. I mean I've got better things to turn my attention to, like trying to finalize the processing and paper work to get my $59 million Nigerian nairas that my dead rich uncle (who I didn't realize I had) from the International Bank of Abuja. Just gotta run to the bank tomorrow and get that $2500 cashiers check for the processing and duty fees. Then I'll be on easy street!!! ___________________________________________________ Sonja Michelle Lina Thomas sonjamiche...@gmail.com "I realized fear one morning, when the blare of the fox-hunters sound.
