Re: Have You Heard? Google Is Going "Chrome"
You guys, did you read the EULA carefully? By using Chrome you give up your rights to privacy for eternity, because then Google will have the absolute right to use your search habits/history for whatever - and they'll use it however they want to.

Here's the text = "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services."

I can't even believe they would try something like that, from what I heard google updated and changed it because people were complaining. It was an article here at pcworld.

Re: Have You Heard? Google Is Going "Chrome"
I've heard a lot of people complaining about google's privacy policy about data received from chrome, but I don't understand what all the hoopla is about.

As Adama mentioned, the privacy policy for ALL google products has clauses granting google the non-exclusive right to use and or publish any content created with, displyed on, or uploaded to a google product/service. However, in that same policy, it says that such information will only be used to provide the functionality of, and improve the product/service, or to promote the product/service (as in creating ads about it).

So, in the "worst" case scenario, a bunch of google developers gossip about that embarassing picture you're managing with picasa, and they use some screenshots of your blog in a series of nationwide commercials. So, what's the problem here?

The only legitimate complaint I've seen is that it's internal search engine crawls secured sites, such as: online banking, insurance information sites, and the like. That's easily fixed, and I'm fairly confident it will be before the product leaves beta sometime in 2010 (google likes really long public betas).
