Seriously, if you haven’t visited Eric’s site, he often recommends applications and utilities, and he is always (in my opinion) right on the mark with his reviews!

They might have your email (gMail), your search history, this would give them your browsing history (to non-https sites), etc.. basically your entire internet experience is funnelled through one source.

now, I don’t fear google at all now -but you never know what might happen. someone else mentioned to me that if the board ever got annoyed with Larry and Sergie? they could fire them and then the “do no evil” mantra could be forgotten.

I dont care if they track my usage – but the single point of entry for all of my data is kind of concerning. How hard would it be for the data to be changed so that it appears as if it is coming from my requestor but is really false information?

I don’t think that would happen – but it definitely could.
