«غوغل» تكشف عن برنامج جديد يستغل تقنياتها للبحث في محتويات الكومبيوتر نفسه

Rama and all … salam

Interesting topic. the technology that google is using to deploy their products is so efficient it's scary. i started using their gmail service a couple of weeks ago, and it is so powerful and efficient. you can search tons of email messages in virtually no time.. there is no need to sort email and create folders , you just search and it returns threads of conversations quite fast

The privacy thing Anwar is a big issue here, but think about it this way.. the amount of data that's available about individuals in their public records is quite significant, and although the low claims to protect individuals' privacy, but it's not that difficult to get detailed information just from the public records. i'll give you an example.. you can get the home address and phone number of anybody who lives in the continental united states simply by typing that person's name and the city where he lives in a google search page .. it will retrieve the address, and give you a map of how to get there!!of course they give you the option to remove your name if you want
and you can extrapolate on that.. quite scary.

in my openion, the whole privacy issue will remain a topic for academic/ theoretical research.. in real life, there is no privacy and nobody can do anything about it


Quite interesting to see what google comes up with in the next few years
