Drudge a "good friend?" Uh oh. Drudge's garbage is worse than yellow journalism. The man is a liar. Sure the page is entertaining, and I look at it to see what shenanigans are coming next from the righties, but it's complete spin and dissembling.
Anyway, yes I let Google's computers "spy on" my email. Many random computers between me and you are able to spy on it and I have no control. Google's automated systems get to target their ads more effectively. In exchange, I get a very nice, free email client among other applications. Obviously if you are concerned about privacy you don't put the information in an unencrypted email. Now INTERNAL to a corporation, that's a different deal. You may want your corporate email on a Google Apps or internal server setup behind the firewall/VPN. I will say that I use https to communicate with Gmail. That's because I don't want my clients/employers snooping on my mails. That's a bigger concern to me than Google. -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
