I don't believe they require ALL of the rights that they are demanding in order to simply display my content in my browser. As it reads, Google (in order to promote the 'Service' (read: Chrome, in this case) would be free to use all of my usernames, passwords, and websites they are associated with (for example) in a publication/advertisement to illustrate that the Password Management feature is fully-functioning. And that is a right that I could never revoke and is perpetual?
The possibilities are endless and I believe that the scope (both of use and in demand of rights) of the EULA is overreaching. I would be interested to know how they would go about exercising these rights that we are giving them. Would it be an official request that I voluntarily submit to them everything I've ever typed in or transmitted using Chrome? Can they capture everything I submit and view and is that done on demand or all the time? Will my paranoia ever end? The only comfort to me is that it says that it will be used for the sole purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting Chrome. It isn't much comfort but at least I know the scope of what it can be used for. I'd like the distributing and promoting taken off. All of that being said, I've tried it and I do appreciate the minimalist interface and the speed that I've seen so far. I am very excited to see it progress and see some of the performance enhancements I've witnessed be incorporated into other products. It's been a little spotty on loading some pages (yahoo.com, in particular) but still pretty good for a .2x version. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 2:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: What no chrome? Flickr Google? I thought Flickr is owned by Yahoo. But as far as the disclaimer - you HAVE to give them those rights in order for them to legally redisplay the content for you.
