UM… ok, what the hell has the fact that Gmail and Talk are classed as beta got to do with transparency or how open they may be? And you forgot to mention that avoiding adding to earnings projections can have tax implications. WHich would make more sense than the "google is secret and evil" line you appear to be pushing.

And many applications install critical components into the Applications folder, it's a way of seperating user accounts – so for example if a user account is removed their data can be removed without effecting others. What the hell has that got to do with transparency?

What do you think they are trying to hide with any of this?

No one forces you to use Google – and if you never give your real name nothing can be identified in reality. In reality Google is very open with their "get srvices for free and lose a small level of privacy" model of providing services – far more open than most organisations that use tracking. However, they are somewhat ubiquitous in their web presence so they have reach far beyond any other company.

Probably neither – why would they choose a side?

If they did I'd say TPB helps them serve ads through web searches – so I doubt they'll respond to any requests to remove search results from public trackers. Unless it's copyright takedown requests.

There are good uses of BitTorrent in the wild. It is great that Google is helping to identify which ISPs are limiting its use.

That's crappy… there's no throttling at the University here. Depending on the network load, you can upload between 2 and 8 MB/s… that'll get your ratio up pretty quick! No idea how fast the download can go, I've never gotten it above 1.5MB/s.

Google sides with DMCA laws? Interesting, what is the source?

By: mister_playboy

mister_playboy — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:22:50 +0000

I don't consider Google totally open about this sort of thing. After all, isn't it the case that Gmail and Talk are STILL considered betas simply as part of a ploy to avoid having to include them in earnings projections? That sounds like something other than "transparency" to me. Anyone who installed Chrome on their Windows computer has probably seen how the program installs itself in the hidden AppData folder for each user, rather than in Program Files like *every* other program. Doesn't even give you a choice of directory for install. Transparent? Maybe too much so…

I use their services, but I don't trust them 100%

Google doesn't seem to be to cooperative regarding the countless warez blogs the're hosting nor do they voluntary take any measures beyond the DMCA so i at least hope google is kinda with us.

Google side with DMCA laws and are censoring the internet, I've posted this previously to no response. http://bbs.dontassrape.us/viewtopic.php?id=222 I still run Google's analytics, I just dont agree with their censorship policies.

Between The Pirate Bay and the IFPI, which side is Google likelier to side on? I myself am quite unsure.

Yeah, with Google, I am usually suspicious of what they are doing.
