Where is your information?

Scotsman.com Business - Privacy fear as Google plans 'super database'

All this talk about privacy issues freaks me out a bit. When you think about it, we've got private information about ourselves everywhere, but at least it's somewhat scattered. This whole idea Google has to keep information about all of our online activities on their computers is too much. Essentially, they want your to store a big chunk of your hard drive on their computers -- your emails, word processor files, a history of your online searches etc... Here's a much better article outlining Google's good intentions. This is the perfect instance to use that old phrase, "It's better not to put all your eggs in one basket!" The eggs in this case would be yours and my cyber footprints. We all know there are hackers out there who can pretty much do whatever they want even if Google continues to put up a fight to protect our personal information. I know I for one want to keep as many eggs as possible in my own damn basket.
