Austin, TX | I would have to agree with Google being a threat to privacy.
And I believe that they are wanting to maintain personal medical records on line??? Do no evil, yeah right..... | |

Cleveland, OH | Re: Maybe someone should be asking why Google saves info i see no reason in using FF. IE works just fine for me. And in a lot of sites its only IE. Why have FF and have to make websites "think" i'm using IE? Just use IE and get it over with. | |

| Re: Maybe someone should be asking why Google saves info That got a laugh out of me, but they probably DO have enough money now to actually buy Viacom 
The Problem I have with most official video sources is as follows:
- Sometimes the player will not rewind or fast forward right if you stop a show and want to pick up where you left off later. I'm looking at you, CBS Price is Right Player.
- In early beta players, video is sometimes slow loading...
- The same 20 second add five times in a show is a tad annoying...either cut the add, or show different short ones..
If youtube can upgrade the quality, the companies can use this service to their advantage as well..putting shows on there to gauge the audience for potential DVD sales, for instance. Seeing how many hits an old show gets for a potential revival.
If only the old fogies at studios wouldn't be so scared of technology and see the great potentials it has.. | |

Though Google buying Viacom and trying to become a media company would probably be rather bad... | |

| said by TKJunkMail :Aside from the issue of the Court requesting all this info to hand over to Viacom, another issue should be why Google needs to KEEP all this info. They are a greater threat to privacy than the judge in this case and in Viacom who merely wants the data to get Google to fork over money for hosting their movies, TV Shows, etc. I absolutely agree with this, and I have been saying so for a while now. Everybody seems to have this blind trust in Google that's as strong as the blind hate in Microsoft.
As for the so called push to "Cloud Computing," I'm not excited about my data being housed by a third party which might have to hand it over at some point as part of a lawsuit. This case is an excellent example.

I notice you always bash Google, and defend those who attack them. Why? I strongly suspect much of the information Google keeps on YouTube is required by law--- because of BS copyright provisions that require they do so for their own protection.
Personally, I'm fine with Google being able to tell me what videos I've watched. I'm not fine with that private info being handed out to various third parties for BS reasons.
