"Privacy is Dead"

Title of this post by Michael Arrington on the latest outrage by the privacy creeps at Google.

Apparently, Google now starts storing the whole content of their user's harddrives on their servers.

Good to know that they have a "no comment" policy firmly in place on whether they are selling out that data to interested third parties like the NSA or anyone with a subpoena.
