GOOGLE wants you to hand over all your digital data. At least, that is the gist of notes from a corporate presentation inadvertently leaked onto the search engine鈥檚 website last week.
The notes, which have since been removed, reveal that the search engine has plans for an 鈥渋nfinite鈥� storage system to hold all its users鈥� files, emails and photos. These could then be accessed via any web-enabled computer.
鈥淚f you have the ability to access your files remotely, you can work on them from anywhere,鈥� says Danny Sullivan, editor of search industry website Searchenginewatch.com. However, the US government鈥檚 recent efforts to get its hands on Google鈥檚 search records (New 女生小视频, 28 January, p 23) might make some people think twice about handing over their files.
