Okay so are you afraid from having someone tracking you or keeping a log of
what you are doing? why should you be afraid from that, are you doing
something wrong? if you don't want someone know what you are doing then IMHO
you shouldn't be doing it from the beginning, specially, over the web!
If you want to use a Canonical-hosted mail server instead of Google-hosted
one, so how can you guarantee that Canonical won't one day keep log of your
emails, not all of us can buy and configure his own mail server, and if it's
not a physical server at your home (e.g. you have your own server managed by
some hosting company) then you can't guarantee that this hosting company is
not spying on you.
So again if you are doing something wrong then stop doing it, I don't mean
any of you is doing something wrong, but I'm just explaining my point...
We all need all the time someone to manage some parts of our life, we can't
do everything all the time, so we need to relay on someone to do that for
us, for example I can't pen trace all the Ubuntu code to make sure that
there isn't a back door somewhere, so I have to relay on some others who did
so (who knows maybe they are paid to stay calm?? ,, I don't care, simply
because all what I'm doing on my laptop is open to everybody, I have no
problem on that).
I like Google -for now- because they believe in the Open Source, they
started many many many Open Source projects along with their patches for
Open Source projects like the Linux Kernel, the Ubuntu project itself, and
many other small and big projects (Eclipse, Apache, Mozilla, KDE, Gnome,
Drupal, and many much more) [[Yes they are still submitting patches for
Firefox too!]]
I also like the data liberation concept that Google has, the data ownership
to the user, but I also agree at the end of the day that we should be
cautious, if we don't like something then we can simply raise our hands and
let them know and it's proven that they respond (so far).
Personly, I completely understand that any company needs "Money" to survive
and continue innovation, so I don't mind that Google collect some bucks from
here and there so that they can deliver the quality that I want. They
actually helped me a lot with this new product G+, so that I'm finally able
to have a e-social life.
BTW, this applied also for SUN, and currently apply also for IBM, RedHat,
FixedSolutions, and many similar Companies that believe and encourage the
OpenSource and need to collect some bucks at the same time!
Sorry for the long email, but I'd like also to mention one small experience:
- I like the fact that when I post something "Public" at G+, everybody that
uses Internet can see it, event if he doesn't have a Gmail account. But
something like Facebook won't show more than my profile picture, some of my
interests, and a box asking to Sign Up first! (Hey, it's my data that I want
to share with everybody, not yours to block it from people!!)
