Google Policy

I was not able to find the differences about the old policy and new upcoming policy, so i am going to post 3 new facts with the new policy. Google will be watching and tracking all of its products, from searches, phones, and Gmail. (http://articles.cnn.com/2012-01-27/tech/tech_web_tech-check-podcast_1_e-reader-android-system-mobile-apps?_s=PM:TECH)

The article was short but to the point, it is stating that google is getting to nosey in our (Google users) business. Yes, it is their website but it is an invasion of privacy against us. But, on the other hand we did agree to the terms and conditions so that was a risk we had to take whether we like it or not. Just don't search anything stupid or something that you don't want anyone to know about if it affects you that much.

I am neutral when it comes down to it, I really don't care whether they change the policy or don't because i have nothing to hide from anyone at anytime.

Copyright Infringement

The case that i have chosen is between Kanye West and Vincent Peters, in 2010 Peters filed a suit against West because of his song "stronger" that West supposedly took from Peters after he gave John Monoply in 2006. The verdict was in Kanye's favor when the lawsuit was overturned and found not guilty.

Internet Safety

Internet safety to me is when you make sure you dont say things to people you wouldnt say in person.

The three most important things are to not post or say things you wouldnt say in person. Be careful that you dont post photos of you that are discriminating against you or other people. Be careful about people online because not everyone is who they say they are.

I learned that there are giant creeps out there in the world.

I can make sure that i dont talk to complete strangers and dont give out my personal information to people i dont know and make sure that i dont go on websites that i dont know what they are and that could have bad consequences.

Feed Readers

Google reader is my favorite feed reader. The other readers(bloglines and feed demon)were very confusing to figure out, google reader was easily understood and has a great layout. Bloglines was simple, but very cluttered in the search area where it had limited search topics.
