Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

2012-01-27T12:23:00.000-08:00

		Is this email not displaying properly? View it in your browser.
Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience

Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.	Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.	Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.

Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).	Got questions? We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)

Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

On The CounterPath to Success

2008-06-30T09:39:00.001-07:00

If you want to build a perfect business plan, sometimes it makes sense to look at what has been successful in other markets and apply the same techniques in another space. McDonalds showed the world that a restaurant could become a successful worldwide chain and as such we have many worldwide restaurant chains today.

Skype Updates Beta Users (But Not The Beta 4.0)

2008-06-30T09:26:00.001-07:00

Mike Bartlett has written a very personal update to the beta users of SKype 4.0. I like the tone and direction, as it shows under Josh Silverman Skype is actually listening to users (including bloggers.) The comment about a compact mode was my initial reaction when Josh took me through the details a few weeks back. With smaller screen devices like Mac Book Air's and the UMPC's from Asus and HP all gaining momentum with the road warrior set, the Mac and Linux team's efforts at Skype will likely

How about free services like VOIP phone calls, checking emails or surfing the Internet ? Best of all you can do all that with a free software that does all of that for you if your handy is using the Symbian S60 operating system and is currently supported by the developer.

VoIP as Evidence

2008-06-29T23:01:00.001-07:00

"What you say may be used against you in a court of law" has a most interesting twist when it comes to VoIP. New York Law Journal delves into the legal implications of VoIP for corporations. A VoIP network may "unexpectedly" create a substantial quantity of stored information that could become the target of a discovery request.

Despite these negative initial reports, the phone managed to do well in the market, reaching record-breaking sales in the first week that it was launched. It is believed that this was due to the phoneâs similarity to the iPhone and the fact that it was released a few weeks prior to the iPhone at a significantly lower price. Some say

The FCC made changes to cable franchise rules last year which prevent âlocal franchising authorities from unreasonably refusing to award competitive cable franchisesâ.

Engadget nails it when they say: Depending on who you talk to, Windows Product Activation is a serious privacy violation, a headache, minimal protection against piracy, or all of the above. Lucky for us, Microsoft is finally seeing (some of) the folly of its overbearing ways, and has gone with a more permissive nagware method with Vista SP1. This as opposed to the regular method of routinely locking users out of their systems, which, wouldnât you know it, tended to hurt legitimate users more t
