Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.

Hahahaha, OK...so the
Hahahaha,OK...so the reality is...CLOUD COMPUTING WILL NOT WORK under the existing structure of the internet! Businesses cannot afford to lose a day or two of productivity because the IT vendor(in this case Google) will not respond to a business critical issue with the IT infrastructure. The beauty of all this is that the internet in its existing incarnation is a miracle anything works! DNS, Routers, backbones, ISP's. Microsoft also invisions the world in a CLOUD but until the infrastructure of the internet is consolidated and put into the hands of one group for maintanence, management and support...then CLOUD computing is just pie in the sky dreams and has the exact same substance as a cloud!
shaughn, you are obviously
shaughn,you are obviously and idiot. Cloud computing is the way of the future. Stop knocking google and go back to your fleshlight. At least there are good solid companies out there trying to make it a reality.
There is no future in cloud
There is no future in cloud computing. Its a stepback to the mainframe (centrailized) model that we left 20 yrs ago. The idea that one entity needs to own and operate the 'internet' is fallacy also. As a business owner and individual consumer, the cloud is no place for my mission critical data or med records for example There are compliance and regulatory issues with all that also. CLOUD=FAIL.My experience with
My experience with eDeskOnline for the past three years has been exempalary. They also allow me free use of accounts, databases, website-content management and archiving of documents and musicFor the personal users, it
For the personal users, it is a free service so deal with it or go to hotmail or yahoo.For the business users, this is what happens when you outsource expecially to a giant company like google. If you want 100% up time, fault tollerance, and quick responses when there is an outage stop being so cheap and either bring your service in house or pay for a real email hosting service through a smaller company that values your business and cares if your service is down.
Do you really think that Google cares if you get upset about their service being down and leave? They will loose a whole $50 per year per user?
Cloud computing while in theory it is great but in reality it is a joke. If you are willing to trust Google or any other huge company with your documents you are a fool. It is hard enough keep documents secure when they stay in house and you want to transfer them accross the internet to be stored on someone elses server where you have no control over the security of the file?
