Ok, I heard on the radio that big search engines like GOOGLE and maybe YAHOO we're going to make their searches better and more accurate or something. See, how they do this, is when someone searches for something, it's not only searched on the internet, but also on people's hardrives. This could be a good thing, but maybe not. Like if you search for 'codes' you might get something from a person's file containing a virus, or a code to destroy a hardrive. I think this is dumb because you could get a result (of your search), a book that someone is making. That person could steal that book and say they made it, but just searched it on google.
I don't think this is a good thing, maybe it is. I don't know.

...okay, and where exactly did the radio aqquire this information from? Sounds like a false rumour to me  If it is true, though, I first off--don't see how it's possible, but hey--I'm no computer guru! Secondly, this is one of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard of, people literally could steal from another... Not only that, but how much help could someone's hard drive possibly be? Wherever they're information is from, it's probably on the internet, too! It's not like anyone's going to find anything new on other's hard drives... Is there a petition to sign to vote against this? This idea is ticking me off...  |

Yea, it is stupid! I don't know about any pettition going on for this, but it is possible to search on people's computers. Like....... I don't know, Uhh, that Kazaa thingy. MY dad said it had spyware on it and it looks at everything you do so, it knows what you like and gives you all this pop-up and stuff. anyways, yea Kazaa searches other online people's computers for like music and stuff. So, this might be true, but I just heard from the radio.

Hey, this COULD happen. I didn't hear it on any radio station. It was this whole channel committed to giving you propaganda and information. A freaking military (BORING) news station. Kinda like AFN, which by the way, I have no other channels to watch right now! I'm going crazy! JEEZ! Ok, anyways... if this does happen, I'm NOT using GOOGLE!

It is a false rumour, my cousin's husband works at Google and I asked him if this was true, he said that there is a new version coming out and blah, blah, blah, I couldn't really understand what he was saying because he's pretty bad at explaining stuff, but what he basically said is that this rumour is false and that what is really happening is really differnet, though he can see how one would get them confused... Anyway...that's just how I comprehended it...  |
