Here's an interesting take on the Google-You Tube operation. Will make paranoids cringe, but it makes some sense.

Nano, interesting stuff and to make it even worse. They are now starting to post "virus-infected" vids on it.

Google is just being lazy in promoting Google Video, now that they own YouTube, they can just integrate, and run their advertising through YouTube.

Right on it! Maybe we can broaden this thread. Do you also fear that Google is becoming the all-seeing-cyber-eye? Will it become too dangerous? A sort of Big Brother that keeps a record of everything on the net and collecting info that can and will be used against citizens????

You mean, another Microsoft?

BTW, the title of this post isn't mine really. I guess Bernie read my entry at the end of another topic and thought it merited its own thread. Talk about Big Brother

Yep, that's another fact. I sometimes am really amazed what those guys are doing behind my back. Installing stuff, changing directories and all for the benefit of the customer :o

And their message that when they scan your PC for necessary updates, they won't look what's on your hard disk! Yeah right and I'm Julius Caesar!

Maybe we all should follow Big Bernie's advice and go MAC!!!! Or Linux, that's another option.
