Yeah. I’m gonna be dependent on A) The internet and B) A known collaborator with Chinese Communists, to make sure I can access my personal files.

Riiiiiiight.

So Google’s minions could look through your hard drive to find anti-government sympathies? Anything critical of the big “O” and you get a visit from jack booted thugs.

booting your computer from online drive to load the Google operating system

I guess I'd like to see an explanation for how that would work.

Oracle tried this about 15 years ago. Tried, failed.

When it arrives

When it arrives? There's been a third party app that does this for a few years now.

Course a google version would be more seemless.

That’s a lot of storage and maintenance thereof, seems like a drain on profits.

People will become very aware that their “upload” speed aint the same as their “download” speed.... Great idea until you need to store a 1.6 Gig ISO somewhere.

Im working with about 6 terabytes around my house. Google isn’t going to give me anything like that in terms of storage, even if I trusted them, which I don’t.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha...

haha

At roughly $100/TB, and falling, I don’t see personally owned storage devices being displaced by this network-centric insanity.

Google’s WAY too interested in vacuuming up every little of personal data on you to ever give them access to your hard drive...

I had to upgrade the firmware in my Olympus camera last week.

The driver FORCED me to be connected to the internet to gain access and install the patch. It wouldn’t let me download it to install at a later time.

I was fit to be tied.

Although I was in Hooters at the time and their wifi was down. So at least I wasn’t bored
:-)

No way in Hell am I going to use google, or any other on-line storage system, for my personal data.

This is stupid. First off, netowrks, anywhere in the cain, can go down, and then you're cut off from your files.

All that data in a single place is a tempting target. One breach, and everyone's data is subject to access and/or corruption.

Nope, no way, no how.

Now mix having the contents of everyone's hard drive available with this article from the UK. ... allow any Minister by order to take from anywhere any information gathered for one purpose, and use it for any other purpose

This sounds very good to me. I love Google and hope this is as good as it sounds. It would be like being able to use e-mail everywhere...now you would be able to access all your records and work anywhere you are without having to take thumb drives with you. I really like this.
