Google Knows too much about us..Beware!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008 | Google | No Comments

Ever you wondered what google knows about you ?

Here is a small list of what they know about a person. Depending on which services he signs up for.

• The Websites that he owns.
• His Bank Account.
• His Profession. (at least very very close. Like a dentist would search for his related stuff and thats how they can find out what you do)
• Visitors to his website. (A lot of information about them, this can let them calculate a lot of things)
• A lot of information about you also goes in the websites that you visit that use google analytics code.
• Arial view of your house. If you have used google maps, you must have gone to check your house and must have gone to it a lot of times to show your friends and stuff. Or maybe worse marked it as “My House” .
• They know his personal connections, like his friends and his friends and a lot of information about them too.
• His full name
• His verified Postal Address.
• The web sites I visit, frequency of visit etc (this can be done through the google toolbar, which goes to their server to get the pagerank values etc.)
• The Country that he lives in.
• The browser that he uses.
• The OS that he uses.
• His video preferences.
• The communities he belongs to
• Credit Card information (In case of adwords)
• Search Terms that you target
• Who you send emails to
• Who sends emails to you
• The contents of those emails
• Your chat using Google Talk.

If you are a webmaster and have websites that use google’s services. I think that this is not going to be a good idea. Google knows a lot about us. And think about it, can’t they use this information to rank our websites. Why shouldn’t they. They are a very large company and know what they are doing. They also have to stay ahead of their competition and they have to constantly keep working on new ways to rank websites. Links Links and Links. Google is all about Links. They are going every direction to find our links. Business plus personal. They know everything about us (almost). Now with their phones coming up in the market they will also be able to locate your exact position.Although I use google’s services I have no other option no one ever dared to try and do something about this. But I have something in mind and just dont know how to go about it from here. I have put up websites, got users and very soon this will be launched and you can rest assured that no one is watching now.

The internet is for information. Don’t let people misuse the power of the internet.

Wake up!!

“Atom” as name for Intel’s new chip family

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 | Internet News, Other | No Comments

Intel Corp has picked “Atom” as the new brand name for its latest microprocessor, the world’s largest semiconductor company said.

The Intel Atom processor is the name for the new family of low-power processors, the brains of digital devices, that will power mobile Internet devices and ultra low-cost and small notebook and desktop personal computers.

Intel sees a big market for the Internet-connected devices that can fit in one’s pocket and for what it is calling the netbook, a low-cost PC costing around $250.

The Intel Atom processor is based on a new microarchitecture designed for small devices and low power consumption, Intel said. The chip is less than 25 square millimeters, and 11 of the chip’s dies — the slivers of silicon with 47 million transistors each — would fit in an area the size of a U.S. penny.

The new chips, previously code-named Silverthorne and Diamondville, are made on Intel’s 45 nanometer chipmaking technology and slated for introduction toward the middle of this year.

“Diamondville and Silverthorne both represent an attempt by Intel to sell chips profitably for a whole lot less,” said Nathan Brookwood, an analyst at market research firm Insight 64. “This is the first new processor design coming out of Intel since the Pentium Pro in 1995.”
