There are many differences between the new and old privacy terms for Gooogle.  The first one is that Google can now access your personal emails for search purposes. The second is that you can't dissagree to the terms of google on the new privacy terms. The third is that they will improve in the area of copyright and trying to prevent it.

The article on the Google privacy issue on CNN.com is all about google explaining the reasoning behind the privacy settings. many people say it is a bad thing to do what Gooogle is doing but Google disagrees and they tell why in this article.

Copyright Infringement

Apple 'sued by authors' for $1.8m in copyright infringement case.
A group of Chinese authors has sued Apple for 11.9 million yuan ($1.84 million) in compensation for allegedly providing copyright-infringing books for download through its online store.  The group behind the lawsuit has been lobbying Apple for months to remove copyright-infringing books from its App Store.  The group of nine authors, under the mantle of the China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS), sued Apple in Beijing's No. 2 Intermediate People's Court for copyright infringement of 37 works.  This law suit is  very recent and is still going on now.

Internet Safety

  • Internet safety is the ability to use the internet in a mature and responsible way, and to turn away from any harmful things on the web.
  • The three most important things about being safe online is to not give out any personal information (like your adress or a phone number), to stay away from any virus causing sites, and to not give your password  to anyone (even your friends).
  • From Deputy Krupp's speech I learned that there are a lot of laws surrounding the internet usage.
  • I can improve in internet safety by not giving my password to anybody, even my friends.

Google Reader or Blogline??

The two sites, Google Reader and Blogline are very similar in appearence and user friendliness.  However, I personally like google reader more than blogline because it is just a little easier to use than Blogline.  The appearence is better and the the whole setup is veryb user friendly.  Everything is easy to use and read thanks to the setup of Google Reader.  Overall I believe Google Reader is just a little better than Blogline.
