Point #1, I don't really like it when I don't get to control the whether&when for updating my software... kinda like automatic bill payments - I have the money, but I still want to be able to say yes before you take it. I'm going to download the software's updates (not being technically savvy enough to second guess the developers), but I'd like to keep the right to say "know what? I don't want that on my PC".
Also, not sure of the implications of #2 that the writer points out, but it makes me uncomfortable. While I put my stuff (pictures, writings, blog entries, etc) out in the public domain I don't like the idea of anyone having the right to use my stuff to make money, just because I used their browser instead of Firefox or IE. Am I misunderstanding point #2? |
Keep in mind that those are the same "terms of service" for ALL of the Google products .... so when you use Google Maps, or just the Google search engine, you are agreeing to exactly those terms of service.
Can I assume that everybody read the terms of service related to using the Google search engine?? Everybody real clear about what you have all already agreed to?? If not .... I suggest you pop over to Google and read the terms of service. They relate to every product Google makes. Every last one of them. These terms are not unique to the Chrome browser ... why the author of the article didn't see fit to point that out ... well, I'll never know. Then again, perhaps he or she has never bothered to read a terms of service for any other of the Google products.
So .... I figure, since I've been using the search engine for a long time now, and since in using that product, I've already agreed to their terms of service, then adding one more Google product to the line up isn't going to change much in my personal universe.
