Hello, Anybody heard about Gdrive.

GDrive is the name of a service speculated to be offered by Google. The service is believed to be some form of unlimited online storage space (a concept similar to its current Gmail service which offers 2 gigabytes of scaled email storage space).

Discussion of the service began on March 3, 2006 when bloggers discovered a slide presentation on the Google website in which Google executives stated: "With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including emails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc)". The presentation has since been taken down and been replaced by a 94-page Adobe Acrobat file, devoid of the speaker notes. Google has refused to confirm or deny the GDrive program claiming that the presentation was not intended for the public.

The discovery has, however, prompted media speculation surrounding a forthcoming service.

Microsoft has also indicated that it will offer a similar service. Basically everyone wants all your data.

If they get it (and they probably will) we can look forward to the biggest invasion of privacy, ever. The tax man (and every other government agency) will just love it.

yeah, I've heard of that gdrive thing before. I don't trust so much free stuff offered.

Quote: I completely agree.

they've been tracing all I do over the web ... "brave new world" becomes more a reality these days

Very nice offer, maybe they can also give a chip implant for free with a wireless transmitter, then all my thoughts go directly to google and I don't have to type it all anymore.

They don't know that I stopped thinking a few years ago and replaced my thoughts with Garfield cartoons.

lol, indeed. What's the probability that along with the tiered service proposal; this is all part of google's master plan to go bankrupt?
