I'm not defending Google but they were open about what happened when you having the shared files activated. Basically they let you create your own VPN for free. Of course anything you put on this will be accessible to Google, which means the Feds can subpoena it and look at it without a search warrant.

Here is the source. (http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_02.php#004400)

This could be why that even though Google uses Linux, Google desktop is windows only. Or maybe because Linux and Mac have true journalized file systems a cached search engine isn't necessary.

I forgot about Google Earth, they stiffed us on that, wait and Google talk too, bastards. Your right Google is evil, they bent over to China.
