: Jenkins WebblitsLet’s All Pile On Google
Seems like everyone’s lining up to take a legal shot at Google these days. If it’s not the DoJ, then it’s the Italian government. Here’s another one: according to the NY Times, in light of last week’s Google Docs oopsie, the Electronic Privacy Information Center has asked the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to:
“look into the adequacy of privacy and security safeguards of Google’s services and to require Google to be accountable for breaches. It also asks the agency to force Google to make its security policies more transparent and to disclose any breaches. It also asks the F.T.C. to enjoin Google from offering cloud computing services until it establishes verifiable safeguards.”
Geeze … anything else, while they’re at it?
EPIC says they’re not picking on Google specifically:
“Marc Rotenberg, EPIC’s executive director, said he was concerned about all cloud computing services, which encourage users to store a growing number of documents on the servers of companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and others. But he said that EPIC focused on Google because it is the primary provider of cloud computing services to consumers.”
I beg to differ. Check out our list of cloud services. And ten minutes ago I just blogged about Scribd, which lets you store books and docs in the cloud. Let’s be real — EPIC is picking on Google to maximize the publicity.

Crap, Christmas is Next Week
I need a personal assistant. Seriously. The tree isn’t up (but blame that on my parents) and the Santa Clause letter was not mailed (oops, all me).

Google App Engine
Google’s brand new App Engine allows developers to write (in Python only, at the moment), store and run programs using Google’s application environment. This is no longer just parking documents in the clouds but sky writing — for those who can fly, at least...
