Journals
Was about to make an epic journal with cool stuff too. But then some customer came and I accidentally closed the draft. FML. So here you go.
Google Drive is here. 5GB of free storage-space, read more here, http://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/introducing-google-drive-yes-really.html
Not sure about bandwidth usage, couldn't find any restrictions by fast glimbse. Or maybe you can't link stuff straight. But nice anyway, brb, making an account.
EDIT: No need to make account, you will get it via gmail automatically. And you have to choose people you want to share stuff, just like google-docs.
No song nor shouts!

nope
Also better privacy
"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the services and may be revoked for certain services as defined in the additional terms of those services."
2.
"When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services."
This applies to Chrome, Docs, Google+, Drive and a long etc.
No thanks, Google!
How is that not wrong?
On google docs it's even more retarded, cuz i know ppl @ uni sometimes use it to work on projects, research papers etc. Which tbh is kinda retarded if google can just take that and use it for their benefit.
(I know it states they can only use it for operating, promoting and improving their "services" but promoting is a pretty big thing, example they could say the large hadron collider was created using google docs in a commercial or something, if ofcourse that were true.)
Googles services are so fucked, made a gmail acc, never use it only for spam shit xD
Yes, they use your data to better their services. I for one cannot wait for the day when I enter in the keyword "wifi password" into google and get results from my Drive, because that's what I was looking for.
The way they word it is generic and not specific at all and therefor leaves a lot of room for creative use. That's the point, not wether or not the service they provide is good or bad or whatever, they just take privacy lightly (as do a lot of companies nowadays).
they are fucking up all the internet by owning it for themselves
Also the wording in the license is a bit too vague for my liking, even though they won't actually do anything with my files. -- Luckily I stopped using google's services a while ago.
they have "an awesome privacy policy"
meaning they "phone home" more, they sell ur personal data more, they show your searches filtered/moderated, meaning you see what they want you to see and not what you wished to see
yahoo is already on same way, they just have a slower ads(MONEY MAKER) machine
your searches(all the internet but...) take 4x more time they used to take few years ago
