Overblown

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number. If you read the comments it’s obvious that I think the whole thing is overblown, and things like this are being used by certain people to scare people about using the internet. What do you think?

Craig Ball and John Simek Craig: a simple Walmart purchased hard drive holds more data than you can imagine. 80GB is a ton of stuff, and maybe 2/3 of what is on that drive is unreadable to you, so you can’t even be sure what it says. Even then, we’ve moved way beyond that. We’re…

I only have today and tomorrow to get any and all work done for the rest of the month, since I’ll be gone. I’m working hard on getting everything caught up. I’m checking and double checking all the logs and machines for signs of impending trouble that I can correct now, instead of waiting for…
