I was quite unhappy when I saw this:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/God-These-Google-Hackers-Are-Smart-72107.shtml

I love Google and I know they are doing their best to be the best, but
I want to help this way. I read about identity thefts a few moments
ago and I want to remind people of not storing so many personal
information on their Google account if not really necessary, because
no one/no site is perfect.

Thanks for attention,
r4w

The article actually has nothing in it about Google getting hacked,
it's simply using the term (incorrectly, as everyone does) to refer to
people who hack _other_ sites and create basically fake websites in
order to increase their PageRank on Google.

It is true that you should be careful, but I just wanted to clarify
with everyone that this particular case isn't about Google being
hacked.

Then everything should be fine, thanks. Other problem is, that Google
can handle your personal info to your government. I think this is very
stupid move of Google Inc., because I dont trust people in our
government and they can misuse the info for personal use, maybe. There
are plenty of liars and stuff and if I want to some activities against
them in the future, they may see my plans if I have them in my google
account. One thing is information better organised and the other
unreliable privacy policy.

I am so pesimistic, because a lot of things turn not to be the things
they looked like and I have seen an article where Google offers
personal information to a government, like Yahoo in China, I can post
the url, please prove me Im wrong, thanks.
