But hey when the site goes down now it's on me since we are running our own server now. But the users over at Blogger are ready
I touched on this subject last night. With Google's ever increasing appetite for data be it e-mail, video etc. They must have warehouses full of computers with nothing but hard-drives in them.

This is a significant number of digital media users whose sharing of digital media is untraceable by the recording industry and copyright holders.
ScanIT, an Internet security consultancy, reports Microsoft's Internet Explorer was unsafe 98 percent of the time, during 2004. The data were collected from 195,000 internet users who used ScanIT's online security checker.
