exactly... nothing you sent over internet can be hack proof or spy proof... It is no big deal that your mails can be accessed by other people but just the fact the who the hell wud be interested in personal mails (unless of course u sent some critical financial information/passwords or maybe u work for some detective agency or whatever... ).. but I don't think most of the mail are even close to that when it comes to content...
Also as per statistics quite a big percentage( i don't remember the exact number) of mails are spam... so what are the chances of someone finding information he/she can use by reading someone's mail???? i dont think much... so just take care what you put in ur mails and you should be safe... what say??? btw as for google, it does not need to spy on your mails... who knows even yahoo and hotmail might be doing it.. i am not saying they need to or that they wud.. but they have so many other ways to put their resources in rather than this.... so as for the accelerator.. it should be useful especially if u use dial up... I agree that on broadband it wud not make much of a difference but they are improving .. so it might improve further along the way... |

Google is crazy! Please (in my opinion) avoid this program!
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthrea...hreadid=1550469 http://google.blognewschannel.com/index.ph...es-accelerator/ People will be able to view anything you viewed... that means, if you viewed a PM, a cached version is on GOOGLE's site, and people can view it! If you read something in hotmail, they WILL be able to read it If you typed a password, and it shows up (say on a confirmation page or your email) people can see it. Moderators are highly recommended to uninstall or avoid this program. The preceding comment was pure opinion. |

QUOTE(alperuzi @ May 7 2005, 10:40 AM) I've been using this for a few days, it seems to work here and there... most of the time the difference is very little though. in 481 pages I've saved 5.1 min.  so, if you have saved 5.1 minute per 481 pages, that means... that means 1 minute = 94.3 pages. result: you every a page and a half you load, you save one second. i suppose you're using dial-up connection (just like me), and i don't know too much about acellerator programs (i don't trust any programs which runs while i'm surfing the net, even if it's Google's), but it doesn't seem very fast when i find a page which is too slow for my connection (more than 25 seconds for loading), i just go away and never come back. i can find what i was searching somewhere else and the webmasters losses my hit. so the solution is to develope designs which are lighter than 120 Kb. it's not so hard, believe me. |

This could have been very sweet, if only I didn't get this funny message:

I used to use the Web Accellerator, but lots of people say its spyware, and are having problems with it. So I am not going to take the risk of anything happening to my computer.
Its still is in the beta stage anyway. |

Google Webaccelerator is a backdoor/trojan horse and has vulnerabilities that hackers are using as i'm writing this post.
