Oh no they own my UOSL posts!

That is a bit silly though. However, I post no important intellectual property through web browsers.

Anyone can track what you do on the internet. The aforementioned link was speaking about the use of IP, which is what you are posting now. That's it. If you blog, that's IP. Forum posts, IP.

But tracking what you do isn't what that link was talking about. However, if you really think what you do on Firefox, IE, or Safari can't be and isn't tracked, you are sorely mistaken.

lol yeah ashes is right. if i do use chrome, i'd like to wait for a later release for them to work out some of the bugs and what not.

IP's can't be easily tracked. I used my IP address to track from what location it is coming from and it is no where near where I live. It seems as if Google Chrome can find that information out much easily.

Lol, you didn't even read the article. IP Address stands for Internet Protocol Address. The IP we are referring to refers to Intellectual Property, basically anything original you may post on blog, forum, or any other like service.

And IP addresses are among the easiest things on internet today to be tracked, what are you talking about? Just about any website you visit knows your IP address. Hell, Ducky can tell you your IP address.

[ib4]

yea w what are you talking about

Google CEO: We Need Gov’t Regulation of Internet Service Providers

Jeff Poor
Business & Media Institute
Thursday, September 4, 2008

Google CEO Eric Schmidt says government regulation of Internet service providers (ISPs) is necessary. In fact, he said he thinks the entire concept of the Internet marketplace relies on it.

Schmidt spoke to conservative bloggers at the Republican National Convention on September 3 in St. Paul, Minn. He warned that if an Internet service provider were too large, it could use its size to create a “protected structure within the Internet” and suggested that would restrict competition – giving some content favorable treatment within its network.

“Let’s imagine the following scenario – who’s the largest Internet provider in the United States today, numerically? Let’s pick Comcast – whoever is the largest,” Schmidt said. “And let’s imagine that they were 80 percent of the market. They would be able to start to do proprietary extensions of protocols and they could eventually use a withholding of information to create a protected substructure within the Internet.”

He reflected on Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) as example of how that could happen. Schmidt’s comments about Microsoft come in the wake of Google’s launch of its own browser, Chrome – meant to compete with the newly launched versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla’s Firefox.

“Now you have to decide if you think that’s an okay outcome,” Schmidt said. “The Internet was based on the principle that that could not happen. You all know and this may also be controversial with this group – I’ve spent 25 years … with Microsoft, which has of course a very large platform market share – who did those kinds of techniques. We can debate whether they were correct or not, but where you come out on that often I think predicts your view on this.”

Opponents of Schmidt’s point of view argue such corporate control hasn’t occurred, and therefore the government should remain hands-off. However, Schmidt argued it is still necessary and justified for the government to intervene just in case a company was able to “get that level of control” over the Internet.

“So the issue is not – there’s no current behavior,” Schmidt said. “So Comcast for example, is not doing the scenario I’m describing. But you worry that when any company – including Google by the way – gets that level of control over something, it can do proprietary extensions. They can make it impossible for competition to occur.”

Last month, FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell warned that government involvement with ISPs and their networks could have a chilling effect and could even mean the possibility of an expansion of the Fairness Doctrine to the Internet.

Here is the idea, Ducky can see our IP's because he let's us. He isn't a third party user that has access to our ISP's. What we post on UOSL2 is regulated by the admin of the board, he has the power to do what he wants with it. A third party can't do that, firefox, netscape, IE, or anyone else.

What google has the ability of doing is watching what we see and what we type. Like any other website UOSL is a public domain, anyone can see it. Many times you need to register onto boards to write or to see certain actions. Google Chrome has the ability to see what we we see on the web.

Say for example you get arrested under false accusation, you get accused for rape when it simply isn't true. Since you use google Chrome, investigators can now link your actions to what you watch or type. Say you watch porn and the porn you were watching in google chrome was one woman raping another woman or a man was raping a woman. This is now admissible in a court of law since you approved google chrome allowing to monitor what you watch, when normally it wouldn't be admissible in a court of law since you need a warrant.

Firefox protects your privacy but google chrome wont.

If someone accuses you of raping a woman and a trail lawyer is looking for even the smallest amounts of evidence to prove that you may have raping tendencies it can go online and on UOSL and bring in a post to court where you mentioned, "Michael Jordan isn't available unless I rape you. " Sure it sounds funny now, but in court evidence like this is always brought in.
