Googles new Chrome Browser looks seriously promising and could very well put a major dent in the Microsoft IE domination that is already falling to Firefox. Yesterday when the first beta went live for PC users only (yes, I'm very upset about that) thousands downloaded and started using it. But first they had to agree to a EULA, and thus begins a serious mistake on Google part.By agreeing and downloading, users agreed to giving up ownership of ANYTHING created and published with and during the use of Chrome:
11. Content license from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

You agree that this license shall permit Google to take these actions.
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above license.
Oh Dang Google, you know I'm a HUGE fan of just about everything you do (except for streetview) but this, this is something else entirely. This has to be fixed, even if you promise to never uphold it. It's not necessary, not at all. We're talking about a browser here, not a secret contracted government experiment. Or are we?
Iran hanged 29 people at dawn on Sunday after they had been convicted of rape, armed robbery, murder, drug trafficking and other crimes. All were hanged inside Evin prison, north of the capital.
150 people have been executed in Iran so far this year, and International human rights groups have accused Iran of making excessive use of the death penalty, hmmmmmm, well, the US have executed 15 so far this year .....
