Abstract :
One of the newest beta features in the Google Desktop is exposing both theoretical and practical issues about storing data at remote, hosted sites. Search Across Computers, new in Google Desktop 3, lets registered users search the documents on any of their computers via indexed copies stored temporarily on Google servers. The new feature represents only one of many online service innovations that current network capabilities encourage - and current laws allow. Legal scholars have joined technologists to resolve the potential data-exposure risks without stifling the development of new and useful online services.
