All is revealed on the webpage. Nice looking bit of kit but not as
expandable as others on the market.

Google and conspiracy theory...
by staffslug＠staffslug.org.uk
Just lately the subject of personal data and Google has cropped up on
another list I am on. Google, as we all know, do have some ambitious
plans for its service. Some of which would indeed entail gathering a
fair bit of user data. They obviously claim that this data will not
be abused or left insecure... yeah right pull the other one.
Anyway, I noticed this morning that, if you have GMail open they seem
to have added a little bit to it. It's seemingly innocuous but I
can't help but wonder. Look at the lower half of the Gmail screen.
It gives you the details of how long ago your current IP address was
last being used (presumably to connect to Google).
As I say probably harmless... but is it. Have Google made sure that
information is secure? I don't know and I haven't seen any details
about it either. I don't know whether I can opt out of that data
being bounced back to my screen.
Just wondering :-)
