Lightbulb Is it possible? [just a thought]


hey i came across a idea of someone on a other forum.

Quote:
Hey all, i have a unique situation here.

I have a hobby of writing down any techie idea that comes to my mind.

This happened about a year ago, when i first introduced myself to the cool
features of "Portable FireFox"

I immediately thought of an idea of having a way to synchronize browser settings,
and i wrote down about two pages of my idea's/description/implementation details.

And now... i read the news that Google has a new plug in to FireFox, exactly how i
had described (well, i don't know about the implementation yet). Here it is!

That's not the problem. Since i developed this hobby, I used to always type these
ideas into my Gmail account (as Drafts).

I know that there could be thousands of people having/had similar ideas. But the one,
i invented a year back has striking resemblance (stuff like - its should be a plug in, since
sync could be time-consuming FF can have its own mini-login to the plug in, editing these
configurations through a website, and eventually having a cross-browser interoperability
- which i think they are soon going to implement).

This may sound a bit histerical, but is it possible that its because of what i think it is
"For every complex problem, there exists a solution that is simple, concise, and totally wrong"

well this seems highly possible... though not google but an employee could have looked at the notes/emails of that person (after searching all mails in their D/b which they are very good at) .

after all we do not know how these companies(on whome we relay on so easily) manage our data. they wont provide secure data storage for free accounts.

it is highly probable that if a person is into a email service providers database/storage team then they have open access to all the data. and who know s what they might search and read using the so called *supreme search engine* we cant say that the company is at fault directly but the employee is a free willed person can he can do wrong and right.

what else, i am pretty sure that companies like google/yahoo must be using the email content to gather statistics and data on what people do and want in general in order for their service like search/advt to perform better.

i think most will agree that if a persons' mail box is opened to a well trained team then they will be able to tell all about what that person is and what he likes/does/has/thinks/knows. just like in the old detective/scherlock homes movies/stories where the detective looks at the mails and garbage and knows all he wants to about the person thus solving the mistery.
