This may not be travel but we all live on the net so it's relevant to the any audience. Before downloading the new Google Chrome web browser, be sure to read all the fine print in the terms of service. Especially:
"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. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the services and may be revoked for certain services as defined in the additional terms of those services."
Yowser.
Edit: Ok, so we all knew THAT couldn't last. As of 2 p.m. PT, it looks as if the terms now simply read: "Section 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."
I should think so! They snarf enough information from us without taking our own property from us.
