After a big swell of bad press, Google basically sez they screwed up, and will change the wording.
I guess they just routinely slip in language like "all your posts are mine"  just to see if they can get away with it!

A bigger problem they face is security.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

From a security recommendation - "...users [have been advised] to enable the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option within the "Minor Tweaks" tab in the browser preferences. Although this does not fix the underlying vulnerability, selecting this option will warn the user before files are downloaded. Users should still exercise caution when visiting and downloading items from untrusted websites."

Yikes! I did not know that.  (checks "Ask where to save each file before downloading" box)

Another security thing that gets me is the lack of a master password for my saved passwords. Anyone can open up the saved passwords dialog and see all my passwords. Nice.
