An interesting tidbit here. Apparently the city of Los Angeles is contemplating moving their computer networks into the cloud. Namely, Google Apps. Not entirely sure about this one from a privacy aspect.
From Associated Press:
The nation’s second-largest city is considering dumping its in-house computer network for Google Inc. e-mail and office programs that are accessed over the Internet. But the city police union says it doesn’t have enough information to determine if sensitive witness and investigation files will be secure from hackers.
I would like to believe that this would be a viable option for Los Angeles but, there have been a few too many issues with respects to Google app security to leave me, and others, with a sense of calm.
