Google Desktop 3, which was released last Wednesday, has a feature that's raising they eyebrows of security-types. The Search Across Computers feature lets users of Google Desktop 3 simultaneously search files stored on multiple computers, but the EFF is warning that Google will copy the files to its servers, and that "the government could then demand these personal files with only a subpoena rather than the search warrant it would need to seize the same things from your home or business, and in many cases you wouldn't even be notified in time to challenge it." Search Across Computers is not enabled by default, but you might want to think twice about turning it on.
