Just because you have "nothing to hide" doesn't mean it should be seen by anybody who wants to. If you're American, you probably also don't care about the wiretapping procedures, telecom immunity, etc. :confused:

I prefer being able to keep my privacy whenever possible, as anybody with a level head should. ;)

Oh someone thinks their clever and wants to take a crack at someone's country. Well that's cool...

Even here in America, I would definitely prefer not to have someone able to read my messages. In the case of wiretapping, nobody would care enough to pay to have my house tapped and I am willing to give that chance to ensure a higher level of safety.

Nice generalizations. :p

Downloaded and added aim and yahoo accounts. A bunch of my buddies are missing from the "Buddies" list. AIM seems to at least have better organization of your buddies (online, offline, etc.). They have some work cut out for them.

Is it just me being paranoid, or does anyone else have a problem with giving al their account info to sign-in? I get why they need it, but for my .mac account for example this essentially gives them access to my mails and even the files on my computer via 'back to my mac'

Mine has yet to even let me connect to MobileChat. When I open the program, there's always some message about server overload and "be patient with us." I think I'm already regretting being an early adopter.

I'm American myself, so I'm taking a crack at my own country. You think your house isn't wiretapped? Well, if you use the Internet (and you obviously do) or have a phone line (or cell phone), you're more than likely being recorded, tapped, or having some kind of information gathered on you without you even realizing it. ;) Read up on some politics, and you'll see things are a lot worse off in the privacy field than they should be.

You are wrong. Just wrong. I am currently in DC and have a very good friend working in the Pentagon and others at the FBI. My friend at the Pentagon had to submit his cellphone number so they could tap it and he agreed to that. While they may not need his consent, they needed to know which one to tap. Do you actually know how wiretapping is done? Do you have any actual sources where as someone could "Read up on some politics?" I don't think so.

So, as it turns out, I am not as naive as you think.

About MC3 though. I don't know if it has enough features to make it better than any alternative for me to warrant 3 bucks.
