Or as the sorcerer dude said in Mortal Kombat: Your Soul Is Mine.
 
I can't see a problem with the text you pasted. Can you tell me which part of it scares you?

Assuming you weren't being sarcastic :)

Anything you send to a web page can become the property of Google, and they can do whatever with that content as you see fit.

So in theory your bank details, your passwords, your personal photos you upload to flicker, anything is theirs.

Okay, that won't hold in real life though. They'd be the suck of the world :p

I only really clicked quote because I want to see Chrome load a few more pages (and even this page loaded impressibely), but people always get very paranoid about this sort of thing.

The chance that google will steal your life savings or any work on the internet.. pretty much zero.

"This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services"

I'd believe them, they'll ruin their reputation by doing anything else.
 
True, I'm not worried so much about their motives, but still - that kind of EULA is not necessary and it's just bullocks and it still makes me lose faith in them.
 
But remember they arent evil...
Whats that gay moto of theres?

Is this evil?
