Google has unveiled a new service- Dashboard-that would allow users to see what information it holds on them.

The launch of Google dashboard is the search giant’s answer to critics who argue its dominance of the web allows it to collect too much personal data.

The page lists details of the Google products and services the account-holder uses, from which YouTube videos have been viewed to details of their Gmail inbox.

It acts as a one-stop-shop for people with accounts to adjust their privacy settings or delete content.

While the dashboard only shows what a user does when logged into a Google service, it reveals the breadth of the information collected.

“Some concerns have been raised about Google and privacy in the past few years and we always try to take proactive steps. No one asked us for this,” Sky News quoted Google spokesman Anthony House as saying.

“The information you’re seeing, we’ve always been transparent about that. But it has never been easy for people to go to one place.

“For many people, what you’re seeing is not a surprise but others might remember they signed up for a service they don’t use anymore… They can make a more informed choice,” he added.

He admitted that it was “not a total coincidence” that the dashboard was unveiled during a meeting of privacy regulators in Madrid, Spain.

Meanwhile, bloggers offered a mixed response to the launch.

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. Don’t you want to get it back for your self? Here is the trick how to get 100% of your available bandwidth.

To get it back:

Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes. This opens the “group policy editor” and go to: “Local Computer Policy” Then “Computer Configuration” Then “Administrative Templates” Then select “Network” then “QOS Packet Scheduler” After that select “Limit Reservable Bandwidth”.

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.” By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
