Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

				Is this email not displaying properly? View it in your browser.
Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.		Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.		Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.
Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).		Got questions? We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)
Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

Issue 40 January 2012 Happy New Year and welcome to the January issue of the ActiveState Newsletter! In this issue you'll find: Stackato Offers Secure Multi-Tenancy on HP Cloud Services Upcoming Webcast: Application Portability in the Cloud Komodo IDE 7 Screencast: Deploying Apps with Stackato As always, please feel free to drop us a line if you have ideas for future issues or feedback.   The ActiveState Team Stackato Offers Secure Multi-Tenancy on HP Cloud Services ActiveState is pleased to offer Stackato's secure multi-tenancy capabilities for HP Cloud Services, HP's next generation of cloud infrastructure and solutions, currently in beta. While some PaaS offerings rely on user-based Unix security, ActiveState's Stackato is the first PaaS to bring lxc-based containerization to the HP Cloud, creating a more trusted, commercial-grade level of security to private PaaS deployments. To see Stackato working with HP Cloud Services, we've provided a short screencast. Watch the screencast. Read the blog post to learn more. Upcoming Webinar: Application Portability in the Cloud Date: Wednesday, Feb. 8 Time: 10 AM PT / 1 PM EST Space is limited so register now! The ability to move applications--for instance, from a private to a public cloud, or from one hosting provider to another--is a holy grail of cloud computing. But with a little planning, application portability in the cloud can be attained. Cloud-vendor solutions typically impose inflexible limitations, forcing IT leaders to commit to specific hypervisors, infrastructure, and APIs. That reliance on vendor-specific technology can prevent organizations from realizing the full benefits of the cloud: reduced costs, greater efficiency, on-demand scaling, disaster recovery, and deployment flexibility. In this webinar, we'll share insights and trends to help your organization avoid vendor lock-in and easily move applications from one cloud to another without major re-engineering. We will highlight: Why portability matters in private & public clouds Understanding & identifying your applications' cloud dependencies Emerging trends & issues affecting cloud application portability Creating a cloud strategy optimized for portability Choosing a technology stack for portability Implementing a portable cloud strategy with PaaS Spaces are filling up quickly. Register now to reserve your spot. Komodo IDE 7 Screencast: Deploying Apps with Stackato In case you haven't heard, the upcoming Komodo IDE 7 will have an integrated Stackato client interface for developing, debugging and deploying apps to your private cloud.
