SaaS advantage -- in testing?

With all the news about google's chrome, and the release of the nerdy (in a good way :) comic, what really struck me was pages 9 through 11.  Got me and Carl Kessler talking. 

SaaS = testing advantage?  In what environments? 

1. Public data, ok yes billions of web pages in every shape and form ==> thorough testing
2. But private data? Private "user" behavior?

Is there some written/unwritten rules on what is permissible?  We had always looked at privacy and data mining.  What about privacy and "software" testing?

BTW, I am blogging this from 37K ft above the ground, on AA's gogo wifi  Pretty cool, high time.

I keep quoting these dead white guys for a reason. We seem to be repeating some particularly nasty history, right now.

Good Point..I have never think like that. We must take in to consideration that What about the "privacy and software testing" ? while looking at data mining.

Our privacy is never being taken into account when it comes to big money.
Just when they hit somebody too important and being sued for invasion of privacy, then some mesures being undertaken. But only then.

I agree with the previous post. Keeping our privacy is never the point.
