Either they have no faith in Google Docs' abilities to er, process words, or someone somewhere who is more likely to be using Word is trying to implicate Google through the use of evil metadata. Apply your own Twilight Zone music and trenchcoats as you see fit.

More likely their lawyers did...

I love it when people get caught out like this, I loved even more that someone at Google is using M$ Word over their own product! Awesome work guys, two birds one stone ;)

Still stinks.

The downer is eBay and PayPal are worse shitehawks.

Life would be much easier if the bad guys ALWAYS lost and were ALWAYS in the wrong.

...Just pay some lawyers to do that sort of thing for you.

Like f*cking over one of your largest customers in secret when you're trying and failing to set yourself up as their competitor.

Sweet.

Mark Dowling will probably be correct.

And anyway, does anyone know if Google Docs can print to PDF?

I don't know, but if I wanted to discredit Google or any other organisation for that matter, couldn't I (as a non-google employee) create a document which I called "from Google", renamed to something else, submitted anonymously and then organised an accomplice to mysteriously discover the original title ?

Hi,

Google is probably just following the requirements of this agency they're filing with. However Google should have scanned the pdf the agency filed publicly first, if they wanted to be anonymous, and who knows what they wanted?

For merchants, PayPal is very expensive when compared to alternatives. Its also very cumbersome to use, IMO.

stop sneaking about behind the scenes google and just launch your own damned auction site! the revenue you lose due to ebay [temporarily!] pulling its advertising will be a drop in the ocean compared to the income you gain from the stampede of disgruntled ebay users, clamouring to sign up.

Check it out, now they're sending shills to diss paypal on any comments page matching +google +paypal.

I stopped having anything to do with both of them about 3 years ago. I don't trust them and they don't care about security

If anyone knows a decent, honest, auction site I would be interested

Just go to File -> Properties and the title is viewable from there!

Bzzt-beep-beep.

Or, in English, "I don't trust Paypal either, and don't forget it takes some of the money made by selling an item. A cheque doesn't cost me or the seller anything, so guess how I pay..."

Boop-Dee-doop.

Translated, that one means "On the gripping appendage, your comment was obviously meant as a joke, so as another robotic shill I was obviously too literal to see it." :-)
