I'm using a Google Chrome Portable browser for my offline app. But I'm not sure if I can use it for commercial purposes. Please can anybody give advise if there's such a browser, that is completely free. Or is there really simple way how to create my own.. What I want is to show a html file in that browser. It doesn't need to have any address bar, etc. I've already searched how to create a browser, but I am not really good in programming languages, I only manage web pages, so I don't know which would be the best way.
Thank you for your answer.
You can use it for commercial purpose as per their EULA. See point 21.
Additional Terms for Enterprise Use
If you are a business entity, then the individual accepting on behalf of the entity (for the avoidance of doubt, for business entities, in these Terms, "you" means the entity) represents and warrants that he or she has the authority to act on your behalf, that you represent that you are duly authorized to do business in the country or countries where you operate, and that your employees, officers, representatives, and other agents accessing the Service are duly authorized to access Google Chrome and to legally bind you to these Terms.
Subject to the Terms, and in addition to the license grant in Section 9, Google grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to reproduce, distribute, install, and use Google Chrome solely on machines intended for use by your employees, officers, representatives, and agents in connection with your business entity, and provided that their use of Google Chrome will be subject to the Terms.

You are not the only one searching for an answer https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/xuyg5tSad08
This is the first answer I got when I searched a bit
"Google Chrome is totally free for commercial and personal use." I found this on http://www.technibble.com/google-chrome-portable-internet-browser/

I've searched the Google Developer site and general help. I can find information on reporting violations of my copyright. I can't find information on reporting a site that explicitly fosters copyright violations using Google's services. Specifically the site uses Google image search (I believe but am not certain using Google API) to return images based on user keyword search. The images are presented hot-linked to their original source. So far - no problem. There is also a link to the original source - no problem. BUT the site offers the user the "service" of making modifications to the image - primarily upsizing and removing backgrounds - then the resulting modified image is stored on that site and the user invited to download the result.
They now filter out some sites - those most likely to want to enforce their copyrights - but continue to display copyright images, and creative commons images in ways that violate the license terms. So I can't easily report infringement of my own work - undoubtedly I can find it but the core problem is the service, not just my work.
Google Ads are inserted throughout the search results.
It seems offering to modify images without the permission of the rights holder would violate Google terms of service? But how do I report it? I looked at many report forms - nothing seems to fit.
Laws vary by country. You need to contact a lawyer.
Did you register your copyright with the Copyright Office and did you receive a copyright? If yes, then you have a registration number.
Was the image attached to a tangible object such as a magazine advertisement, poster, book, box, dish plate, etc? If not, then you probably do not have a copyright that will stand in court.
It is not as simple as reporting an unfair use. You must demonstrate your legal standing on the issue and not your opinion and that usually requires going to court. If you provide your copyright registration, most vendors will review the issue. Send a certified letter to their registered business or legal address.
We have a web application that occasionally receives web request that we detect as attempts to inject SQL code, from Google virtual servers (Compute Engine).
I was asked to find a way to identify who is responsible for said machines, so that we can take the corresponding legal actions on our part, or at least, confirm that Google shut down those servers.
What I need is to find a way to communicate with Google, by email or chat, but I haven't found information about it.
EDIT 1:
I have tried to communicate with Google to indicate the information I am looking for, but the only contact available in my case is with the billing department, which could not confirm that they will give me that information if I buy a technical assistance package. On the other hand, I understand that this package is to review requirements of the applications that you own, but in my case I am looking for legal information.
What was recommended to me was to enter the corresponding application in
https://support.google.com/code/contact/cloud_platform_report?hl=en
but I have not received a response for weeks.
I am disappointed in Google, especially because of the importance of computer security.
I will keep searching information.
You can find all information concerning Tech support, phone support and Chat support in your Google Cloud console. Also, this doc shows different supports based on your support role or package.
I wondering create a Cloud website, that offers cloud storage for users to have their images, videos... safe in cloud, and I'm thinking to use a G-Drive account for it, since I have a good space on my Google Account. But I read Google Terms, and I'm not sure if this is allowed by Google or a legal thing.
If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business
accepts these terms. It will hold harmless and indemnify Google and
its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claim, suit
or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or
violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising
from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and
attorneys’ fees.
Does anyone know something about it? Will I have problems if I go on with this project?
My apologies, I'm not sure if this kind of question it's allowed here, so forgive me if it's not.
I know that GeoLocating requires elevated trust from the user in order to get the location.
Is that part of the standard?
Is the trust level elevation part of the standard?
Which features requires user permission?
do i need to give permission for each feature seperately? or is it "trust-mode" on/off ? can the website keep the permission? or is it just per session?
I'm just starting to get ino HTML 5 myself, so I am going to try to answer as best I can. From what I understand it is not necessarily an "elevated trust" (sounds alot like Microsoft UAC term). Its more of a "granting of permission" for a site to access the user's location.
W3C - http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html#security
The API defined in this specification is used to retrieve the geographic location of a hosting device. In almost all cases, this information also discloses the location of the user of the device, thereby potentially compromising the user's privacy. A conforming implementation of this specification must provide a mechanism that protects the user's privacy and this mechanism should ensure that no location information is made available through this API without the user's express permission.
The way each browser implements this is up to the browser maker (ie google, microsoft, mozilla). For instance chrome will ask for permission for a domain and save that domain in a list of sites that can access the geo location feature. This works in the same way a pop up blocker has a list websites that are ok to "allow pop ups from".
So, I guess its hard to answer your question becuase it depends on the browswer and how those features are implemented.
Is that part of the standard? Is the trust level elevation part of the standard?
Kind of, yea. The standard says to implement some kind of a mechanism.
Which features requires user permission?
Sorry can't say for certain regarding this becuase I am not familiar enough will all the features of the standard. But I am pretty sure that access hardward like camera will be included in this list.
Do i need to give permission for each feature seperately? or is it "trust-mode" on/off?
I would think so, but this again will depend on the browswer makers "implementation" of the standards.
Can the website keep the permission? or is it just per session?
This would also depend on the browser, I can tell you that Chrome keeps a list once permission is granted (at least for geo location). You can then remove the permission later. I am not sure if they it is the same for other features with crhome.
Hope it helps.
I have to architect a commercial vehicle fleet tracking system.
Each vehicle (a few 100, max a few 1,000) will have a GPS and satellite transmitter and will periodically report its position. Positions will be stored in a database and used to create a Google Map.
There will of course be other functionalities. Security, log in, etc and probably lots of interaction with other corporate databses (drivers start/stop time for salary purposes, etc).
Question: pure GoogleMaps is probably best implemented as a browser based app (Php & MySql?), but with the additional functionality of a commercial vehicle fleet tracking system, would it be better doing something PC based (Windows/Linux)?
Any other advice? Thanks
I think with the capabilities of modern browsers, along with various mature client-side frameworks, we are witnessing an always thinning distinction between web and desktop interfaces.
You may want to take into consideration that a web application automatically solves some important problems for you:
Distribution: No need to distribute your application. Simply provide a URL.
Updates: Upgrading and fixing problems in your software will be easier and quicker if you distribute it through a web interface.
Security: Deriving from the above, you are able to fix security vulnerabilities more promptly.
Compatibility: Your application will be able to work on any operating system that can launch a web browser.
Last but not least, remember that the Google Maps API is not free for this type of application. Article 10.9.C of Google Maps API Terms and Conditions explicitly restrict using the standard Google Maps API for fleet management and asset tracking. You would need the Google Maps API Premier to legally use Google Maps for your application.
According to one unofficial source (dated April 2008), this would cost USD 10,000 per year, which entitles you to track 100 vehicles. If you exceed the 100 vehicles, you would need to add USD 24 per additional vehicle per year.
Implement solution for the domain problems first. It means data storage, data transmission between vehicles and your system, methods of data analysis, aggregation and visualisation.
These will likely to sit as a head-less system on a server and provide access to it remotely, in both directions: to input data and to query data.
Now, PC or Web is more related to presentation on a client side. You can make both if you like. Web client as well as desktop application can serve as a client to remote data and operational server.
Don't forget that you can always host a web control in a thick client app. This is actually trivial with .Net on the Windows platform with the IE control. You can also access the browser's DOM this way and do some neat things. So just because there's a strong web component to what you're doing you're not necessarily "stuck" writing a pure web app.
One big question is what kind of hardware you'll be able to put in the vehicles. Will they be laptops or small PCs with full fledged OSs or something more mobile like CE or a pared-down Linux distro?
Google Maps is JavaScript based so you can do most things with it, e.g browser based, widgets, etc. However due to the licensing Google won't allow you to use it in anything other than an Internet environment unless you use there Enterprise License.
In terms of integrating it into other systems, its really difficult to say what's best without knowing what other software you are using, what protocols they use, are web services available, etc. I agree with Daniel though in that any distributed system not implemented in a browser better have some good reasons not to, simply because the benefits are substantial. You'll need to weight them up though with a full break down of all the different systems you will need to interact with and work out what fits best.
The great thing is that with it being JavaScript based you have a lot of flexibility in what you can do with it.
This is more an extension to #Daniel Vassallo's answer. Although a web based application would solve most problems there may be the small potential issue of bandwidth usage and reception for internet access. This may or may not be an issue for the fleet management, depending on how that is tackled on the hardware side of things.
An offline solution may assist with this issue but then a clever architect could find a way to create an initial web based solution which can be accessed with an offline application which can pick up the slack and/or provide predictive reasoning until a connection is re-established.
