EVE Information Portal

I don't necessarily believe that CCP has an ulterior motive or that they are going to be malicious with the tool. I simply like to review what data is being presented from my computer, especially when it has the possibility of leaking information, not unintentionally, due to a missed flag.

I work with confidential information, and occasionally I work from home. It's necessary for me to be able to be sure that no confidential information is transmitted along with an eve crash report due to it being miscoded.

You do realize that your computer already sends an endless stream of data to CCP that you are not pre-approving. That is the command stream. And if CCP was out to hijack your disk content, they could easily slip/mix that data into the command stream.
Granted it would take forever at low rates that did not raise your suspicion but then again you are logged on forever.

Or do you use a laptop with Wire Shark to continuously monitor EVE's outgoing data stream? How do you know that the garbage characters aren't your data going out in encrypted format?

Frankly setting your WIndows or Macfile system security up right is your best way of protecting user data not stored in EVE directories. Oh you can also encrypt your private data too. But keep in mind you can lose it too if the password data gets corrupted and is not saved in regular backups (i.e. nobody can break encryption easily for unknown keys - no even you). So before encrypting ask yourself if its better to lose your data should something go wrong. Or is that worse than someone else stealing it?

There is a history of corporate interests including potentially damaging/malicious code in their official releases. Sony's rootkit DRM software and Realplayer's introduction of Spyware to the world come immediately to mind.

Keeping CCP's rather rough customer relations over the past year or so in mind, I think it's only reasonable that people might be hesitant to allow CCP to record information from their computer without first reviewing it. That the response here was an immediate "yes" is an encouraging sign.

I am not perticularly concerned about CCP attempting to spy on me. I am, like Solo Drakban, concerned that a misconfigured crash report could draw more data than it was intended to, and unfortunately I'm required to care about that sort of thing.

I got something that would improve my xp reading the Dev Blog Posts A LOT.

Change the background image so the contrast between text and background isn't messed up in every line in the first
4 paragraphs (in the current post)

I always see myself twitching and sometimes even copying the text to a editor for un-annoyed reading.
.. after hitting command+ so the font size get's readable (to bad i cant do that in-game)

Don't worry ccp aren't worried about your goat pron and the fact you play hello kitty online at the same time as eve. The old adage of if you have nothing to hide with the eve client why worry. Plus if there is no personal infp they won't know about your bots and python injections :-p

I like the blog! I like the improvements! I like the quick response and promise of action for those who want to opt-out! I look forward to automatically submitting crash reports from my Mac!

I also look forward hopefully to eventual expansions of the feature to not-only-crashes, e.g.: "Hm, my pilot's face is bright blue, click 'Submit Log and Screenshot of Bug,'" kind of thing.

Very nice... fix drones too - thank you.

I want to quash this argument right at the beginning. Everybody has something to hide. Maybe not in the EVE client, but that's why people want to check what data is actually being transmitted. It's not your business to know whether I have a porn site open in my browser, or if I'm watching a live stream of Bill O'Reilly.
