... and Google owns everyone's private keys in addition to their medical profile, location (through its new service), interests, etc.
Gears is a client-side technology, so no, Google won't necessary have everyones private keys.
I'll believe you if I onl use a build of Google Gears made by myself from source code having inspected it thoroughly ;)
