Google Committed to Chinese Business

Snowgen writes "Despite this week's earlier story that hinted Google may consider pulling out of China over the topic of censorship, Reuters is now quoting Sergey Brin as saying that 'Google Inc. is committed to doing business in China despite criticism the company has faced for abiding by Chinese government censorship restrictions.'" More from the article: "Brin told a small group of invited journalists: 'I think it's perfectly reasonable to do something different. Say, OK, let's stand by the principle against censorship and we won't actually operate there ... That's an alternative path. It's not the one we've chosen to take right now'."

The article goes on to say:

Brin said these words as a group of stockholders stood behind him holding a shotgun and several cattle prods

Google better should do so as U.S. one will bust

As the Telcos got what they wanted to get to do with internet, i suspect that almost all of us will be vying for the freedom and equal opportunity of the internet in china.

Google should do wise to stay in china, as the thing closest to internet as we know it will only exist in china after some 6-12 months, thanks to 'Telecommunications OPPORTUNITY' act.

What "opportunity" this is i wonder ... Opportunity to f.ck up the biggest technological&international revolutiuon in the history of the world ?

How does that old saying go?

Famous Last Words

China: It seems that in your anger, you killed her.
Brin: I... I couldn't have. She was alive. I felt her. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Brin said these words as a group of stockholders stood behind him holding a shotgun and several cattle prods

All while dancing, nubile imperial concubines and heavy sacks of pristine tea leaves and silk dangled seductively directly in front of the podium.

Yahoo is less evil than Google

[PietjeJantje]

They are equally "evil", except that Google claims in their company motto they are not, which adds to the evilness. It is like MS having as a compay motto: "Open source - Lovin' it".
