First when you're a guest you have to play by the house rules.
And China can't handle CIA sponsored like Iran or Venezuela had. So for the greater good bye bye google.

Comment Or they could do full disclosure (Score 1) 689
Instead of adding more noise to conspiracy theorists why not go full disclosure like making available all info on aliens, 9/11, etc ?
Remember the 9/11 pentagon tapes ? why not release it ASAP ? something to hide uhm ?
No need to use FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), just make the stuff available. People want the truth of course ! and while they do not have it with they'll make that into a holy quest.

Former Intel CEO Andy Grove Wants Struggling Industries To Stop Slacking 235
lousyd writes "Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel and current instructor at Stanford Business School, has a message for industry. He believes that health care and energy, especially, could learn a lesson from computing's innovative and relatively government-free history. He asks students to imagine if mainframe vendors had asked government to prop them up in the same way that General Motors recently was. On the issue of computer patents, he insists that firms must use their patents or lose them: 'You can't just sit on your a** and give everyone the finger.'"

The marketing picture used in the link makes use of a visual illusion that is achieved by overlapping the two tyres surfaces from opposite corners. This effect draws a tyre that is very wide and we associate it with power and stability.

Comment metagovernment and radical transparency (Score 1) 554
In the age of the web 2.0 we still do not have a meta-government made by the people to the people. With principles like radical transparency, like the ones we learned from editing wikipedia.
I believe it is a question of having someone to blame... like some server farm that chooses microsoft over some opensource distro. They like to pass the blame to other guys. As long as that happens we, or at least until a greater percentage of the population becomes wiser to choose their own policies, we will be stuck in Soft Despotism. But hey, google also took some decades to happen, so it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
