US Government Fears China Bugs Lenovo PCs 348
An anonymous reader writes "After approving the sale of IBM's PC Division to the Chinese Corporation Lenovo, the US Government has realized China could bug Lenovo PCs destined for US Government customers. Would the US have done the same to China? With American businesses so eager for business in China no matter what, where are we headed?"

Also, this is Scuttle's second dupe in 8 hours. He duped the article about the new New York Applestore. He managed to remove that quickly enough [slashdot.org], though, and I don't think many saw it.
Scuttle Monkey, I give you editors a hard time, but usually it's all in good fun*. But you're just pathetic. Hang it up and go back to work at McDonald's, man! I want my fries hot and crispy, not my slashdot old and stale!
*I give Zonk grief whenever the opportunity arises, but he does a pretty good job on the whole. Now I KNOW I'll get modded down for admitting I think Zonk is a good editor. Well, comparatively good. It's not like the field here is all that competitive. =)

Why do you think China wants Windows source code? (Score:5, Funny)
The Chinese dpo no trust Windows unless they have the source code.
Do you really know what Windows is doing? They is this blob of unknown code that is running on 90% of the world's computers, all under the control of one corporation in the US, a corporation that receives special treatment from the US government.
