#1 Sorry to say that a lot of the mutual funds in my 401K have Google stock because I do believe that it is going to tank with management decisions like this.

#3 Perhaps Google should change their motto from "Don't Be Evil" to "Be Evil for a Few Yuan".

#4 China's country and root server, China's rules. You want to play in someone's backyard you gotta play by their rules. I would expect no less from other countries doing buisness here (free speech!)
However, let this be a BIG lesson to what would happen if the UN and their cronies ever got a hold of the Global root servers. China can do what they want with their country root server, but they can never have the global ones. Free Speech lives baby!

#5 But they won't help out the US gov't in a child porn investigation. I'm really starting to dislike them.

#6 I am calling bull shit on the "won't help governmet in child porn investigation."

The facts. Google will not give the government any unindentifiable global info on searches performed by it's search engine just because the DOJ asked. They don't have to. They don't have to give trade secrets and neither do you or your employer until a court of law asks. Then that info will be submitted under seal. Got it? Thats has nothing to do with a "child porn" investigation.
