Google Fires Blogger?
Thomas Hawk writes "CNET is reporting that Mark Jen, a blogger whose candid comments about life on the job at Google sparked controversy last month, has left the company. CNET reports that it is not clear if he resigned or was fired but references a post at Google Blogoscoped where it was suggested that he may have been fired over his blog Ninetyninezeros. Given Google's push into the blogging space with their recent acquisition of Blogger it might be interesting to see how this shakes out."
Maybe kids these days will learn that you can't just shoot off your mouth without consequences? Damn brats -- their parents took their backtalk, and now they explode into the workforce and are in for a rude awakening. HAHAHAHAHAHAA!
And it's about damned time. I have been telling people that they are evil for years. You ever see those movies where the preacher is all holier than holy. And then by the end he is Satan and he has lead everyone to their doom. Thats Google they act too nice to be good they are surly covering up something. Besides they remind me of a corporate Heavens Gate all new age and stuff. I wonder who they want to ride the comet?
Hmm, a googol minus one should be ninety nine nines, not zeros, right?
That's why they fired him.

US & allies kill most Iraqis [bbc.co.uk]
It appears you haven't followed the link in your sig recently. The BBC has come out and issued an apology for incorrectly reporting the deaths. They have updated that page with the apology.
More info from Reuters.
The BBC apologised on Saturday for erroneously reporting that U.S.-led and Iraqi forces may be responsible for the deaths of 60 percent of Iraqi civilians killed in conflict over the last six months.
Iraq's health minister said the BBC misinterpreted the statistics it had received and had ignored statements from the ministry clarifying the figures.
