Google Blacklists CNet Reporters

An anonymous reader writes "Cnet News.com is reporting that Google is no longer talking to Cnet reporters. In an article about the search company looking for new executive chefs, the article states: 'Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News.com reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story.' Apparently, Google was angered by an article published earlier by Cnet where all sorts of personal information about Google CEO Eric Schmidt was included. The information was obtained from Google searches."

    It didn't have a very positive impact on the 200,000 people it killed outright or who subsequently died from injuries including radiation-based ones which are still causing mutations and suffering today.

    Yeah, yeah, I've read all about how it `ended the war`. Japan wasn't a threat to Europe or America - the Americans were just pissed because of the `sneaky suprise attack` on America. Only America could be attacked years into a world war and claim it was some sort of suprise. The dropping of the A-Bombs on Japanese civilians started a new era of US foreign policy which continues to the present day.
