Google Losing Ground in China?
TG writes "Yahoo is running an article about a recent study released by a Chinese Internet research group that shows Google losing market share to their Chinese rival, Baidu.com. From the article: 'The survey, conducted by the Beijing-based China Internet Network Information Center, reported that Baidu.com Inc. boosted its market share in Beijing by 10.8 percentage points to 52 percent. Google Inc.'s share was at 33 percent, as the American Internet search engine kept its customer base steady while the overall market grew, said the survey, seen Tuesday on CNNIC's Web site.'" Factual analysis or results driven by self interest?
At least there's one country where Ballmer doesn't have to fucking kill Google and Larry Page.

For a minute there I thought we were going to go a WHOLE FUCKING DAY without a story about Google. Thank God for ScuttleMonkey's heroic efforts! He made it in with just 38 minutes to go! Nicely done!
Although I must admit I am more than slightly disturbed that there was a two day period wherein not a single story about Google was posted. Surely the parties involved have been disciplined accordingly.
How the hell does that company have any market share at all? It's in some crazy foreign language or something.
It doesn't even know where Slashdot is!
I can't find slashdot anywhere in the first few pages, but Google shows up a lot.

"Bai" is like "Thai", which means "spicy hot". "Du" is like "dookie", which is what "Bai" food tastes like. Maybe. I dunno. I just translated it by taking those two words from my Asus motherboard manual, flipping back to the English section.
>If Baidu.com basically links you directly to illegal music and movies what's stopping us, I mean certain people's, from using it?
The fact that the Chinese government remixes all mp3's in Mandarin first, to avoid possible WTO sanctions. Would you want to download _this_ from Baidu?nirvana_smells_like_teen_spirit.mp3
