China Buys Google

Fry-kun writes "The Register reports that a controlling amount of Google's Class B stock was purchased today a corporate entity owned by the Chinese Ministry of Information." From the article: "Amongst the assets acquired by the Chinese government is NASA's Ames Research Center. Google announced a partnership with Ames last year, and, as it turns out, the move laid the groundwork for the takeover by the PRC. The Chinese will gain control of the world's largest wind tunnels - devices that when opened up could be used to push the smell of Mu Shu Pork across much of Silicon Valley, or conversely be used to spread avian bird flu, or mind-altering substances."

Re:Glad only few "GMT time" before it's April 2nd

Yeah I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets tired of this stupid shit. It's not even funny, just juvenile for the most part. Check other news sites and see how many of them are running "April Fools" jokes (outside of their normal sensationalistic crap). This is officially the one day of the year I'd rather read CNN/FOX news than slashdot.
