Posted by kdawson on from the get-over-it dept.

bonch writes "In a surprising statement to CNBC, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told reporter Maria Bartiromo, 'If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.' This will only fuel concerns about Google's behavior as it becomes an ever more powerful gatekeeper of information; though Google says it is aware of these concerns and has taken steps to be transparent to users about the information that is stored."

    I am a supporter of a free Tibet, and would love nothing more than to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama returned to his rightful place in Tibet.

    Why support a theocratic man who pretends to be divine? I just don't get this stuff, sure he smiler a lot and looks cute. But WTF he thinks he is divine for christs sake. Have you seen the kind of court he keeps... ridiculous
