Google Readying To Pull Out of China
Sagelinka writes "Both Google and the Chinese government appear to be leaking word that the search firm may soon shutter its operations there as negotiations between the two break down. Google first threatened to halt its operations in China after disclosing in January that an attack on its network from inside China was aimed at exposing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. At the time, Google also said it was reconsidering its willingness to censor search results of users in China as required by the government. 'I think Google thought China would be flexible,' said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group. Google has since been negotiating with the Chinese government to find a way to continue operating in the country. Google did not respond today to requests for comment on the state of the negotiations with China."
Yahoo China has been in operation this whole time. Business as usual for them, filtering and all. But, please, continue with your oh-so-cool snide remarks. Informative and entertaining.
Turning to a Linux advocate for thoughts on Microsoft is like asking Hitler how he felt about the Jews.
The Nexus One is built by HTC in Taiwan. The components are sourced from around the world though (eg. screen is from Samsung/SK).

There is a spark in every single flame bait point.
You mean like when they tried to control everything during the Great Leap Forward by killing and jailing hundreds of thousands of people? Killing all of your scholars really helped make the nation develop slower.
Or are you talking about squashing unarmed protesters? Or are you talking about squashing unarmed protesters?

After repeatedly attempting to go around rather than crush the man, the lead tank stopped its engines, and the armored vehicles behind it seemed to follow suit. There was a pause for a short period of time with the man and the tanks having reached a quiet, still impasse.
After ending the conversation, the man alighted from the tank. The tank commander briefly emerged from his hatch, and the tanks restarted their engines, ready to continue on. At that point, the man, who was still standing within a meter or two from the side of the lead tank, leapt in front of the vehicle once again and quickly reestablished the man-tank standoff. Video footage shows that two figures in blue attire then pulled the man away and absorbed him into the crowd; the tanks continued on their way.
"Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group"
No, Rob Enderle is the Enderle Group.
Based on Rob's reporting history with companies like the SCO Group, Novell, IBM and Microsoft, I've long ago concluded he inhabits his own little fictional world.
This report is quoting quite heavily from Rob the Delusional. If he says Google is going, they're probably staying.
No, he wasn't run over, he was made a nonperson. That doesn't make me feel any better about it.
Grammer Nazis - I mod you "troll" unless you actually add something on-topic. Yes, I know I have mispellings in my sig.
From his wiki page:
Education:
- Orange Coast College -- Associate's Degree in Merchandising
- CSU Long Beach -- BS in 'Man Power'
- PACE U -- certificate in 'Market Analysis'
This guy has always seemed to me to be the very essence of F_ _ _ TARD.
If I want to listen to the mindless ravings of tards, I'll turn on fox-news.
