Google may indeed have a hard time ahead of it, especially legally. It's legal bills are certainly going to be a large amount of their budget. Personally, Google scares me - they're a giant, and they succeed at almost everything they do, and what's almost worse - they usually have good products. This sounds good, but it just means they're entering more and more arena's, as the article says, and what happens when one day they control everything?
What happens? Awesome happens!

Our wonderful rational mind came up with rationality. The fact that you can judge humanity indicates that we are doing something morally right. But note that morality has nothing to do with survival.
Stick with coffee and drink it in moderation (1-2 cups per day).
Drink water when not drinking coffee.
We computer people already spend hours sitting relatively motionless at our desks. Adding calorie intensive drinks to that habit isn't the smartest thing to do.
History of Texas: taken from Mexico even more harshly than China took Tibet.
History of Central America: oh please. Tell me that you've heard of the United Fruit Company and its ties to the US Government. We overthrew a democratic government to install a sympatheic dictator in Guatemala and you think that isn't worth mentioning regarding human rights?
You've never used ubuntu (or gentoo) linux before eh? All the apps and toys and stuff you could want just waiting for you to tell it to download.
Yes, it will mean that PC games don't work. Oh well. There are many many many many many people who don't use their desktop computers as gaming consoles and want to: surf the web, check the email, play the solitare.

WTF did you think Google was doing? Bringing all their technical prowess to bear and create an über-filter?!
They are complying with the Chinese government's censorship rules, nothing more. They know that it's the only way that they'll get google in China AND they know that there is absolutely no way that the Chinese government's blacklist will block *everything*.
Rock, hard place; so they chose to go into China knowing that it would be more for the good even though they likely knew that their rabid fanbase would blast them for it.
Not that their rabid fanbase holds the moral high ground, or else they'd be crying to "Free Texas" instead of "Free Tibet". Comparing China's treatment of its people in its first fifty years (CCP took power in 1949) to that of the United States in its first two hundred and fifty there's no contest what with the treatment of Indians, slaves, Mexicans, Central America, and every other minority group.

No one said the design was intelligent. We designed ourselves with what we had available. Unfortunately that means that we contain quite a lot of legacy body parts and features and get problems like appendix issues, wisdom teeth problems, a back that isn't completely suited to standing, a windpipe sharing our food intake, etc.
What? More people didn't play Ms. Pacman on the 7800? That sucks, awesome port. Although as a younger kid I could never get to the pretzel levels like my older brother.
But if you want serious fun, play Mail Order Monsters. Hell yeah.
Wow. Please provide evidence. If needed you can link directly to a book on amazon or whatever, I don't mind.
You might want to do stuff like: look up frog populations, the state of the arctic ice sheet, and learn about how global warming is an AVERAGE increase in temperature and many areas WILL see DECREASES in temperature as the climate system grows more chaotic.
Drink|Eat|Smoke more|less of whatever it is you are doing now. Burden of proof is on the one claiming harm? Where the hell have you ever seen that posited?
A better rule would be: anyone making claims must provide proof for those claims, especially when they go against other evidence. Ever hear that adage about extraordinary claim and extraordinary proof? Look it up.
GP claims we have "more forests" than ever. A laughable claim so the onus of providing proof is on the person making the extraordinary claim.
I can't "guess again" an observation. If I had stated "You know nothing about Chinese history." then I could guess again.
So explain your "murdered 77 million" bit. To even get close to that you have to use Rummel's recent recalcuations in which you count the deaths resulting from the Three Years of Natural Disasters (which would be a hell of stretch to call "murder", unless you blame Mao for the weather in addition to his stupidity).
WoW is a fantasy world and they just want to take the issues of contemporarly[sic] life out of it.
One of the issues in contemporary life is ostracism and bigotry. Can you understand why a gay person would want to leave those issues behind and have a great time gaming with friendly people?
You can't play Advance games with the touch pad, even though they are backward compatible.
You wouldn't be able to play original DS games with the analog stick, even though they would be backward compatible.
Backwards compatibility means that you can play the games on the new system, not that the old games can take advantage of the new features in the new system.

I don't think I'm in the minority when I say that I don't play graphics.
:-/
Yeah, us text adventure fans are a dying breed.
Wing Commander 2 was the pinnacle of that series. The perfect amount of cut scenes, good plot, good action, good graphics.
Although I did find a lot of enjoyment in dominating the killboard and medal ceremonies in WC1.

Ever hear of the TDI engine from Volkswagon? My wife and I have a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta (Wagon) with the TDI engine and get an *average* of 50 mpg.
Solid car, great safety record (http://www.internetautoguide.com/crash-tests/09-

Ha! What do you think the rest of the store (generally excepting drinks, cereal, and snacks) is doing?
Ever wonder what people do with all those funky things called vegetables, or did you think that they were ALL for salads?
How about that wide assortment of meats?
Lasagna noodles? Rotini? etc?
Flour is used for more than flour tortillas.
