This war could be really hard. But in the end, it's the Chinese people who lose, not Google nor the Chinese "government".
Nah... Google loses period. The Chinese people will find a way to the data and sites they want to get to. Google on the other hand will lose out in Revenue. For instance, from the article it says contracts are already being canceled and the android roll out will be canceled. Yup, google loses.
Not very interesting. China says play by our rules or get out. Google needs China more than China needs google. IMOP, this is just one way China get's to squash western competition from entering into China in the search space.

Awesome!

I'll bet there will be no returning for Jobs. Sad news but a lesson to all. A company should never be about "A" person. None of us are eternal.
