For the record, the "hosted web browser" is only used during the development cycle and even then it's optional. And your post's title and tone are reckless.
We were already auditioning China for the antagonist role when 9/11 happened. Remember that whole ruckus conscerning the Air Force reconnaissance plane that crash landed on that Chinese island touching off an international brouhaha? Hmmm, I wonder aloud whatever became of that situation.
Seriously, what's with the "haha" tag, Slashdot; engaging in a little schadenfreude are we? It's almost as if Myspace.com is the epitome of some high school clique of dumb jocks and bimbo cheerleaders whilst Slashdot, standing on the other side of the fence looking on longingly, is the pimply-faced kid wearing a Viking helmet who does 2xD12 damage in melee attacks.
I've got news for you, Slashdot, the world is grey. People can and do belong to both sites.
What the hell is the RIAA going to say anyway?! They're playing for the same team which is out to f*ck individuals such as you and me. Just more of the same from the well-heeled, government-sponsored oligopoly.
Bah! And don't even get me started on the oil companies or Microsoft.;-)
"...it will take $750 million and 10 years to build the telescope."
"John Halliday, vice-president of B.C. engineering company AMEC, which is spearheading the initiative, was at the Vancouver Board of Trade to pitch the idea Wednesday."

Not a bad way to get your firm a billion dollars in contracts over the next decade. Come up with an idea, get other people to pay you for it. Nice to see Capitalism thriving across the border in Canada, America's largest national park.
And here I was thinking that we would go a whole day without bashing Microsoft or lionizing Google. Oh Slashdot, how I missed you. (I come for the vitriol but I stay for Taco's retirement fund.)
Hey, wait a minute? Taco's retired? From what?!
Go ahead, mod me down-- I think this whole "karma" thing is slightly karmic, anyways.
I for one welcome our new, err ... old, overlords.

Does this mean that Captain Crunch is coming out of retirement soon?
Great. Now I've got to worry about interstellar hooligans stealing my identity! And, how long until I'm getting credit card offers from First Pluto Bank?

I can't remember: is Google good or bad this week here on /.?

The irony of the parent post cannot be overlooked. Thank you for the best metajoke of the day.
You've never been to France apparently.

Okay, so it was a Navy plane but still.... Hainan Island incident.

It's a tired cliche to be sure but it's still true nonetheless.
menkhaura, I just have to say that I, too, love your signature! I've used it in several presentations to much critical acclaim.

Sex for money costs a lot less.
Dupes seem to work for Slashdot.
