This will end when Google is completely blocked (or 'filtered') by China. I really don't see any other outcome. China will never budge on these issues (at least not in my lifetime) and Google has already burned some of its bridges to China.
I'd give it a try if Apple 'blessed' it (which I doubt they will considering how 'fair' they are) but I don't know if it will ever match the speed of Safari considering they don't have access to the private API's that Apple does (and forbids everyone else from using).
The downside is you have to wear a skull cap with electrodes that capture your brain waves like an EEG machine.
I'm guessing it's progress, but I'd end up with documents that were full of "man, this is the 2nd stupidest hat I've ever had to wear at work" repeated over and over again.
We're talking about teens in the morning being able to get themselves to school an hour later without supervision when most parents have already gone to work.
We're not talking about tethering or constant supervision... just that most teens are basically useless in the morning which is why they tried this experiment in the first place.
Also, it would be unrealistic to compare my teens 30 years ago with teens today. They have many more diversions and temptations regarding entertainment (though the basic one hasn't changed at all).
The older ones should be treated as young adults, but 13, 14 & 15 y/o's need supervision (and some even older). If you want to increase the levels of tardiness & absenteeism, and speed the overall decline of adolescent maturation, you just leave teens to supervise themselves and get themselves out of bed and to school.
P.S. your implicit assumption that countries are simply successful in everything they choose to do is just wrong.
In general I would agree with you, but China is in a unique financial position (holding the US by the fiscal balls) and has successfully oppressed its people in a fashion that isn't quite evil enough for the world to stand up to.
Google has the most to lose because they are a company and China is a country.
Google will make its profit, but not as much as if it would have if it stayed in China.
China will make itself whatever its government wants it to become where Google is around or not.
"SO you would rather the insurance companies be the only ones with unfettered access to your information?"
Yeah, that's exactly what he said. Are you high? We know he is, he admitted it.
Um, it was a play on Google's 'Buzz' social networking disaster that made everything public and is the antitheses of what we want Electronic Medical Records to be.
And the insurance companies don't have my medical information because I don't have medical insurance anymore. The costs went up 38% - 46% each year for the last three years (I gave up on it before paying that first huge increase).
Ants and termites build cities, and beavers build dams, and we don't seem to care.
That's because they don't build cities and damns. You show me an ant, termite or beaver who can build a damn and a city, and I'll show you something I'd like to give to the aliens.
Tech Support: Thank you for calling Maneuverable Supersonic Cruise Missile tech support, my name is Tom, how may I help you?
Missile Owner: Hello. My maneuverable supersonic cruise missile isn't the first.
Tech Support: I do apologize for this inconvenience. Am I correct to understand that your maneuverable supersonic cruise missile is not the first?
Missile Owner: Uh, yeah. I was told it would be the first.
Tech Support: I do apologize. Have you tried flashing the BIOS?
Missile Owner: WTF?
Oh, close, but not quite what we were looking for. The correct answer was "The scammer wanted the car because it ran Linux", but we would have also excepted "You don't need to scam someone out of Linux because it's free."
Would someone please dig up J. Edgar Hoover's body and make sure he's still dead? Methinks his ghost never left us.
We dug him up quite a while ago when we were trying to find Jimmy Hoffa's body. Now that we're no long contenders in the 'Find Jimmy Pool' we let him roam free. Our bad, sorry about that.
The biggest mistake he made in his paper was the assumption that Homer still works at Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Clearly China is several seasons behind in their 'research'.
Mod parent up for successfully combining a car analogy and a 'Profit!'. If they'd included a Linux reference they would have earned the coveted Slashdot Hat Trick.
... no one sends anyone else any money until they verify that the check they've received is good?
The first time I get payment from a client I always wait to see if it clears before moving forward on a project. It's one of the reasons we require deposits before starting work.
We want users to get far away from IE 6 - and moving to IE 9 would bring them closer to a standards compliant browser than ever. But IE 9 won't be available to the largest install base of MS... or just largest period. ANd only people on XP can run IE 6.

Man, those are the worst lottery numbers ever ... plus, they're not even in numerical order.
Google, it's your turn ...

Teens starting school later? Who's going to supervise the teen until they get to school? Won't somebody think of the parents?
Or those of us who would rather remote into a client's server rather than have to look at their smiling faces.
Anyone know what the file is that's automatically downloaded when you click the 'About The Survey' link?

Meanwhile, just go about your business, but keep in mind that they are watching, and judging.
So, what you're saying is, my mom is an alien?
Mixing Google and my medical records would give a whole new meaning to the word 'Buzz'.

Wouldn't ET pick the ones they wanted to initiate conversations with first? Possibly the ones less likely to point a gun at them?
What do they know?
I say we put them in the middle of a joint session of Congress. That should be enough to scare them right off the planet.

They used a Linux based cell phone or computer.
Oh, close, but not quite what we were looking for. The correct answer was "The scammer wanted the car because it ran Linux", but we would have also excepted "You don't need to scam someone out of Linux because it's free."
Isn't that from that movie where Sting proved he couldn't act? No, not that one, the other one ... yeah, that's it, Dune.
