Google also had to find out that China does not want backdoors - unless they are their own.

I would recommend every government, company or institution to use especially network devices only, if they can review and then compile the code themselves which is to be run in the device.
So as to avoid Trojan Boot Loaders within their networks.
how do you think got 2 students the finances to pay for the server farms and bandwidth required to install the initial crawler environment to get Goolge going - against well established search engine Yahoo?
a prominent US-based IT security company estimated the effort to detect a TBL at 5 to 6 man-years plus a constructed event rousing the interest so that the TBL would be woken up from dormancy to be detected during the activation phase.
to find TBL instructions and reporting home inside search engine requests was considered as fairly difficult.
so build into all US produced ( or at least with US label ) network devices a small Trojan Boot Loader hidden with dirty programming.
and activate these TBL's with instructions hidden in serachengine answers- according to the serial No of who bought which.
And you end up with a fifth colon paid by the very IT user.
( A French Diplomat made a slip of tounge when asked if they did not fear Argentine to use Exocet missiles against themselves: we can switch it off -
analogue a US Diplomat may slipof tongue: we can switch it ON )
the equivalent would have been in medieval times the monks to block the printing press after they realized that not only bibles can be printed!
Oh my God I hate these lobbyists and IP-lords!

this very industry can:
withstand the theft of $51 billion worth of their products!
-
because they are not worth it!
We need to charge because we want to develop better software for the customer !! sic!!
-
In our company we have alone 15 major versions of XP installation images - not to count the 200 or more
patches run - more or less every week one!
-
the total cost of ownership calculations of certain SW-vendors never included the cost of the patching and changes and work
to keep those bloody damned software-houses of cards whic take ages to boot - running. -
Thank you Redmoind - thank you BSA!

today I found again two more people who did no know about Linux and are right now delfing in the plethora of tools coming with it!
without those bloody astronauts
But I would like to see peer review implkemented in the legislative proces in my country!

Street View pictures to brief agents for action,
WiFi Hotspots for communication,
maybe also for eavesdropping.
google queries to see who looks for what
and even steering who sees what as a query answer.

no wonder China threw them out!
Because for sure you have nothing to hide!
I wonder how 2 students got the money to pay for the servers and bandwidth to start up a business competing with an established market leader?
of course venture capital - but who's venture?
Holywood has a history of leading the US to war!
There is maybe a market for 5, 6 computers worldwide ( IBM CEO )

Thanks to France, Brittain, US and Russia to employ people who lost their job in Peenemünde!
And thanks for all the work by concentration camp slaves.

business is tough nowadays ;-)
Of course you need to pay the roaming bills *g*
Lets see what deeds and results come out of his declared good intentions
forgive me if I am sceptic, the road to hell is plastered with good intentions
or
which is hidden behind the veil of national security?
Venture Capital? haha

I wish them a lot of of fun - to make user input result into an improved software!
e.g. M$ opens source code of Windows 7
what do you expect from the son of a lawyer?
are there some hyptocrites around?
In the news one can hear now that China does not like Google and some US services sharing bed and servers.
I think now some of the real reasons show up!
