It is THE search engine, far superior to all the rest. If you want info that you can't find elsewhere, you google it. When they became a full-fledged traded company, they didn't immediately go corrupt, but I guess it was only a matter of time.<br><br>As kuro says in the link above, my immediate thoughts were - if they will meet one government's censorship stance to get a some more marketshare, why not another's? After all, according to their reasoning, a censored information providing product is better than no product at all.<br><br>Well no, google. No it is not. It's better that people should at least KNOW that they're not getting information that isn't approved by their overlords. What you are doing is masking the censorship, and letting the government control its people's thoughts from the shadows.<br><br>Unfortunately I must keep using google for now - nothing else compares. But the first thing I am going to search for is "google china greed hypocrisy". Maybe if enough of us do it, it'll show up on their radar screens. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=direstrike>DireStrike</A> at: 2/7/06 8:54 am<br></i>
