Google playing at the Chinese gameboard

The search-gigant Google is not to political correct when they defend the chinese governments censorship of the Net. They are defending the proxy-ways of making a searchindex with arguments like "In order to create the best possible news search experience for our users, we sometimes decide not to include some sites, for a variety of reasons.".

What's the fuzz? The chinese surfers aren't able to see the sites even if Google choose to keep them in their index? Wrong. Most of the more skilled surfers in China knows how to work-around the Great Virtual Wall so when Google is put the forbidden sites out of the index it's a real act of censorship. (E-Media Tidbits)

Microsoft is fucking us up

CNET News.com has the new and no-improved bruha of the Redmond dinosaur. The new security-enchanced version of IE is only available for XP-users. And the catch is to get everyone to upgrade.

I think Microsoft do the same mistake as the former No. 1 Netscape did - trying to fuck us users up. The giant is going down. In flames.
