"In time of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act." George Orwell

Now that Google is rich, it seems that the revolution has come to an end.

Yeah, this is fun. You can see the Chinese way of looking at lots of things. I tried "olympics" and "Tibet" and came up with different results, though the differences weren't as stark as with "tiananmen" and "communist".

Great post...succinct and revealing. Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft support the restrictions on freedom in China.

The Saudis will not be far behind, demanding a version of Google that elminates all Infidel content and any negative information about the Prophet.
