Google about to live up to their motto?

After years of censoring their search results to operate within the law in China it seems that Google might have finally decided to live up to their motto “Do no evil”.

It seems there were some attacks on the gmail accounts of Chinese Human Rights advocates and Google have now decided it’s time for a new approach to China.

Of course if google stops censoring their results they will just be blocked by the “Great Firewall of China”. Baidu, the current number one search engine in China, will take a greater hold of the market. Being a Chinese company there is no chance of them ever returning results the government don’t want the people to see.

Having lived in China I know how difficult it can be to find uncensored news and opinion without employing proxies or vpns to get around the blocking. Google’s censorship however wasn’t 100% and whilst useful things like Google News and Google Cache were unavailable you could still find things the chinese would probably prefer you didn’t see. So the question is; Is no Google in China better than a Censored Google?

It’s a tough one.

Let the racist speak

Damn do-gooder lefties. Don’t they realise that it’s not the BBC that’s giving the BNP a publicity, but themselves by whinging about it endlessly for the last few weeks and mounting protests. They’re playing into Griffin’s hands as what he wants is people trying to stop him speaking. Let Griffin get on Question Time and then question his policies and views in a civil manner. Hopefully he’ll show himself up to be the racist that he is. And if people are swayed by leaflets with Spitfires and nationalistic bullshit then they’re a lost cause anyway.

Maybe this is the kick up the arse the political parties need to stop treating us like idiots and making us care less and less about voting.

What would I ask Griffin if I had the chance? I’d ask him about any policies other than immigration. Just to see if they’ve actually thought past what they’d do once they’ve kicked 10% of the population out of the country.

Go Barmy!!

Yes, Obama won! Thank God.

Change has indeed come and the world breathes a sigh of relief.

He’s not perfect, he needs some experience and in his past he’s had a few dodgy assosiates but I think he’s the best thing to happen to America, and the rest of the world, for sometime now.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t disappoint, he’s certainly got his work cut out for him.
