Here’s a similar article in the NY Times. Apparently, the reason google threatened to leave china is now censorship, not hacking. Would they please get their story straight? And where’s the proof as to who did the hacking? It’s been an eternity. As I’ve said, big G seems to have completely blown this issue. Honestly, does anyone in the west really cares about what G does in china? While at the same time, G is making enemies left and right in China due to this. Now, I love some of G’s products, but they get no sympathy from me when they start acting like condescending holier than thou pricks.

Is it me, or is most of western news a one big circle jerk?

Holleyman went to Capitol Hill because he was invited to testify in a House of Representatives hearing titled “The Google Predicament:
Transforming U.S. Cyberspace Policy to Advance Democracy, Security, and Trade” which mixed together cyber-security, censorship, and intellectual property issues in a manner that confused everyone – including the congresspeople – so I’m not surprised that the reporters and editors were confused, and that informed readers like yourself are left scratching their heads…
