Every person / company and insect has a temperament limit, but only so few of them have the courage to stand up and atleast raise their voice if not kick someone's ass. I only loved Google till few days back, but now i have a deep respect for it from the bottom of my heart!
Someone has the guts in the world to stand up against China. Everyone knows that Google was very uncomfortable from the beginning in showing the censored results in its Chinese version of Google search (available through google.cn). And finally when it realized that not only its search results were being censored to show half truths in China, it also discovered that its Gmail services were being attacked in China to get more information about Human rights activists! So it has finally announced that it will show normal un-censored results on its search engines, be it any part of the world. It doesnt even care about its USD 600 million revenues, which it earns in China, when there is a question on its ethics and its integrity! Respect!Ofcourse the arrogant Chinese government has issued a statement, "If you want to do business in China, you gotta go by our rules". So soon its gonna be a bye bye from Google to China. Go Chinese people and keep reading only positive news about china from your positively yours Chinese search engine Baidu! I just remember a small story from the childhood days. By closing its yes or turning away its face, the pigeon can not avoid being eaten by the cat!
Its a free world, therefore it should have a free internet also. And by free i mean everyone should have the right to speak freely and read freely what others are saying!
I can sum up by saying, while the US government can never muster up enough courage to do such a thing, Google has done it by just supporting the right and raising its voice against the wrong!

Hail Google !!! .And what a opening statement...Tussi great ho...
this is bound to happen... China is so hideous by nature... every1 knows that... bt google finally came up with its guts!
Nice One! Bravo Google! :)
Go Google ...
Kamal ka tha opening statement! Wah ustaad maan gaye! Yea that organisation just rocks!
and that's why google says 'don't be evil'.
seriously chinese log ostrich ban gaye hai. good write up and google se mujhe aur pyar ho gaya.
Wait, how did you get the business size numbers for Google in China? Would love to see a reference.
Also, I heard an interview on NPR with a Google Exec, and his tone sounded much more soft, something like "If China asks us to NOT show uncensored results, well, we will see what we can do...".
Although i liked google's decision to pull out, i dont think it's google's daringness...rather it is about US' desparateness..what else could US ( i seriously think its US gov's decision rather than google's ethics) gov have done when chinese hackers were entering very high secret US' servers.
Google/US allowed china to play around with their own set of rules till it didnt hurt them. Now that china started stabbing US from the back, US realised the threat and asked google to stop all the activities in the guise of moral high ground.
I am not supporting china. I also hate censorship. I am just suggesting that nobody is aholycow... If google did this move only because of ethics then the question arises where were these ethics till now...and what has triggered this sudden rememberance of ethics....
Reminds me of that song frm movie company...gandha hai par dhandha hai...
