well that’s the story isn't it, why would M$ care about human rights issues? as long as there is money, they are the best contry in the world!!! thats why people like google and hate Microsoft.

of course you don't have to be liked to be successful, and being liked doesn't guarantee success either, honestly the fuss Google is making over this surprised me.

Yay Ballmer! The champion of capitalist freedom!

When people already think you evil, why disappoint.

Actually there's quite a few reasons not to do business with China. This just happens to be a drop in the bucket and apparently this wasn't the straw that broke the camels back

Too bad our wonderful amazing fabulous government cant stand up and say something supportive of google.

It's all about money.

Both M$ and HP only care about money and not human right. They are just as evil as chinese gov't.

Ballmer is correct. This is Google's problem. In theory, they're pulling out now due to surveillance and hacking from the Chinese. That's basically admitting that their encryption and security methods aren't cutting it, and they're not going to make them better.

Remember, Google already agreed to filter google.cn, so this really has nothing to do with the idea of filtering search results. They've been doing that for ages. This has to do with being hacked. Perhaps Microsoft was hacked and isn't announcing it, but I bet they're working on upgrading their security if they were. Google, apparently, is not.

Totally agree with that.

If I were Google and I were truly pissed and ready to pack my bags then why not do it in style? Move all your people and money out, remote all your servers, once you are back home safe and secure... hack the ever living hell out of anything to do with the Chinese government. Complete and utter sabotage. No announcement or whining, just turn the tables with both middle fingers straight up in the air.

Of course HP is going to kiss China's backside. 80% of the HP manufacturing jobs that used to be in the United States are now in China! The CEO's of America only care about driving the stock price up to make sure that their millions of bonus shares make them obscenely rich. That is their only motive, not helping America or Americans, as long as the rich can force middle class out of the picture by taking their money, let them. Every poor society that has been ruled by a handful of rich has ended with the poor rising up.
So keep it up you greedy pigs, your day will come. Probably not in my time, but it will come.

Next to Albert Einstein, he's my favorite human being.

Huh? Yahoo, White House Back Google China Dispute

I had thought they were at least saying something about it... though, we don't seem to have problems taking China's loan money. >

Google should DDoS the Chinese network 24/7.

HP+Microsoft = FAIL!

 

[Guest]

there it is again, a reference to a dollar figure, and a moronic and overused (on this site) qualifier in front of it, this time "a meager 250 million..."

are you guys using lame text expanding scripts that do this automatically, or are you just that bad at writing?

 

[NegativeX]

In other news, the sky is blue. More on this @ 5...

Microsoft and HP are scared of China, almost all organizations and countries are. Expect the press to stop covering this story as their parent companies are also afraid of discussing the ugly state of human rights in China Inc. China uses $ as a weapon. And everyone's scared.

It has absolutely nothing to do with human rights....of course, you'd already know that had you actualy read the article instead of rushing to get the first clueless post. Google got hacked by someone that appears to reside in China. That is what all the bullshit is about.
