I’ve read Rebecca’s work ever since the North Korean train wreck/explosion incident. She’s what the media should strive to be like. Her intention seems to be to get the facts and report them. Anyone like Bill or his company censoring her stuff is something I can only judge as WRONG.

BTW, I’ve not used GOOGLE anymore ever since it was pointed out to me that if you type in “failure” and then hit the “I’m feeling lucky” button you’ll get the President Bush’s biography on the Whitehouse.gov’s website. It’s been over a year and I just tried it again and it went somewhere else. But until I hear an apology from Google, I’ll just PASS on using them.

What this proves, again, is that it’s “all about the benjamins” for Gates. He’s in it to expand his empire and global reach. If it means cooperating witht he Chinese govt. in the manipulation and terrorizing of its own people, well, they’re not his people, right? His generosity and worries about human suffering only extend as far as it doesn’t affect his bottom line.

And RedBeard, spot on about Microsoft products.

Grumpy is dead on. Bill Gates capitalized marvelously on the work of others, turning those ideas into a hugely successful enterprise. He earned his money and gets high marks for dogged determination. But innovative? Give me a break. I’ve suffered under the many versions of MS technological failure for years. Billy’s products are pathetic. Whenever possible I’m off into the Unix or Mac worlds, places where things actually work right most of the time.

Off the subject a bit, but perhaps relevant tangentially, I recall someone saying that Bill Gates has fewer friends than Saddam Hussein. Nice legacy for Billy, being a purveyor of lousy products and being a world-class jerk at the same time.

Bill Gates innovative? Nah! Master manipulator of the justice system? Yes! Really rich-as in the amount of personal income he is reported to have could easily re-build the City of New Orleans? Yes. Revolutionary? Nah! That one person could amass such an amount of money is evolutionary.

Microsoft has to satisfy the China customer.

I wonder if it was just to be taken off of Chinese access areas and there was a “mistake” made.

Bill Gates censors bloggers on behalf of state?

Bill Gates being a state-appointed censor does sound bizarre. But La Shawn and other bloggers are covering what appears to be clear evidence that Microsoft is co-operating with the Chinese government to muzzle bloggers.
