I hope Google pulls out of China... but before they do make every
search return http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989

Odd, to quote the email:

Technology Alert
from The Wall Street Journal

Google said it is "reviewing the feasibility of our business operations in
China" and may back out of China entirely, as it disclosed it had been hit
with major cyberattacks it believes originated from the country.

In a blog post, Google said it detected a "highly sophisticated and targeted
attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China" in
mid-December and that the attack resulted in "the theft of intellectual
property from Google."

Since the WSJ wants you to pay, see:

I hope they cover this on ISD tonight.
