So my friends working at Google said that Google decided to go out of China because of Tibet, i.e. Google supports Tibet's independence from China as separate country, and that the whole thing about content censorship was something that Google was able to put up with and wasn't the reason for its leaving.
Not sure if this were actually the case, but my friends were pretty firm about this. If it were actually true, lol, the whole world is fooled. Let's go figure out how to make Tibet free so that Google can go back to China. =P
"the world is not at all about money"...Seriously?!
Do you really think that Google, MSFT, FB etc. went "against" the government in the public because they are "not at all about money"? I like the wishful thinking, but unfortunately, if I were running one of those companies I would do the same thing so that I get to keep my customer and user base, because their confidence in my company and product is the driving force of my continued revenue. How much money is / can the government going to give me anyway? They are not MSFT or GOOG or FB's customer!
well, precisely because of that, they need better technology to capture the solar energy.
I lived in Denmark for a year, and the whole Scandinavian area doesn't get much sun throughout the year. As a result, their engineers that manufacture windows literally call themselves "light engineers".
that Google is now officially a hardware company, after Google self-driving car, Google Glasses, and the coming-soon Google Toilet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrontojPWEE)
yea but we are not paying $6000 reading things on HackerNews. If you are paying that much money to attend / support a talk, it better be delivering great quality.
