It is a good thing that google.cn quitted mainland China, who above all, had nothing to compete with http://baidu.com, at least not in user numbers. That is also a great lesson for any American companies have had and will have work with China: lesson one, don't toy with the government of the Middle Kingdom unless you want to get swamped into the middle of nowhere.
It is no big deal for Chinese netizens because no matter how great the Great Fire Wall is, there's always a FreeGate to pass through. Too bad the website that provides the download of FreeGate is blocked in the United States, just the way American movies and TV shows on youku.com and tudou.com are blocked in US.
It is wise for google to redirect users to its HK link. Apart from the users, this could also bring terminators. My sincere blessing for the life of google.com.hk, may you live long and prosperous.
The lesson also applies to major cities in the U.S, say Portland, a city just celebrated Tibet-Awareness-Day. Heartbreaking news for the fans of Trailblazers in China, no more games of Portland televised on CCTV5 any more.
I hate the way when sports is affected by politics.
I love the way Google fought as a warrior.

Good news is, there is always a silver lining.
Even though China's central television is trying to televise as many Houston Rockets and New Jersey Nets games as possible to instill the heroic images of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in Chinese basketball fans' minds, the No.1 popular jersey in China's apparel stores belongs to Kobe Bryant. And in terms of teams? The Los Angeles Lakers.
There is only one power greater than the power of the Chinese government, the Chinese!!!
That's why the 3D version of Avatar has not been pulled off from Chinese screens yet.
And speaking of 3D, SONY is bringing an all-CGI "Popeye" to the big screen, to pop eyes in 3D.
Speaking of cartoons in 3D, it suddenly strikes me which sports game will have the best effect if televised in 3D. To me, it's American football, even though I am a die-hard basketball fan. And ESPN already did a good dabble job in broadcasting USC-Ohio St. college football game last year.
Another question, would it be great for the sports video games to be in 3D version? Imagine one day we can play NBA live in 3D? Would that be lots of fun?
Just an hour ago, Nintendo seemed to have heard me, they are officially planning to sell a new portable 3D gaming devise that doesn't require special glasses.

Did you watch the USC-Ohio St. college football game last year in 3D at gallen center? It is amazing, I was totally astonished by the 3-D stereo effect. I feel like I was on the football field just behind Mate.However For broadcasting 3-D stereo live sport to every TV set and making 3-D stereo video game, it is hard to say, I don't know If you have see the CG of FF13, it is really high quility 3D. If turned it into 3D stereo, here comes a problems: the screen is too small to be good compare with the huge screen in a cinema. Therefore, in my opinion the broadcast of live sport and video game in 3D stereo techonogly should combine with the developing of huge size LCD or more clearly projector. Or if you want to see some video of the USC-Ohio St game check out my video http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTE5MTg2NjQw.html
