Senor psycho made a bit of a comeback today, this time involving eggs – he even shouted in English at one point. You can hear the goings on here, here and here.
It’s quickly becoming old news, but I think it’s worth a mention – Google has decided to no longer censor its search results in China, even if that means completely pulling out of the country. This follows an attack on their mail system coming from China, trying to hack into the accounts of human rights activists.
It’s a long story, but I mention it not only because it’s good news to see a big company do the right thing, but also because it could mark the start of a shift on how giant corporations deal with the freedom of speech and human rights issues that trading in China inevitably throws up.
I should say, in the interests of full disclosure, that this site is banned in China. It’s hosted by Google, so that probably won’t improve anytime soon! It’ll be very interesting indeed to see what happens in the next few weeks/months…
As a quick addition to yesterday’s post – if you want a quick way to donate to the Red Cross’ efforts in Haiti, then I just discovered that you can donate through the iTunes music store. It’s the same as buying anything else on there – 1 click and it’s done.
