I found this particularly interesting considering last week's talk that MSN and Yahoo gave up info to the US govt about kiddie porn search requests, while Google did not. In yesterday's SF Chronicle a letter to the editor praised Google and claimed that's why he's with Google, "Because it protects my privacy." (Is that really the motivating factor? How long have you known about this?) The same edition of the paper carried an update on the story saying that MSN and Yahoo actually did not turn over that info. Now this from Google.

I have a really good friend from school that's Chinese and she watched the presidential debates in '04. She was over at our place a couple of nights later and my wife asked her how she liked them. In her very good British English, "Well, it was interesting but it's different from our form of democracy." Yes it is, yes it is.
