Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Walking down town with yo pants on the ground
get it up!!
HEY! got your pants off the ground
lookin like a fool, walkin talking
with you pants on the ground
get it up
hey get them pants off the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Lookin’ like a fool with you pants on the ground

互聯網利害之處，在於能把世界各地資訊超越時空，地域的界限共冶於一爐。上世紀的歷史，那邊中東打仗，那邊冰川溶化，達賴訪美高舉勝利手勢的畫面，甘地的名言以至匿名網民的評論，按動滑鼠都看到，聽到。連貫著網站與網民的，是網頁搜尋器，沒有這個，網頁都是一堆支離破碎的數據。Google，世界有名的網頁搜尋器說要離開中國，說真的，輸不了。網頁搜尋器的目標就是盡可能把所有的網站應要求一一放到用家面前。進了中國，要自我審查，這個不可以，那個不容許，互聯網的犀利不就是夠多嗎？Google強就不是強在把這樣多的東西帶到人面前嗎？外國的，即時的，敏感的，加了制肘的Google，就如同叮噹沒有了隨意門，法寶仍在，可拿手好戲沒有了，還有用，但不是最有用，對付胖虎可能有點吃力。
這一次Google一舉化身成網絡自由的代言人，挑戰中共權威，對自我審查說不，勇氣可加，既然一直以來在中國利潤佔全球不大，放手一搏有何不可？贏的機會說實話，不大。當中牽涉的政治問題，中共政府拒絕面對幾十年的，看來不會賣谷哥的帳翻出來。輸？最多退出，或是還原基本步，輸得不多，自由這個普世價值一直為已發展國家唱頌，這幾天Google能在世界各地新聞高擺正義姿態，輸得這麼帥，這麼受人愛戴，有何不可？
除了網絡自由的代言人，維權人士的保鑣也當了。我也試過在內地網咖看關於六四回顧的電郵後不久帳號被封了，忘了什麼啟動碼的便乾脆開個新的。Google一直說有駭客攻擊維權人士的電郵帳號，沒有指名道姓說是誰，可誰會在意維權人士的電郵內容？內地憤青要查他們家宅，挖他們家的祖墳，姦他們太祖母的屍嗎？不大可能吧。至於真兇是誰，不是的不會說，是的不敢說。重點是維權人士的電郵內容沒有被偷看到，好了，他們的人生安全大概得到保障。當然救人之餘亦不忘自助，看Google網絡的保安，成功抵抗如此國家級駭客入侵，保障客戶私隱，商業客戶大可放心了吧。
不知道是神來之筆還是危機應變，這一著盡顯膽識，展示公司技術，忠於企業原則操守，宣揚國家以至普世價值。
輸？輸在哪？
Batman without Batman Car
Internet, bringing the second revolution to the world after the industrial revolution, links people to people, people to information with no limitation of time and place. By few clicks on the mouse, you can reach the history of the last century, war happens in Middle East, the melting glaciers in North Pole, Dalai Lama showing the V sign when he was visiting United States, words of Gandhi or even comments of an anonymous surfer.
And the key tying websites and internet users to each other is the search engine. Without the search engine, web pages are nothing but pieces of data. Google, the largest search engine in the world say Goodbye to China? They have nothing to lose.
The mission of search engine is to put all the pages to the monitor according to users’request. When Google enter China, there is self-censorship, this is not allowed and that is prohibited.
Isn’t the Internet revolutionary because of its hyper-rich content? And isn’t Google good at bringing as much as it could to people? Foreign news, breaking news, sensitive issues and everything, the self-censored Google is like the Batman without Batman car. He is still good, but his favorite trick is lost. He has to take more time to beat the joker up.
This time, Google served as the spokesperson of online freedom, acting against the China communist party, its bravery is already adorable. If the gain in China only occupied little proportion of its global profit, why don’t they give a try? Honestly, don’t expect too much on this bet. The unsettled political problem for twenty years will not be revised because of Google.
However, the worst situation is quitting the restrictive China market or return to the basic, there is nothing to loss. Freedom as the common value of the world has always been praised among developed countries and Google is like the synonym of justice, online freedom on the news around the world these days. Lose with such a good image, why not?
Other than the representative of online freedom, Google is also the protector of those human rights activists. I have tried my Gmail account being blocked when I was reading news about VIIV in mainland China, and I forgot about the activation keys so I just register for a new one. Google claims that there are Chinese hackers trying to break into the accounts of human rights activists, they never name out who did it. Those hyper patriotic angry youth on the Forums? Are they going to have a home visit to human rights activists? Probably not. Who’s in behind is not a big deal. If the answer is yes, they don’t dare to say it. If the answer is no, they won’t say it. The point is the email content of those human rights activists is safe and no one broke into it. It proofed security system and crisis management of Google can protect clients’ data from the attacks in national scale. The privacy of clients is guaranteed, and the business customer can trust on Google.
No matter what, this move shows the guts of the company, performs the technology of the company and its support to freedom. There is really nothing to lose.
Special thanks to my brother drawing the picture.
