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.

Kindly remind everyone to backup some important email…

買笑容的火柴
好耐好耐以前,在一個人湮稀少的村落,有一支很有理想的火柴團隊。
這是其中一支火柴的故事。
「先生,可唔可以賣個笑容俾我,我用一個笑容黎同你買丫!」火柴帶著微笑說。
「唔賣,我個笑有寶嫁!」中年男士板著臉回應。
「先生,我擺左檔好耐,一個笑容都買唔倒好慘嫁,你賣個笑容俾我啦。」火柴以水汪汪的眼睛央求著。
「一個笑容買一個笑容,我冇得賺,唔制。」中年男士不為所動。
「咁我係得一條柴,俾唔倒兩個笑容你嫁播。」火柴有點怨屈。
「唔賣,打死都唔賣。」中年男士斬釘截鐵拒絕。
「先生,求下你啦。」火柴再哀求。
「我老虎蟹都唔會笑嫁喇,你唔好對住我笑,你笑得好醜樣,我唔要你個笑容。」中年男士不耐煩了。
「先生,為左世界帶黎笑容,我用一個笑容黎令世界多一個笑容,好有意義嫁。」火柴說。
「咁又點,你咁醜,我對住你笑唔出。」中年男士冷冷地道出。
「先生,你可以貶低我既容貌,但係你唔可以話對住我笑唔出嫁播,引人發笑係我既專長同埋使命黎。」火柴說出自己的原則與理想。
「拿,咁我真係笑唔出丫嘛,你引到我笑得出既我咪豪俾你啦。」中年男士有意勺難。
「既然係咁,為左世界多一個笑容……」說著,火柴把頭轟向那位先生的腋窩,頭在腋窩之中竄動。
那位先生笑了…
然而…
火柴被腋窩之間的磨擦點燃了,我要燃亮自己,照耀著你的笑容。
看著先生笑,火柴笑著說,這個笑容是給你的,謝謝你。
先生看見火柴捨身為自己引發笑容,於心可忍呢,他急忙用腋窩夾著火柴,把火撲滅。
只剩半支的火柴說沒救了,我已經是一條廢柴,不可以再逗人笑了。
不久,焦黑的火柴那柔弱的氣息也消失了。
用這種捨身買笑的經營模式,火柴團隊的隊員買少見少。
真正讓火柴團隊絕跡的是時光的推進。
火柴團隊為人帶來那突如奇來激情的笑而犧牲, 科技發明卻釀成不少悲劇。
曾發生過點燃剛噴了很多止汗劑的腋窩時發生了爆炸意外,脫毛膏的發明造成不少火柴刺傷陌生人腋窩而被控為暗殺或恐怖襲擊。
以為火柴兵團從此放棄了嗎?沒有,永不。
火柴兵團從此轉型,有的把自己刨尖,變成牙籤;有的帶上頭巾,成為棉花棒。
他們從此為人類的生活帶來另一種快慰的笑容。
The smiley little match
Once upon a time, in a little village far far away, there was a team of matches with a dream. And here is story of one of the matches…
“Sir, can you sell me a smile? I can buy it with my smile.” The little match asked.
“No, my smile is expensive.” The middle aged man replied.
“Sir, please. I’ve been staying here for all day long, no one ever sell one to me.” The little match begged.
“One smile for one smile, I could gain nothing from it. It doesn’t worth.” The man said.
“But a people could only make a smile, I couldn’t made two at the same time.” The little match felt wronged.
“So, I will never smile to you. Ha Ha!” The man kept a cold face when he said “Ha Ha”
“Please…”
“No! Never! I don’t need your ugly smile!”
“My dream is to bring the world with more smiles. Using my smile to make some more, doesn’t it sounds great?”The match explained its dream enthusiastically.
“Ah huh…But I really couldn’t smile in front of an ugly face like you.”The man left a harsh one.
“Sir! You could belittle my face but you shouldn’t belittle my ability to make people smile. Because it’s the thing I’m living for.” The little match showed a serious face.
“OK! If you can make me smile, go for it.” The man softened.
“For one more smile to the world…” The little match rushed to the armpit of the man using its head. And it kept moving around in the armpit.
The man smiled.
The little match was lit during the friction with the armpit.
“I’ve to light myself to shine upon your smile. And here you go my smile!” The little match smiled.
Tears in his eye, the man tried to put out the fire by his armpit.
“No…it’s too late…”
The breathing of the little one disappeared.
Because of scarifying practice, the team kept losing its members.
While the real challenge is the progress of times.
The matches team brings the exciting smile for people. And it created some tragedies in the modern time.
Sometimes the little match lightened armpit with deodorant spray and explosive accident happened.
Sometimes the little match rushed into a shaved one and hurt the strangers. They were accused for assassination or terrorist attack.
Did the matches ranger give up since then? Never!
Some of them shaved themselves to be sharper, they became toothpick.
Some of them wore a scarf, they became cotton tip.
They transform themselves and bring smiles to people with comfort.

Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go…

Who’d ever thought that i would see this day….
Where i would see my ghetto life fade away…
Cos i was lost and couldn’t find a way…

I was born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto.
saw my first 9mm in the ghetto.
I got my first kiss in the ghetto.
playing hide and go seek,
with the girls in the ghetto
I wrote my first hit in the ghetto
Yoo mona lisa can i get a date on friday-ay-ay,
its hard for me to let go, life in the ghetto
the night it blessed my cousin.
i had to find a way out of the ghetto
picked up the guitar and
started to singin in the ghetto.
haters used to hate in the ghetto,
said i never would made it out of the ghetto
i guess thats why my cousin sold to yayo.
even though hanny said the
sun come out tomorrow.
But the ghetto stayed dark,
i never thought i ever see the billboard chart.

＊不要問我從哪裡來 我的故鄉在遠方
為甚麼流浪 流浪遠方 流浪＊
為了天空飛翔的小鳥 為了山澗清流的小溪
為了寬闊的草原 流浪遠方 流浪
還有 還有 為了夢中的橄欖樹 橄欖樹
不要問我從哪裡來 我的故鄉在遠方
為甚麼流浪 為甚麼流浪遠方
為了我夢中的橄欖樹 橄欖樹
