A Chinese government newspaper took issue with Google's accusation that it had traced cyber attacks on Gmail accounts to that country, claiming that the search engine was simply trying to stir political unrest.
Google June 1 disrupted a phishing scam that duped senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, and others into giving up their Gmail passwords so that an attacker could read and forward their e-mail messages."

Editors Note Continues-After all this well intentioned and properly documented literary reference, I have no hesitation to continue to share excerpt of this rather lengthy although extremely interesting breaking news piece:
The People's Daily, which writes on behalf of China's Communist Party, said June 6 that Google made its claims out of "a vicious intent of sparking new disputes concerning Internet security between China and the U.S," according to the Wall Street Journal.People's Daily editor Zhang Yixuan also lobbed a veiled threat at the search engine when he wrote in the front-page editorial:"Google shouldn't engulf itself in the international political war as a tool for political gaming," If there is "any change in the international atmosphere, I am afraid Google will become a target to be sacrificed by politics, and also will be discarded by the market."
Editors Subsequent Note:
Please notice exactly who is doing the talking for China, and also that their comments are directed at the US based-internet giant- Google. This being picked up according to The Wall Street Journal. The subtext to this entire thing of course being, China is clearly and seemingly (notice my hedge) in some very obtuse way attempting to assert some convoluted sense of diplomatic immunity!
Lets get the absolute newsworthy item out there, after all these fireworks:
" Google June 1disrupted a phishing scam that duped senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, and others into giving up their Gmail passwords so that an attacker could read and forward their e-mail messages"
I like so many other internet and aspiring internet professionals am major user of Google technology, yes I love Google (partly because their technology makes things so easy)- although I am concerned about, (like any good American should be) how much information they (Google) truly have at their fingertips. I also have recently adopted a more global outlook on the importance of the large and great nation of China.

It seems when going down the archives of History one might recall one salient feature of Nixon's presidency as a huge scandal and corresponding cover-up (WaterGate).
Perhaps Nixon's finest moment (please do not mis-interpret I am by any stretch of the imagination even close to being a "bible thumping Republican") was in his developing excellent diplomatic relations with China,
Full an unedited linked source of above (below):Sending pandas to America has been a Chinese tradition since the Nixons’ trip to China in February 1972. This “panda diplomacy” – the Chinese government loaning pandas to foreign countries as gestures of goodwill – has been occurring for hundreds of years, but took on a special significance with the United States because of the breakthrough in relations and cultural interconnections it represented. Its roots can be traced to a dinner between Zhou En-lai and the Nixon party.As Zhou and President Nixon traded toasts at one of half a dozen official galas, the dawn of a new beginning was in the air. Seated next to the Chinese Premier, Mrs. Nixon and Zhou discussed her tours throughout Peking, specifically her visit to the Peking Zoo to see the pandas. On the table in front of her, she noticed a box of cigarettes wrapped in pink tissue and decorated with Chinese pandas. Showing it to him, she remarked how enamored she was with them: “Aren’t they cute? I love them.” “I’ll give you some,” he replied, and arrangements were made to ship two pandas to the National Zoo in Washington.

When it premiered at the Houston Grand Opera in 1987, John Adams' "Nixon in China" broke new ground. Here was an American opera reflecting on a recent historical event and exploring issues of contemporary media, politics, and culture. In its debut at the venerated Metropolitan Opera more than 20 years later, the work retains its cutting-edge status. Opera is still primarily seen as a vehicle for musical showmanship rather than as a means to convey social commentary. Peter Sellars restages his original mammoth production, and Mark Morris also repeats his 1987 choreography. It's a feast for the ears and eyes, with Sellars skillfully manipulating a huge cast amidst Adrianne Lobel's suggestive scenery and Adams' weirdly beautiful and insistent rhythms propelling Alice Goodman's poetic libretto.

I suppose some legends never truly die. I would like to now give a very small respite to a dear old departed friend of my mom, who recently passed on. He use to actually give out a little a business card that read, yes again I paraphrase:

I support Google in doing what they do to stay competitive in the market-place. I am somewhat fearful that we have come to rely on companies like Facebook and Google a bit too much. They have our data, our pics, our contacts, and yes even our ideas.
ReplyDeleteWith that in my humble opinion comes an expectation of these huge companies remaining loyal to those people who use their services. The tendency naturally is to cater to those individuals or companies that spend huge sums via advertising. Yet perhaps a fundamental flaw which tends to slow or cool down and otherwise potentially hot and growing economy is streamlining the path to success for individual entrepreneurs and small business developers.
The large companies may often lose an perspective which is an essential component to growth. The economy needs to grow (in part) by developing new sources of good and services. Yes there will be competition, yes there will be fallout. Yet we need to learn simply by looking at the world around us. That which can not survive the current trends get squeezed out an opportunities for what previously was unsuccessful gets squeezed in.
