主题:谷歌退出中国的那些事 -- 果酱
华尔街日报对谷歌退出中国,做了一些解释
1、如果谷歌真的退出中国的,Gmail用户不用慌张,
Some reports have said that the reason Chinese hackers were able to access Gmail accounts is that Google has email servers physically located in China. This is not the case. Google says it has no email servers in the country.
When the company announced its plans to launch google.cn in January 2006, executives said one of the safeguards it planned to use to protect user interests was that it wouldn’t host user-generated content like email and blogs on servers in China.
2、谷歌在中国有较大的盈利
Google doesn’t say if it’s profitable in China, but there’s certainly no reason to assume it’s not. Baidu, its chief rival, reported net profit of about $153 million on revenue of $468 million for 2008, when it said it had 6,387 employees. Google’s revenue would have perhaps half or two thirds that amount, but it likely has a much lower cost base in China than Baidu, since Google is believed to employ well under 1,000 employees in the country, and can use technology developed by its U.S. headquarters.
3、据猜测,谷歌此举有可能是阻止百度在美国的收购
As I pointed out yesterday, this could loom large when it comes to future acquisitions. A number of Chinese Internet companies are building hoards of cash and valuable stock currencies. It’s possible those companies will start competing with Google for acquisitions both in the Valley and the rest of the world. Google, after all, has announced that its shopping spree is heating up, and given the woeful state of its competitors in the US (Yahoo and AOL are too damaged to out-bid Google; Facebook doesn’t yet have a stock currency) Chinese Internet companies could emerge as its chief competitors for hot properties and talented staffs of engineers.
I’m not suggesting that this is why Google made the move, nor do I know if the senior executives even view this as a potential threat. But should a Chinese Internet company make a bid for a US Internet gem, this week’s events will no doubt be brought up as a reason the US government should block it—something we’ve already seen when Arab companies have bid for ownership of US port controllers and financial institutions. That could prove a pretty savvy side-benefit for the search giant as the Internet battles of the next decade start to heat up.

McAfee知道攻击的技术手段不奇怪,怪就怪在居然知道行动代号~~~
存疑中。。。。。。。
malware是文件,打开能看到里面有字符串,与代码内容和编译时的设置有关,McAfee是观察到两个文件里都有Aurora这个路径,于是就把这个当行动代号了。
你在你自己目录下编译两个送出去,说不定就叫meokey行动了,尽管这和你实际怎么称呼这个行动毫无关系。
Today, Google is operating its business as usual in China and is still censoring search results on Google.cn, a spokeswoman, who declined to be identified, said. Its employees in China are still going to work, she said.

戏好看了!
Greg Kroah-Hartman写了一篇详细的文章,解释这个决定。下面就来看看,他是怎么说的,以及Android到底是一个什么样的系统。
“Google has taken the Linux kernel, and nothing else from a "traditional" Linux system.
Google只用了kernel,别的东西都没用。”
这就是说,与Ubuntu、Debian、Redhat这样的传统Linux发行版相比,只有系统的底层结构是一样的,其他东西在Android 里都不一样,尤其是程序员的编程接口是完全不同的。因此,Android应用程序都必须重新写过,现存的Linux程序无法移植上去。所以,从严格意义上说,Android是一种全新的系统,它与Linux的距离,比Mac OS与Linux的距离还要远。
“...any drivers written for Android hardware platforms, can not get merged into the main kernel tree because they have dependencies on code that only lives in Google's kernel tree, causing it to fail to build in the kernel.org tree.
所有为Android写的硬件驱动,都不能合并入kernel。因为它们只在Google的代码里有效,在kernel里根本没法用。
Because of this, Google has now prevented a large chunk of hardware drivers and platform code from ever getting merged into the main kernel tree. Effectively creating a kernel branch that a number of different vendors are now relying on.
由于这个原因,Google也从不把大量的硬件驱动程序和平台源码向kernel提交。实际上,它创造出了一个kernel的分支,大量的开发者都依赖那个分支。”
逼硬件驱动选择linux 或 Android,损人利己,Google完全可以做的地到一点,让 android 和 linux 兼容。
硬件驱动是厂商的,和硬件架构有很大关联,开源出去可能导致硬件方面知识产权的泄漏,以开源显卡驱动可见一斑。
google没有权力强迫厂商这么做,所以只能做一个中间层绕过去。
