Step 1) Produce a web browser (IE) and OS (Windows) so full of security holes that you are sure it can always be hacked.

Step 2) Use underhanded tactics to ensure that it is the dominant system with computer users, forcing your competitor, Google, to run it to make sure its web pages render correctly.

Step 3) Inform the Chinese that they can get into Google's system through your system in order to get information on Google's users who support human rights.

Step 4) When things go south after the attack, act all coy, shake you head, and say "I just don't understand how Google is having problems doing business with China" (this part can be played by Steve B. and also Bill Gates, for added effect).

Step 5) Tell the Chinese that you do not care at all about little trifles like human rights, you just want to make immoral cash. Also tell them that if they run your new "Ching-Bing" search engine, that you will forward all of the user data directly to the Chinese government.

(Step 6 -- the optional deal-clincher): Tell them that you are willing to send search and email data from US users, if it can "help them enforce their laws more efficiently".

How much does Google "office online" contribute to future google revenue?

If Google can get small businesses to move to online office documents, at a price, then won't this bring in more money than a small number of Chinese smartphone buyers?

Isn't that what's really behind this? Google cannot afford to show that it's emails, all our emails, are so easily hackable. Who would use it's services then?

China - where most versions of Windows are pirate copies.

USA are having a push at China, it's what the big boys do with each other. Google is a pawn. China is pushing back.

Remember the US spyplane that crash landed in China after spying on the Chinese, lol? China said it would give it back sometime, lol. USA did? Nothing.

China says "All your world industry belong to us. We lend USA money. What you gonna do?"

I miss some drama, it's not really buttered up. Maybe something for third rate tv channels.
