Randy: I didn't really want to blog this, but everybody seems to think its important. It's not. Google is not censoring results where those results were previously available. Google is not censoring results where those results are not going to continue to be available elsewhere. It's just a new version of Google that respects the wishes of the Chinese government. Google is not evil. The Chinese government maybe. Enough said. Enough time wasted.
