Steve Jobs is better to block off any Tibetan propaganda. Otherwise, his company will face the boycott. As a result, the apple stock will go down.

This comment sounds like it

This comment sounds like it was generated in the Comcapitalist Republik of China where money and totalitarianism are more important that righteousness.

Awesome, there are Chinese

Awesome, there are Chinese "propaganda-bots" (who are probably real people?) going through all the Google News hits on this "scandal" and posting threatening comments.


China is best! Everyone who likes Apple is very stupid! Tibet is terrorists!


Nice try, spambots.

I am an American living and

I am an American living and working in Central China. I hear so many stories like this in the Western Media and then I go online and access nearly everything I hear is blocked and I access the net on a common ADSL line, not a corporate or gov. line. Internet usage here is extremely heavy and sometimes the band width is just plane gone and I have trouble accessing some sites, then when band widt improves, access comes back. It would be wise to beleave only a very small part of what you hear about blocking and internet police. The Chinese have much bigger concerns. If western countries had populations as vast as China's life would be little if any different in the west.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
