The political soap opera starring the USA and China have been driven mainly by capitalism, but the White House coming out in support of Google, a ‘mere’ corporation, has the world tethered at the edge of their seats, watching very keenly and closely.
The ramifications of this move will probably show themselves somewhere down the line, but for now, odds are sky-high on China handing in a transparent explanation. And no one’s even mentioning an apology.
Google, what took you so long?
China should learn from Singapore. An unnecessary political “cool-down” period is cheerfully relegated to the end pages of the newspapers. See? Subtle.

Addendum:
There isn’t RAW, nor manual mode – which means “idiot-proof mode” has to be utilised, but it complements my G1 perfectly! Besides, it’ll stave off my appetite for a camcorder (for now)…
Y/N?
Good riddance. What a loathsome year.
Will be gone for some jet skiing + wakeboarding holiday in a few hours! Bad idea, because exercise doesn’t go down very well with me. Please hope I land on my arse because that’s the only way it’ll be whipped into some semblance of a shape. It’s a blessing that I’ve to cut the trip short then.
