Use CLUSTY

[Mr. Mulliner]

I was living in China during the whole Tiananmen thing. The next day, about all that was on TV was a short, 2- or 3-minute black and white film of students and other citizens visciously attacking PLA soldiers. It was so bizarre to see that film played over and over and over, obviously drumming it into people's heads that the soldiers were victims.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

[Winston Smith]

That book is just as scary today as when I read it in 1970. Orwell has a grim view of the future and I'm not that far yet.

I looked up "tanks" and it showed US tanks in Iraq and a leaking chemical tank in the US. Apparently they have neither kind of tank in China.

Thanks. I sent to Google your note, including the quote from Orwell. Maybe some Google employees will start to think.

[gridlock]

Thanks, but no tanks...

[mobyss]

Thank you! I have deleted my bookmark for Google news, and have substituted Clusty.

If Google was supporting South Africa in the 1980s there would be huge protests in front of their HQ. Instead, supporting the ultimate in liberal-leftist "utopia" - Communism goes unnoticed and unchallenged.

Google would have sided with the Nazis in 1940s Germany - no references to "Auschwitz" I'm sure on www.Google.nazi

China - Communist/Maoist/Marxist/Socialist/Progressive/Liberals.

China is just doing what all dictatorships do. They keep their people in the dark about how evil they are by using propaganda and hiding their evil with control of the visual, spoken and written media.

Google is just helping them with the oppression.

Does anyone have links for yahoo and msn searches in china?

[FReepaholic]

I like the fact that Clusty "clusters" the results into catagories.

Also, that it uses results farmed from other search engines such as - MSN Search, GigaBlast, Wisenut, Ask Jeeves, Looksmart, etc.

The one thing I don't like about Clusty as compared to Google is it's abilty to handle phrases in your search. Google does that much better.
