They could set up a Chinese Spam and Hacking Reporting Center for the World. Google would be so big, that they could influence the Chinese government to crack down on these ISP's.

This is very interesting.

I often talk with webmasters cohort in my city. Most of us, if not all, agree that G$, though widely recognized a hi-tech company, is indeed a super maketing & PR firm. We, from our own experience, do not see any significant technical difference between G$ and Y$. Yahoo, however, also gives us the impression of lagging behind Google. We do not think it is a technical issue.

Google is just a business, and the core value of G$, forgetting about its beautiful slogan, is making $$. I personally believe G$ will be the next M$. Many folks do not like Microsoft, esp in the industry of open source. Ironically, many of them are fans of Google.

G$'s marketing and PR stories should be cases in every MBA marketing textbook.
