surprise

Woke up this morning and my big "G" search engine is routed to the
"HK"-based "G" site. Ugly. I think both sides are stupid. Now, my
Firefox browser's top right corner "G" search sends me to "HK"
automatically rather than my usual Western-based search results.
it's just getting harder to find what I need from the "HK" search
results. I have a browser with an option which so convenient for me
from before is now totally useless. Umm... Maybe "Bing!" now for me.
Ha! I have to to hardcode "www.google.ca" to my default start up page
for my brower so I can do my search.

O yeah, if one types "www.google.com" from a web browser inside the
big motherland, whether you can read Chinese or NOT, you get the
"HK"based Chinese Google website. Right. You guys are really smart.
You can change to English though if you can read Chinese! At the
bottom of the page, it said in Chinese "Google.com.hk also provides
simplified Chinese and English". Then at the very very bottom of the
page, you see the fine print "Google.com in English". With all the
Chinese in front of a user, how much panic do you think one will have
and how many cool heads will look and find the "English".
