Guest Matt Kirby Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 The People's Republic of China has acquired a controlling stake in the United States' fastest growing technology company, Google. Google announced the transfer of 140m shares of Class B stock to a new entity owned by the Chinese Ministry of Information Page and Brin sell-out! Full story on The Reg.

Guest chucky.egg Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Ahhh, OK. ;) I thought they'd sold out to the Chinese a while ago anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Kirby Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Apparently it's been a long-term project and thier last sell-out forced them to come clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Er...yeah? Same as the story on Bush staying on for a third term ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Kirby Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Oh, is Bush staying as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Actually, Bush will likely do a third term IMHO. There will be a terrorist attack just prior to the election, forcing it to be cancelled. Under the current US constitution, they can't reschedule it, it needs to be on a set day. Will Landbrokes take a wager on this, or should I just book my ticket to TortureLand, Cuba now? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Kirby Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah, the scary thing about the Register story is that it's just a bit too believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
