[Guest Matt Kirby]

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.

Ahhh, OK. ;)

I thought they'd sold out to the Chinese a while ago anyway

[Guest Matt Kirby]

Apparently it's been a long-term project and thier last sell-out forced them to come clean.

April Fool !?!

[Guest Matt Kirby]

You think?

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Er...yeah?

Same as the story on Bush staying on for a third term ;)

[Guest Matt Kirby]

Oh, is Bush staying as well?

[Guest fraser]

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? ;)

[Guest Matt Kirby]

Yeah, the scary thing about the Register story is that it's just a bit too believable.
