Como Estan! Hope everyone enjoyed their winter break - I know I did. I might have even enjoyed it a little too much, for this morning I was still recovering from a rough night in my 9 A.M. class. Anyways sorry for the lack of posts, with this new semester I will strive to make up for my laziness by posting great, and NEW, exciting material! wooo. So here is my latest post, (accompanied by some sweet, custom artwork done by myself):
$589.85. An increase by 2.76; that is the current price on Google's stock (NYSE: GOOG). Yet such a quote could possibly drop due to the latest move by Google co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, to completely withdraw all Google operations from China . A recent Yahoo article speculates that the maneuver might stem from Google's manifesto, stating:
"Don't be evil.... We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served -- as shareholders and in all other ways -- by a company that does good things for the world."
As indicated by this moralistic (even fundamentalistic) rhetoric, there are two keywords in the above statement that worry me -- good and evil. Add the above to a mixture of China's stance on both human and free speech rights, and you have quite the lethal combination. Props to Brin and Page for being virtuous, but such a maneuver to pull Google completely out of China because of moralistic principles could cost the company mucho dinero. Yet could it be possible for the move to make Google some serious bucks as well? Only time will tell...
