More news…

I suspect this case will grow to be as big a Right To Die issue as the Schiavo case was. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. Time will tell what happens…

In other news, Google has refused to comply with a federal subpoena asking to see search requests it handles, presumably to learn more about who is looking at pornography (shocking as this may seem, some people search for, and find, pornography on the internet!). Google, standing firm under its motto to “do no evil” claims that divulging this information, even if it contains nothing that links any searches with actual people, would be a violation of the privacy of the users of its search engine. Google seems to be the only company who has stood up to such requests. I have more and more respect for Google as the days go on. The only thing I see wrong with Google is its ongoing legal battle against the shopping website Froogles. At this point, Google and Costco are the only companies with my admiration.

    Wow

    Those are both issues whose outcomes will send waves. Im going to need to keep myself posted on those. Thanks for the info.

    And my respect for Google totally jumped 100% with that. That’s scary, what the government is now requesting, esp. paired with the eavesdropping…
