They are thinking about pulling out. Believe it or not china is only a fraction of google. China pretty block everything that google owns like Twitter, Facebook and even youtube and maybe even myspace.

Google makes their money off Twitter,Myspace, Facebook and youtube. So their is pretty good chane they will pull out

Google report that their Gmail system got penetrated??? (*raises eyebrow)) ;-\ Why would they admit to that? They have the best people to design their security policy and implement the most robust and secure system. It's hard to believe that they got hacked. Even if its true, admitting to such penetration is devastating to Google's reputation.

I certainly hope Google finally lives up to its stated values and severs ties with the repressive regime in China.
