Geek News: Google and Chinese Cyberattacks

Was anybody surprised? Really? Blurb:
Google, which disclosed on Tuesday that hackers had penetrated the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights advocates in the United States, Europe and China, threatened to shutter its operations in the country as a result.

I should clarify: was anybody really surprised that China would do something squirrelly? Anyway, at least Google finally remembered its own "Don't Be Evil" motto after initially going into China with all the moral fiber of a limp strand of spaghetti. More here. Hey, is Google now showing more nerve than our State Dept.?
