Your Potential, Our Passion (To Quash It) II

In case you missed it, more profit maximizing behavior from Microsoft:

BEIJING, Jan. 5 - Microsoft has shut the blog site of a well-known Chinese blogger who uses its MSN online service in China after he discussed a high-profile newspaper strike that broke out here one week ago.

The decision is the latest in a series of measures in which some of America's biggest technology companies have cooperated with the Chinese authorities to censor Web sites and curb dissent or free speech online as they seek access to China's booming Internet marketplace.

This is nothing new. When China's patriots finally overthrow their government, I hope they remember who helped squash their freedom.
