Mosaic Has a Really Bad Day...
You just know when both the German and French governments tell everyone to stop using Internet Explorer, someone at Microsoft is going to be unhappy.
Mosaic rolls over in his grave and sighs.

Well, if you had a market capital worth $153.4 billion, your government might begin to care about you too. Until then, you're on your own.Tuxman wrote:A pity that governments react when Google is attacked but no-one cares that thousands of IE users have been attacked before.
Meanwhile, the plot thickens, as they say.
Google's US-$ 153.4 billion are not of any interest for the German government as it is an US-American company. So I just wondered...

Considering the global context of the subject matter, it is irrelevant where the company claims to be based under tax license. Many companies are only "American" when it suits their purpose to be so; Google's investments are worldwide, and indeed is actually more popular (userbase-wise) in Europe than in America, as search providers go.
And if dear Angela were 30 years younger, she'd be more literal about being in bed with anything worth €108.4 billion.
You may be sure that Germany's Industrial Development Authority (whatever it may be called) has lobbied hard and long for Google's attention, and it was not time wasted.
(I had you pegged as being slightly more world-weary and cynical than the optimistic sounding belief that your government actually cares about you as anything more than a feudal serf with a mortgage.)

Hey, you'll note that I did subtract 30 years from the deer as a qualification of affection. And the word "profaning" gives it away, for our anti-bestiality conservative friends. (Yeah, carrying it too far, maybe.)
Funny thing about contemporary culture - as much as I decry and dismiss it, it's just as legitimate in context as any other popular reference - renowned, or not. (Google, Animalia, et al.) When in doubt, mix them together liberally to upset the established mien of cultural stuffiness.
Gods man, you'll be smoking a pipe next!
