I'll settle for evidence of the in trusion. Now that the IE hole was patched, why not reveal it? Consider this crazy far out alternative hypothesis(I know you people will think I am a pinko Commie but really I am not-even though I am from MA. I am just thinking about the money-=strictly who will benefit) :
1) Google needs content. Content is what drives clicks - and they are the masters at deriving profits from clicks. The censoring of Tianamen plus other juicy human rights issues limits the traffic that Google can drum up. Google needs growth to maintain its crazy stock price valuation.
2)How can Google get to use this censored content? How can Google find an excuse to drop the censorship-easy- claim they have been 'wronged' and position their action as a response. This way Google maintains the moral high ground AND opens up traffic.
Without any proof either way, we are victims of smoke blowers.
Aside from the particulars of this case, consider the following analogy- suppose you come across this intelligent population that has until now not seen the internet. The world is intensely curious about this new tribe living on an isolated island that has learned to do things without technology and whose members live to be 200 years old. (For argument's sake, let's call these people the Na'Vi). Google wants to put these people on the net so that the world's insatiatiable curiosity can be quenched (and google can derive billions of clicks on their ads in the process). Should Google be allowed to invade the space of the Na'Vi?
See I don't know if you simply didn't read the news or you have some problem with your reading comprehension. Google made 2 very simple claim.
1) China hacked into Chinese human right's activists gmail account.
2) Censorship on Google.cn and filtered search engine.
on Claim #1, companies including Yahoo have stepped forward and made the similar claim
Claim #2, unless you live in a cave, you'd know that common knowledge. So I don't know what kind of "evidence" and "proof" you are looking for.
And you have to be ignorant to think Google is doing this for profit. 1) Google will never get China to do what it wanted going public like this. China is all about face and complying with Google after this very public thing means losing face which Chinese government will never do. So with their very public putting salt on Chinese's wound accusation, Google can forget about China lifting the censorship, and they will be looking at more attacks and hacking. 2) This will hurt Google's other business initiatives. If you keep up with business news, you'd know Google is putting lots of money and effort on mobile OS and phone with it's Android. Guess which country has the biggest mobile market with subscribers twice the entire US population? Guess which country has the biggest presence in mobile technology and manufacturing.
So I don't know what exactly you are getting at. You are trying to find proof where the claim is common knowledge and you have a theory that totally ignores the political and business reality.
Oh and by the way, both Gmail and Google.cn and google search engine is the property of Google, so I don't get what your Na'Vi analogy is trying to get at and what Google is trying to invade.
