Google Says Microsoft Waging Proxy War

No Comments

I am of course biased towards the comments made by, me, which state:

Sprinkle some Open Source Intelligence with a profit motive and it only makes sense that the evil empire is guilty of this charge. However, Google would be foolish to not be doing the exact same thing. I am curious to know if Google complaining about this will help them in any way or make their insane amount of various market control more visible … ie, make them a bigger target.

But one significant threat already exists: cyberwar. Attacks—not just from China but from Russia and elsewhere—on America’s electronic networks cost millions of dollars and could in the extreme cause the collapse of financial life, the halt of most manufacturing systems, and the evaporation of all the data and knowledge stored on the Internet.
