maidou,
I guess what makes google so phenomenally successful is it delivers for both the web savvy and unsavvy (like me).
A lot of Chinese still opt for the local search engine baidu. But they actually have a joint service: baigoogledu, which displays both engines and results on the same page, juxtaposed. Quite interesting.

I thought the whole Googling stuff to compare the result set count was something only computer geeks like me did. Or, maybe you’ve become one of us?

i’m betting that as long as the world-class basketball and football players don’t utter anything involving the 3 Ts, people in China are going to continue to enjoy watching and following the games.

Mickey,
Thanks a lot for your support! Canada is wonderful. I am visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame tomorrow.

I like your last paragraph. Comes to show that sports truly is a globally unifying factor. Who can ever forget Ping Pong diplomacy? Or when wars would stop just so people can watch Pele? And a more dramatic power of sports, especially football/soccer, can be seen in the reaction and fanfare when the Brazilian national team visited war-torn Haiti in 2004 (or was it 2005? I forget, but watching the video on Youtube speaks volumes of the power of sports!).

Good job Jenny! Hope you’re having a good time in Canada!
