Desktop Computer The four Internet companies were criticized by Congressional Caucus members for failing to show up for aWhite Housebriefing to uncover how Internet companies do business in China. Their avoiding Washington's invitation could spell deeper probes by US lawmakers into the relationships of these Internet companies in China, not only with the Chinese government but in technology transfers the government may deem inappropriate.

Notebooks Last week Google launched its Chinese search engine, which drew considerable attention and criticism worldwide by human rights groups. Google admitted that it was cooperating with Chinese government authorities in preventing Internet users in China from carrying out searches bases on certain keywords, displaying a message to the user saying the search term was not permitted by authorities there.

Lenovo The Justice Department is suing Google over search records in the United States after the search engine refused to cooperate. The government says it needs the records to defend itself in a lawsuit over privacy issues. Microsoft's MSN, Yahoo! and AOL have all cooperated with the Justice Department probe, though none of the details of what information was released to regulators was disclosed by the search engines.

Hard Drive In a joint statement, Microsoft and Yahoo said the two companies are "deeply concerned about recent developments in China that have prompted this meeting of the Caucus." In mid-February when the Caucus meets again it could force the search engines into attending and most likely that will be the case.

Travelstar The statement said that Microsoft and Yahoo are "actively exploring whether there are potential approaches to guide the practices of our industry on these matters, not only in China, but also in other countries where Internet content is treated more restrictively than in the United States."

Gateway The search engines think that the US government should be more involved in communicating with the Chinese government over Internet usage and not pin down Yahoo and Microsoft to do it for them, seeming to snub lawmakers inquiries as if they were not at fault for how they do business with foreign governments.

Laptop Parts Global technology pundits say the search engines are doing business with foreign governments in ways they see as defining China and other geographies as emerging business opportunities.

Software Google's move at balking at the US Government's request to cooperate in its investigation is being seen as a contradiction in the way that Google is doing business with the Chinese government by restricting user access and ignoring user privacy when its telling the US government that it protects privacy and therefore cannot cooperate with the Justice Department.

Hard Drives Some are beginning to question whether Internet censorship is already occurring around the global without users even aware of it as the top search engines already put too much control into technology centers in China, India and Europe where personnel can both monitor and censor what users access - even to the degree of favoritism in what content US Internet users access on the Internet.

Electronics Google Newscame underfire last year over dominance of Chinese news on its US search engine over other publishers. Google had also cooperated with the Chinese government then in cutting off users in China from accessing Voice Of America news stories. AXcess News' world and national news feedspushed the VOA stories for several weeks after that before Google shut down our news worldwide in, saying their "Google News policy prohibited publishers from displaying third-party content." Yet Google has never published any policies relating to the web publishers its carries. Google referred to a Korean website that displayed the VOA RSS headlines in a side column, suggesting that it was the appropriate way to display that display that content. VOA's lawyer in Washington DC never responded to AXcess News' plea for help. After dropping VOA's news entirely, six months later Google permitted AXcess News' headlines to once again display in its English-language search engines globally.

Canon CNET was chastised by Google News last year as well after a story about Internet privacy written by one of the online news publisher's reporters used Google's President, Eric Schmidt as an example on how someone could look up personal information online. Schmidt became outraged over the article and sent a memo company-wide, baring any Google employee from communicating with CNET for one year. Schmidt's personal information was removed from the Internet - but the same kind of information on anyone else is still available and Google believes that its ok, that its not an invasion of privacy - as long as its not their information.

Desktop Pc Google has even come under fire for insiders selling $500 million in stock just before the search engine released its latest quarterly report that disclosed steep hits to the company's income taxes, which Google argues it has never been the policy of the corporation to release guidance. The Securities and Exchange Commission would not confirm to AXcess Newswhether it was probing into the company's disclosure practices.Google's stock lost over 20% of its value when the lower earnings were finally disclosed.
