Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 InfoWorld Google videos nixed, Sony seeks a fix What happens when limitless power meets limited brain cells? By Robert X. Cringely® February 24, 2006 Here’s more proof corporate America has lost its marbles: Web designer Paul Dell is being sued over the domain Dellwebsites.com by you know who. It’s the second time Dell has sued Dell in the past five years. Next up: lawsuits against Dell Publishing, the Farmer in the Dell, and the city of Dell Rapids, S.D. Google’s China Syndrome? Apparently the Chinese are not the only folks getting less than the Full Monty from Google (Profile, Products, Articles). When U.S. citizen Bill O. used Google video search to check out footage of an explosion in Iraq, he received a “ This video is not playable in your country” message, even though Netizens in Canada and the U.K. can watch the “Big Boom” just fine. But Google isn’t to blame for this one; whoever uploads a video can block any country from viewing it. In this case the videohead appears to be a member of U.S. coalition forces, and doesn’t want (or isn’t allowed) to let American viewers watch things go boom.
