A quote from New York Times

New York Times
Editorial Board

“The political upside of attacking the court may be short-lived. It is one thing for a president to forcefully disagree with a decision. But to engage in a public back-and-forth with the chief justice is fraught with risk.”


A quote from Tom Krazit

Tom Krazit
Staff Writer for CNet News

“It appears very unlikely that China will change its Internet censorship laws for Google. Government officials have consistently reminded Google and other Internet companies that they are subject to the laws of the country just like any other business.”


A quote from Larry Dignan

Larry Dignan
Editor in Chief of ZDNet

“Both China and Google have hardened their positions. The news isn’t all that surprising. China wasn’t going to cave to Google or it would open a Pandora’s Box where other Web companies would stop censoring results. And Google boxed itself in with its stance two months ago.”


A quote from Bill Bishop

“Google is naive if they think they can close or force the closure of Google.cn and still retain any sort of a positive relationship with the Chinese government. From the perspective of its global business, Google may now have more to gain by “burning its boats” in China.”


A quote from Tom Foremski

Tom Foremski
Journalist, Silicon Valley Watcher

“It is unlikely that Google can maintain operations within China because any foreign business requires the approval of the Chinese government. Google has shown itself to be in opposition to the Chinese government -- this is an untenable position.”


A quote from Ben Parr

Ben Parr
Associate Editor of Mashable

“Google’s going to finally make the stand it promised to make two months ago. It’s unfortunate that it allowed time to rust the shine of its declaration and take away much of the principle and authority that made the decision so powerful and inspiring.”


A quote from Li Yizhong

Li Yizhong

“If [Google] takes steps that violate Chinese laws, that would be unfriendly, that would be irresponsible, and they would have to bear the consequences”


A quote from Eric Schmidt

Eric Schmidt
CEO, Google

“It’s very important to know we are not pulling out of China. We have a good business in China. This is about the censorship rules, not anything else.”


A quote from Stan Schroeder

Stan Schroeder
Features Editor of Mashable

“Although the iPad has created an enormous hype, one mustn’t forget that the jury is still out on whether it’ll be a huge success or a complete flop. It’s not only a new device, it’s a new type of device, and we’re eager to see what kind of ripples it’ll do to the IT market.”


A quote from Erica Sadun

Erica Sadun

“We don't buy early because it's a good deal. We don't buy early because it's fiscally sound. We buy early because the technology is cool and we simply cannot or do not want to wait for our preciousssssss to finally come home with us. We are the People Who Stand In Line.”
