No.216 Of Don't Do Evil

I was speaking to a friend last night who used to be Head Chef at a top London Hotel. She did this for 10 years before deciding one night she'd had enough and she threw in the towel and oven gloves too I guess. She explained that the pressure in a top kitchen is like nothing else she's every experienced since. She said it's the only job she knows in which you have to get everything right straight off and there's no room to hide. You can't decide not to do something you don't like doing or choose to do it a little bit later or simply another time. It's all in real time and getting the perfect result first time. I think she's right. Mines a beans on toast please.

According to the news today Google is retreating on its policy of allowing China to censor it searches. Google's liberal motto of "Don't do evil" appeared under great strain when it first agreed to this with the Chinese government. So what happens now I wonder? If you're in Beijing and you Google "Today's Summary Executions" what do you get a page saying "information unobtainable"?
