Welcome weary traveller your quest is over!

The Google Mirror is in fact a vitally important aesthetic commentary on mankind's lust to reprioritize its values to cope with the ever-changing nature of information.

this was mentioned on click-online on saturday (bbc news 24) as being a circumvention device to get around the great firewall of china.

(there's a page, btw, http://classic.sacbee.com/smile/webby/webby_040897/webby.html that'll let you see any other page backwards.)

now the google cache of itself, that's a waste of time...

Isn't it an attempt to get around chinese censors? That makes it quite useful to a few people surely?

two years pass...

"Amnesty International remains concerned that in their pursuit of new and lucrative markets, foreign corporations may be indirectly contributing to human rights violations or at the very least failing to give adequate consideration to the human rights implications of their investments. In its first report on State Control of the Internet in China, Amnesty International cited several foreign companies (Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Nortel Networks, Websense and Sun Microsystems), which had reportedly provided technology which has been used to censor and control the use of the Internet in China.(29)"
