Securing that kind of venture for any period of time would be a massive undertaking which I don't think a smaller company ever could handle.

Very irresponsible and the newspapers labeling him a "maverick" clearly fail to understand the danger he is subjecting these children to. People who experiment with children aren't mavericks, we usually call them abusive but hey maverick sounds good in the title.

But that's not how people think. As a group they'll make a decision based on what is the easiest, fastest and most convenient. Unfortunately Google would have to do something horrible enough that it morally repulses people. Short of that, it's easy to use, fast and everywhere. Gmail and YouTube are used by enormous amounts of people straight through the company and it won't change anytime soon.

By the same virtue you could also put Lebanon, Israel, the Shiite part of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Turkey and Iran there too. Notice though how there aren't wars there (all the time). Splitting those countries wouldn't really help. But it is fun to play country maker.
