Bang Bing in the Bung until it goes Bong!

Boycott Bing!

I use Ixquick and Scroogle Scraper. The first one do not record IP address at all, the other one deletes after 48hours. The former have SSL optionally and the later SSL by default.

Google at least has considered pulling out of China altogether, rather than continue to help the Chinese government pursue its repressive policies.

The idea that Ubuntu may be contaminated with blood money is unsettling to me.
