I live in Brooklyn, NY with Anna and Hubble+Ollie. I perform music with French Miami, engineer software for Tumblr and co-created Views.fm.

From the Official Google Blog: A new approach to China:
“These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered—combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web—have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.”Emphasis mine.
Google standing up to the Chinese government! Immensely commendable.
