I, for one, do care about this.

what the hell does Schmidt have to do with this? He oversees Google, he doesnt run every department.

The really weird thing about this is, I believe Daum has better street view maps in Korea (based on my limited sample). Therefore, I think this is partially a protectionist measure to keep one of it's largest search engines at the top of the game.]]>Aug 10th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/Aug 10th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/The Google Ghosts are targetting the place now.]]>Aug 10th 2010 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/Aug 10th 2010 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/Aug 10th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/Aug 10th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/googles-south-korean-offices-raided-by-police-as-part-of-street/

I'm pretty sure the "don't be evil" company would never reveal the dirt themselves, unless they were pressed to do it. So yes, government work can be good for people too.
And, oh yeah, I find the amount of US commenters shocked with a foreign goverment auditing US company funny. I bet if it was US government doing it, there would be way less shock going around.

And it would be ignorant to believe that they did not know what they were doing.

Info that they have taken is priceless to advert companies. They know what you look at, and how often as well. Some more personal info can be gained by doing a simple IP search, and voila, you have a "customer". All their contact info, Facebook page, where they shop, what porn sites they go to...
Mind you one customers info is worth less than a buck, but added up across North America, some MAJOR coin is to be had. And had is all you will be if you believe that Google didnt know that this code found its way into its street cars a FULL year after it was made, and "scraped".]]>Aug 10th 2010 10:27AM
