    Aren't there some kind of rules for the length of domain names? Why didn't Google buy g.com and use it everywhere? They certainly have the money for it.

    g.cn sucks. If I were a Chinese, I would treat this as an insult to my memory.

    I seriously hope G doesn't get their hands on China, as well. I think they have enough power.
