Comments: 1 +-   Asian Nations Battle for Google Data Center-> on Tuesday January 29 2008, @10:59AM 1sockchuck

1sockchuck writes "Google is pitting foreign governments against one another in a battle for a major new data center in Asia. In the past week, both the prime minister of Malaysia and economic minister of Taiwan have said their countries are leading candidates for the Google project, with Japan, South Korea, India and Vietnam also mentioned as contenders in an 18-nation site selection process. Google typically invests $600 million in each new data center. Tech companies often use multi-site searches as a tool to coax incentives out of local governments, which sweeten their offers to outbid rivals from other regions. Google's Asian initiative appears to be taking this strategy to a new level, coaxing heads of state to invest political capital in their lust for one of Google's mega-datacenters."

  • Please, Google, Please Come To Malaysia !

    Come to Malaysia and Google would have a lot more Islamic propagandas ! When people do searches on Google on Osama Bin Laden, they would be informed that Osama is a Hero ! A Freedom Fighter ! A Saint !

    But there's a catch ... Malaysia will NEVER allow any Jewish content to be stored in Malaysia. Malaysia hates Jews ! If Google comes to Malaysia, when people do searches on Jews, all they will get is a picture of a rotten Jewish corpse.

    Please, Google, Please Come To Mal
