internet - Look for the difference in Google sites

Google Blogoscoped compared the differences between google.com and google.cn. A very good exercise to see how manipulative the online searches actually can be. Now we believe that Google, Yahoo and other search engines are not manipulating their results. But how sure can we be? The Google-decision to censor their China site (although their global site can also be seen in China) might open a much wider discussion on how trustworthy the search results are.

Update: C-Net made a more thorough comparison between the three US search engines Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
Google's new China search engine not only censors many Web sites that question the Chinese government, but it goes further than similar services from Microsoft and Yahoo by targeting teen pregnancy, homosexuality, dating, beer and jokes.
