Linky Goodness, April 23

I’d almost forgotten that Linky Goodness is an acronym, too. It stands for Little Items of News to Keep You GOing On to Do Neat, Exciting and Successful Stuff. So let’s get to it, shall we?
- Steve Ballmer says Microsoft won’t raise their Yahoo offer. How about a new slogan for Yahoo? Even our wins are actually losses.
- Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the Justice Dept looking is at the Google/Yahoo deal. (via). How’s that new slogan sounding now?
- Surprise, surprise: Someone doesn’t think China has any reason to use Wikipedia, preferring instead the China-based Baidupedia. “It’s very natural for China to make its own products,” said scientist William Chang. Um, yeah . . . if the whole censorship thing doesn’t bug you.
- Speaking of which, ReadWriteWeb says that Internet censorship is coming to Russia. Was I alone in assuming it was already there?
- One last scary legally story, this time a bit closer to home: the FBI wants widespread monitoring of ‘illegal’ Internet activity.
- The slow roll out started two weeks ago, but now Facebook Chat is finally live to all users.
- And best for last: Have you laughed yet today? Check it: SEOmoz presents Google Search Results Missing from OneBox.
Phew. Now, don’t you feel informed/entertained/etc?

Officially you should provide your real passport fate if you want to register domain *****.ru, so you can do conclusion the same. Besides that’s the reason because of commercial Russian sites may pressure from officials, but in most cases in order to get bribes, not for censorship.
