SearchYC.com

I find myself frequently bumping into comments (e.g., http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1178984) indexed in Google and wanting to read the root submission. But I annoyingly have to click through a series of "parent" links to do so.

Could we get a "root parent" link there, in addition to the already-existing "parent" link?

EDIT: djg suggests "top" is a better name and it sounds good to me too.

Google.cn is still up and running and it's definitely still censored.

Anyone have updates on what's going on with the story? Is Google still planning on carrying through with the following threat?

"We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China." (1/12/2010)
