Google didn't really black out, the logo just changed and now links to a petition. I signed it.

I'm also fairly certain that there's a way to get around the Wikipedia blackout.

Google works just fine. It just has a link to some SOPA related junk...

I know how. Well, one way. I went to jp.wikipedia.org and used google translate. Any language besides english is still up.

I can't even get to Google.com, it redirects me to my country's google, which isn't blacked out.

It's only the front page of Wikipedia that's blacked out.
