GoDaddy, the largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the world, appears to blocked in Mainland China.
I cannot visit the homepage of godaddy.com with the normal operation in China, but the domain manager can be opened. This problem has the same phenominon as which happend in August 2008.
What happens?
Several days ago in Hong Kong, some eggs were found containing melamine, which were imported from China mainland. The authorities of Hong Kong have been expanding the test ranges from eggs to products made of poultry or livestock.
It seems that there is nothing we can eat, especially poultry and livestock products. Whether the vegetables or fruit can be eaten? There were problems with them: excessive chemicals, pesticides, even ripening agent. Too chemical products has been used on agricultural products. Because the vegetables and fruits need to be fresh, the chemical residues are more than which can be keeped for a long time.
It looks like that only cereal food is edible. I believe these cereal products is better than those food above.
All in all, the tainted milk, contaminated eggs make China shameful. It is time to rebuild the food safety and confidence on Chinese products, which is not only the responsibility of enterprises, but government’s obligation.
Everyday, we use cellphones to talk to family, friends, colleagues. It seems that we cannot live without cellphones. But do you know who made it possible? I do not, either, until I read a news online at nytiimes.com: Amos E. Joel Jr., Cellphone Pioneer, Dies at 90. It is a pity that we know his name after he passed away.
Amos E. Joel Jr., an inventor whose switching device opened the way for the cellular phone business, died Oct. 25 at his home in Maplewood, N.J. He was 90.
Mr. Joel received more than 70 patents, but he was perhaps best known for No. 3,663,762, a 1972 patent that allows a cellphone user to make an uninterrupted call while moving from one cell region to another. “Without his invention, there wouldn’t be all these people walking around with cellphones,” said Frank Vigilante, who was one of Mr. Joel’s supervisor at Bell Labs. “He really allowed that business to form and to be a business.”

Settling a legal battle, Google reached an agreement with book publishers and authors that clears the way for both sides to more easily profit from digital versions of printed books.
The agreement, under which Google would pay $125 million to settle two copyright lawsuits over its book-scanning efforts, would allow it to make millions of out-of-print books available for reading and purchasing online.
I think this is good to two sides, google, and authors or publishers. Google can get profit from online search. Authors can become well known through Internet. Since Internet was a information center, book dealers/publishers sell books, magzines, journals on-line. More successful is the marketing.
It also has advantages to readers, because they have chance to read some out-of-print books of digital version online.
the book scanning technology can make people read the book with their original style: formats, style, etc. readers can preview it, then make a decision whether buy it or not.
