I finally settled on Bloglines for the Blogroll and Del.icio.us for my Links. I have been using Bloglines for over a year now as my main RSS Reader and have been extremely satisfied with it. I tired several other solutions but nothing gave me the ease of use and features …
Tae Yeon and Sun Ye 3rd Most Search Term on Daum (Yesterday)
“Tae Yeon Sun Ye” is the 3rd most searched keyword right now (actually yesterday) on daum and its been steadily climbing up the charts. What’s the reason behind this? Apparently, a netizen had made a UCC (user created content) video comparing the two lovable leaders and now netizens are buzzing about how they are so similar! so true~: they’re both petite, they look like the maknae of their group, they’re full of energy, they’re talented, they both sang a duet with Shin Hye Sung, and they’re bot
Taiwan’s President Speaks to the People of the People’s Republic
A radio interview with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou was co-broadcast by Taiwanese and mainland media this morning, the first time Mr. Ma spoke directly to a mainland audience since he took office. (The live broadcast in Chinese can be viewed here) On Nov 26, Hong Kong-based ifeng.com post a notice on its Web site about the interview it planned to jointly broadcast with Taiwanese media. Soon after, hundreds of thousands of mainland Web users filled the site with comments. In less than a da
Thinking Through the Debris of Terror: After Bombay
Last week’s terror attacks on Bombay/Mumbai, for which there can be no justification whatsoever, have targetted railway stations, restaurants, hospitals, places of worship, streets and hotels. These are the places in which people gather. where the anonymous flux of urban life finds refuge and sustenance on an everyday basis. By attacking such sites, the tactics of the recent terror attack (like all its predecessors) echo the tropes of conventional warfare as it developed in the twentieth centu

Owing Your Internet Connection
Are you tired of your internet service provider (ISP) changing the rules? Have you had enough of limitations and reading new ISP regulations? Professor Tim Wu from the Columbia Law School is applying an old concept to the internet connection. He is suggesting that a possible solution is owning the internet connection: “…In a study released last Thursday, the same day the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission issued a verdict allowing Bell Canada Inc. to continue slowing c

Girl Says No Car No Marriage, Boy Buys Ferrari 360
From Mop: I love her too much and truly cannot leave her, but she is too materialistic. After returning from Singapore, she seems to have become a different person, and since then I have been very unhappy within my heart with her change. Today, I went to her house, and the topic of marriage came up. Her family is all very satisfied with me and I did not say anything, but she actually said in front of her family that if I do not buy a car then we cannot marry. MB, it is not as if I cannot a
Chinese Bloggers Win Big at Best of Blogs Awards
Chinese bloggers made a strong showing at this year’s The Best of Blogs awards (aka “The BOBs”), an international blog competition organized by German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle. According to the BOBs’ Web site, it claims to be the world’s largest international blog contest, with awards offered in 11 different language categories by both expert juries and public voting online. Beijing lawyer Liu Xiaoyuan was awarded the jury prize for best Chinese blog. Liu, who was featured in an earli
Well, Who Wouldn’t Get Angry Watching Your Wife Wash Some Fat Black Lady’s Feet?
Song Seung-hwan, the producer of the hit non-verbal performance NANTA, is in trouble following a comment on MBC program Wednesday in which he made a comment judged by many to be racist. Song was discussing his salad days, when he and his wife moved to New York in 1985. Song ran a street stall selling watches, while his wife worked in a nail salon. Well, on the first day, he finished work and went to pick up his wife, he said. But he felt strange when he saw her in a corner washing the feet of
The Case Against Cyber-Bullying
For all the courts’ poor rep of lawyers getting clients off on technicalities and the possibility of corruption affecting the process, an open record of evaluation is still the best way to resolve an issue. Both sides get to present their case, and hopefully the public record will at least serve as a lesson for society in general. The lesson from Megan Meier’s suicide and Lori Drew’s trial is clear: online harassment can be very dangerous, because it can affect a target on a very deep level, e
Speedy Execution for Convicted Cop-Killer Who Aroused Public Sympathy
Yang Jia, the 28-year-old man who was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing six Shanghai policemen, was executed on Wednesday morning, according to Chinese media reports, bringing to a close an unusual case that aroused a rarely seen level of public sympathy for a convicted killer.

TV news gets on high horse about the evil internet again
On TV3 news: another tut-tut story, via CBS, about how dangerous and horrible the internet is, this time about the voyeurs who did nothing while a netizen, Adrian Biggs, committed suicide online, live. It’s to be expected: old media are still scared of new media, so any story about the evils of the internet will be accepted with greater glee than in a rational world. While the story of the suicide is morbid and it does rightly highlight that there were thousands of uncaring people out ther
Etika Blogger : Baguslah, Syed Hamid Dah Tergadah!
KEMASKINI : Berikut ialah contoh Etika Bloggers yang dicadangkan oleh Cyberjournalist.net:Some bloggers recently have been debating what, if any, ethics the Weblog community should follow. Since not all bloggers are journalists and the Weblog form is more casual, they argue they shouldn't be expected to follow the same ethics codes journalists are. But responsible bloggers should recognize that they are publishing words publicly, and therefore have certain ethical obligations to their readers, t
Availing Free Text Messages
If you are a frequent netizen or an avid mobile phone user, you cannot rule out the benefits of free messaging. In fact, most amongst us prefer to send SMS to particular destination than to make calls because the former is much cheaper than the latter. With the emergence of consumerism, there have emerged some of the better and convenient options like sending free SMS through Internet that have proved to be much more lucrative and reliable. There are various websites that provide the facility

Please don't steal my content...and Bollywood's
A good netizen (internet citizen) and regular visitor to this blog was kind in contacting me today to let me know that a certain website has plagiarized and presented as their own my translations to some Yuvvraaj songs (I haven't bothered to check what else they copied; links to all my translations are available here). On their site, they've included my translations of three (and only the three I
