Online Business Opportunity

About 3 weeks ago, I signed up for an e-commerce business, and I am immediately seeing some results, thanks to the persistence and determination of my sponsor, who'd regularly update and meet up with our small team of about 15 proteges. And we are more or less in the same age range, late 30's and early 40's, and of course, one or two of extreme cases. But that's okay, there is no age barrier in this kind of business.

And my wife also sees the results, and methods, and at least, she is now comforted that I am using the computer to something good, not just simply browsing and wasting away time, and at the end of the day, nothing.

Well, it is an internet-based business, an e-commerce, and I am taught some new things at my middle-age years all things technology based.

If you are keen to join, just drop me a message here: pfmvidal[@]gmail[.]com. The sooner, the better.

This is serious business, and not for the faint-hearted. Don't worry, no previous experience required.

Hear from you!

China bans violent online games

Image via Wikipedia

For one, this I agree with what China is doing…

----------

BEIJING - China has banned websites from advertising or linking to games that glamorise violence, as part of a campaign to ensure social stability ahead of the 60th anniversary of communist rule on Oct 1.

The Culture Ministry said games that promote drug use, obscenities, gambling, or crimes such as rape, vandalism and theft are "against public morality and the nation's fine cultural traditions".

"Such online games promote the glorification of mafia life ... and are a serious threat to the moral standards of society causing vulnerable young people to be adversely affected," the ministry said.

The ban on the websites starts immediately. No details were given on how the law would be implemented.

Some companies have already started internal investigations and removed some games from their websites. Oak Pacific Interactive, which runs popular websites such as mop.com and kaixin.com, told AFP it had scrapped several games, including "All corners of the country" which features black market deals, vendettas and street fights.

Singapore to experience minimal effects of upcoming solar eclipse

Perhaps to allay the fears, if not to completely rebut the supposedly 'evil effects' of the solar eclipse, Singapore says that there is not much effect, no impact, nothing to fear, not to worry, about the upcoming solar eclipse.

Solar eclipse… good or bad?

Image via Wikipedia

Science against superstition, what is spoken is simply based on what these people believe in.

As it is defined, superstition is 'fear of the devil or demon', and as it is even more so based on mythology, it would be even more historically rooted in the deep faith and religion of the Indian folks.

So they say that the upcoming solar eclipse, when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, the total darkness will create chaos, wars, etc., etc. Bad, bad omen, then say.

I wouldn't want to tell the whole story, so go and read it here.

Glitches seen in China's web filtering software

Posted: 15 June 2009 1621 hrs

An internet bar in Beijing.

BEIJING: The designers of controversial Internet filtering software that China has ordered shipped with all new computers said they were trying to fix security glitches in the programme.

"Yes we are trying to fix it. But this is normal. Any software has bugs," Bryan Zhang, head of Jinhui Computer System Engineering, told AFP.

The code problems are the latest blow to the plan to include the filtering software with all PCs sold here from July 1, which has been criticised overseas and even in China as a bid at mass censorship and a threat to personal privacy.

The government says the Green Dam Youth Escort software is a vital tool needed to prevent young people from having access to pornographic websites.

Chinese authorities have a history of blocking sites that feature porn or politically unacceptable subjects such as the Tiananmen pro-democracy protests in 1989 and the banned spiritual group Falungong.

Last week, researchers at the University of Michigan who examined the software said it contained serious security vulnerabilities that could allow outside parties to take control of computers running it via remote access.

It also added that the software's text filter blocked words that included obscenities and phrases considered politically sensitive to China's ruling Communist Party.

"Other parties can say what they want. But I don't care what they say," Zhang said, declining further comment.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice to computer makers saying the software could either be pre-installed or included with PCs on a separate disc, and that users were not required to use it.

The move received an unusual amount of criticism in the state media last week.

An online poll by popular Chinese portal Sina.com last week found 81 per cent of respondents felt the move threatened their privacy, while nearly 72 per cent thought it would be ineffective in keeping youths from viewing pornography.

China has the world's largest online population at nearly 300 million Web users.

Anti-porn software raises other issues

Updated 11:22 AM Jun 10, 2009

WASHINGTON - Microsoft on Monday said a Chinese rule that personal computers sold in China include Web filtering software raises issues of freedom of expression, privacy, and security.

Computer makers have been told by the government that all personal computers sold from July 1 must be shipped with anti-pornography software.

Two of the biggest personal computer manufacturers in the United States, Hewlett-Packard and Dell, said they were seeking more information.

But the new rule remains contradictory, unclear, and contains no information on enforcement, said analyst Liu Ming. "This software may not be targeting politically-sensitive websites, which the government has already had some tools in place to control," said Mr Liu, who has downloaded and examined the software.

Yesterday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang defended the move, saying the software filters "unhealthy content, including pornography and violence". AGENCIES

'Evil' China sex park torn down: state media

Way to go… some things aren't really that worth putting up, even just thinking about…

Sex theme park in southwest China that has been ordered to be torn down

BEIJING, China: A sex theme park in southwest China that featured giant genitals and a sex-technique workshop has been torn down after officials said it had an "evil influence" on society, state media said Monday.

"Love Land" was due to open in Chongqing municipality ahead of China's national day on October 1, but it was ordered to close following an investigation by local authorities, the Global Times reported.

Besides displays on sex history and techniques, the park boasted a giant rotating statue of the lower portion of a nearly naked woman bent over at the waist.

The Global Times published a photo of workers in the Nan'an district of Chongqing pulling down the statue from a podium covered in flowers.

"The investigation determined the park's content was vulgar and that it was neither healthy nor educational," an official was quoted as saying.

"It had an evil influence on society and had to be torn down immediately."

He Shizhong, head of the municipal publicity department, said the company behind the park had "ignored its social responsibility and was interested only in profiting from sensationalism," the paper reported.

Images of the park's content found their way on the Internet last week and sparked widespread debate and controversy, with the majority of comment opposed to the site.

But some people expressed disappointment that the park had been torn down.

"The park was above board, so why was it pulled down? How can a country get powerful if it doesn't open its mind?" one person was quoted as saying in the newspaper.
