  •  
    After the Secretary of State in the US Hillary Clinton's speech on Internet freedom, open source source code repository SourceForge.net blocked access to IP addresses originating in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. Open source software provides important infrastructure to these oppressed and developing nations. I hope the American government can see what a blow this is to the infrastructure and fledgling industries in these countries.

Korea to impose gaming curfew to curb minors' playtime - 0 views

  •  
    South Korean government started invervention to game addiction among the country's youth. it mgiht be pretty sad news for gamers but I agree with this. Too much violent and adult content computer games are indsicriminately exposed to anybody including chidlren. I am always surprised by the language and behaviour of the kids when they play computer games in internet cafes. As game addiction has been on the social issues for many years, it is time for the authorities to do the action.
