Visible Earth: Earth’s City Lights
A beautiful high resolution photograph from NASA of the Earth’s city lights. Simply beautiful, reminds me of a quote, scientist can only dream of going to space but it is the astronaut that goes to space, how ironic.
Even more than 100 years after the invention of the electric light, some regions remain thinly populated and unlit. Antarctica is entirely dark. The interior jungles of Africa and South America are mostly dark, but lights are beginning to appear there. Deserts in Africa, Arabia, Australia, Mongolia, and the United States are poorly lit as well (except along the coast), along with the boreal forests of Canada and Russia, and the great mountains of the Himalaya.

South Korea blocks foreign porn sites
I guess it is about time the world follows South Korea’s move, filtering internet content such as porn do not consider as internet censorship like what the western people wanted the east to believe. One of the reason being that no parents in the world wants their child to be expose to such materials, sure one can easily get those imitation pornography CDs on a street or simply download it on Bittorrent, but won’t it be easier to simply ban these kind of website?
I just couldn’t understand why The United States Supreme Court is considering whether it is unconstitutional for libraries to block access to internet porn sites.
The Ministry of Information and Communication said it will block 180 foreign sites by May and plans to ban access to others by end of this year after consulting with internet service providers.
It is about time the ICANN get their act together and set up the .xxx domain name for the sake of the world, it would be way much easier for every parents in the world. Goodness, think of the future.
