The official Beijing 2008 Olympics does provide a much more comprehensive result, but sometimes this can come in handy due to your company’s internet filter policy, I doubt they would ban Google in your workplace, would they?

Having said that, you can pretty much do anything with Google, from tracking your UPS parcel to converting various units by inputting the keyword into Google search box. This is not exceptional for this medal count 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Just type in the keywords as shown in the screen shot below to extract the much needed information on:

Medal count 2008 olympics
Olympic Football Results
Olympic Swimming Timetable/schedule

Medal count 2008 olympics results, timetable and schedule

Medal count 2008 olympics results, timetable and schedule

On the other hand, Google news does provide a much more in depth report on the medal counts 2008 Olympics and Olympic Events schedule and latest news.

Again, this comes pretty handy in work environment where the internet is censored or filtered, after all, Google is the best search engine in town and any company or office would be crazy enough to block it.

Free Tibet Movement and the Beijing Olympics 2008

I don’t normally post articles that touches on social-politics but felt strongly about the free Tibet issue, which has caught the world’s attention due to the Beijing Olympics 2008.

From a personal point of view, I believe Tibet should be partially free, not fully, and I am strongly against China’s policy of whipping off Tibetans’ culture and replace it with the Chinese culture. A person that believes in whipping off another person’s culture should walk the talk and eat a single type of food throughout their entire life, because that is what mono-culture about and the easiest way to understand the downside of mono-culture is non other than food. Yes, same food throughout their entire life.

Now, what annoy me about the Free Tibet movement are the talks on Human Rights by westerners, the American, Australians, and Canadians are products of colonization, their ancestors murdered the natives and rob them of their land, literally wipe them off from the world.

The Chinese media in China say: “These products of colonization should pack their bags and go back to Europe before they talk about the Chinese colonizing Tibet.”

I say, that’s arrogant. Both the Chinese, Americans, Australians, Canadians and many more are wrong, nobody is perfect, but it is hard for a thief to trial a thief for stealing something right?

Tibet will be Tibet, it should be partially free - politically, but not military and economically. Tibet has so much to lose if it breaks free from China, well, at least that is my point of view, and not everyone shares that.

Should we close an eye on this whole Tibet issue? I say, if the Americans and Australians and many more believes in the idea of an independent Tibet because the people of Tibet wants to be free, then they should leave Iraq, because I doubt the Iraqi wants them to be there, isn’t democracy beautiful? It is only beautiful if everyone listens to you.
