Pakistan has to admit at least now that it is the breeding ground for terrorism and US citizens are also lured into it.Or could be they are framing these people to put US on the defensive.
Story:
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani police are pursuing terrorism charges against five detained American men, police said Friday, a move that could complicate efforts to bring the men back to the United States where they could also land in the courts.

It is no surprise for China shuts down its own people news about them.Loss is China’a.Chinese govt.has been taking Chinese people for granted on many area including Human Rights.Upheaval that is due, will be catastrophic.
Beijing issues rules to make the country more like North Korea.
This week, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released regulations, dated Dec. 15, requiring the registration of all Web sites.MIIT’s justification was the need to eliminate sexual content. As a Ministry spokesman stated, “This is about mobile pornography, it’s not referring to any other issue.”
The explanation, however comforting it sounds, is disingenuous. The wording of the rules is broad enough to cover all sites, domestic and foreign, whether or not they carry sex-themed material. “Domain names that have not registered will not be resolved or transferred,” the regulations state. In other words, unregistered sites will become unavailable to users in China.
Today, Beijing blocks a multitude of sites, in effect creating a blacklist. Under the new system, there will be a “whitelist”: only registered sites will be accessible inside the country. Once the regulation is fully implemented, China will no longer have an Internet. In effect, it will downgrade to an intranet. At this moment, there are perhaps 270 million Web sites across the world, and only a miniscule number of them will register with the Chinese authorities.

Most Expensive 2010 Cars
Got some extra change in the bank? Blow it on one of these pricey rides.
Last month, sales of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (MSRP: $90,000 to $202,000) were up almost 12% from November 2008. That’s unusual: Overall, the luxury segment was down 8% year-over-year, and is down 27% for the year to date.It turns out that while it’s tough to sell top-end luxury cars in a time of high unemployment and an uncertain economy, there are exceptions to the rule. Buyers will still flock to special cars with a lot of cachet and the price tags to match.

HP camera ‘can’t see’ black faces
Deliberate?
A YouTube video suggesting that face recognition cameras installed in HP laptops cannot detect black faces has had over one million views.
The short movie, uploaded earlier this month, features “Black Desi” and his colleague “White Wanda”.
When Wanda, a white woman, is in front of the screen, the camera zooms to her face and moves as she moves.
But when Desi, a black man, does the same, the camera does not respond by tracking him.
