This is interesting. A Briton who operated a net piracy gang out of his Australian home is jailed in the US for 51 months. What a borderless world we are living in right now.

This is a good way to use solar energy.

I read this article this morning:

http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/05/23/china-splitting-hairs-over-stem-cells/

It's about two key Chinese public intellectuals—one a tv news personality and the other a crusader against intellectual fraud and traditional Chinese medicine—battle on stem cell research on their PhoenixTV blogs.

Being not a scientist nor am I an expert in any area, I've found the debate very inspiring. It makes me think about how we. as a layman, can be easily misled by unverified hearsay/report. The lesson learned is not to jump into conclusion without having a good understanding of the subject.

Sometime I wonder what's going on with this world. Never thought of a boy can chopped his mother's head off, then visited an internet cafe before turning in to the police with his mother's head in a carrying bag... Are we spending adequate time listening to what the youth are expressing now, I wonder...

I read this article about generation gap between Japanese youth and adult is closing and one should not judge another simply by appearance. Admittedly, not judging someone by appearance is not easy but it's indeed worth the effort.
