Best China News Sources Online?

My Friend recommended CNTV -- do you know of any others? Are there representatives of types such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Mother Jones?

Flock Taps Google's Chromium to Bring Speed and Social to the Browser

Remember Flock? I played with it a few years ago but it failed to woo me away from Firefox.


Chris Crum's report, headline linked above, is actually more interesting to me as a Chrome OS market-share update. 


But I may just have to give Flock another spin. Are you interested in Flock? Have you been using it lately? How do you like the new compared with the old?

Here in Seattle, we're not hearing much about the Expo, not even on National Public Radio.

Glad to learn about it from Google Buzz.

Google Maps previews in Gmail and Google Buzz

Monday, June 07, 2010 | 4:05 PM

Posted by Mark Knichel, Software Engineer

I often receive emails containing addresses in them — where to meet for dinner, the location of my friend's new apartment, etc. To find out where these places actually are, I have to copy the address, open up Google Maps, and paste it in. Today, we're making it easier to see maps of all the addresses you receive in Gmail and Google Buzz.

Enable "Google Maps previews in mail" from the Gmail Labs tab under Settings, and any time you receive an address or a Google Maps link in an email, a preview will appear containing an interactive Google Map of that location. Any Google Maps URL will work, but we currently only extract US addresses (we're working on making addresses around the world work).

HTC EVO 4G REPORTEDLY SOLD OUT

June 11, 2010: The HTC EVO 4G smartphone just launched, and reports are circulating that it's sold out nationwide. Sprint has reported that the EVO is breaking all its previous sales records -- although it inadvertently inflated -- and quickly corrected -- figures for first-day sales on Monday.

The EVO has a 4.3-inch screen, dual cameras -- an 8.0 megapixel primary and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera -- GPS, stereo Bluetooth, video sharing over Qik, Google mobile services, social media integration with Twitter, Flickr, and other services -- and a built- kickstand, to make watching video easier.

Though it's designed for 4G, the EVO is also doing well in non-4G markets, Sprint Nextel CFO Bob Brust told the Kansas City Business Journal. He also said the company is working hard to remedy the shortages. The Sprint 4G network, set up with partner Clearwire Corp., is in markets covering about 44 million people and may nearly triple by the end of this year.

Learning about China; chinaSMACK

Last weekend I became friends with an articulate Chinese man who kept returning our conversation to classical China. China today is a complex conversation! It's changing faster than most developing nations, with arguably the greatest impact on the world community.

A Bitter Revolution was a great read, describing cultural, political and economic events in the 20th century in broad strokes.

China had to learn how to learn technology after being closed for so long. Consider how the Family exists within the State and its course of change. The Party and its authority are controversial and Chinese people I've met are mostly fatalistic about government. Like a lot of Americans. A Bitter Revolution was a great primer and created empathy.

Today I discovered chinaSMACK "Popular Chinese internet news, stories, pictures, videos, bloggers, memes & trends translated into English along with real Chinese netizen reactions " It's fun and very pop-culture.

Having read The Marcos Dynasty by Sterling Seagrave, I just started The Soong Dynasty, another account of the United States' capricious influence, this time in China. It is investigative journalism at its most entertaining. Feeling kind of worn out by the Tea Party nonsense, Obama's struggles and our military burdens always in the news -- it's more fun to follow China.
