Software for new PCs to block access to certain websites
China's government wants all PCs sold in the country from July 1 to be loaded with software that blocks certain websites, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The paper cited the software's main developer as saying the primary target was pornography, and added that the government said it was to protect young people from "harmful" content. The software, called "Green Dam-Youth Escort," would block access to banned websites by connecting to a database, the Journal reported. Jinhui Computer System Engineering Co developed the software with the help of Beijing Dazheng Human Language Technology Academy Co, it said. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology put the requirement in a notice on May 19 but it has not yet been publicised, the paper said.

Recent news about the auto industry - about GM and Chrysler, in particular - have been all doom and gloom and nothing short of cataclysmic. From dwindling sales to job losses to dealer closings, and, recently, bankruptcies of Chrysler and GM. A fresh look at facts, however, reveals a slightly different story. Call it a bright side to the current deconstruction of the U.S. auto industry. Watch Mike Caudill's report and see which automaker is: - * leading in recent sales
- * most affected by the recent economic downturn.
- * greenest car company
You'd be surprised. Plus: Less is more - why GM and Chrysler want to trim down their dealer networks. |

When Swiss snowboarder Urls Eiselin dreamt of mating a quad bike with a snowmobile with a quad bike, he wasn't expectin the monstrosity and the awesome performance of the resulting ride. Meet the Sand-X all-terrain vehicle, a ride capable of 114mph and such mind-boggling grip that it will do 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds - faster than a Ferrari Enzo - over desert sand!
The Sand-X all-terrain vehicle, also capable of driving on roads and tracks at 100mph using its sophisticated suspension to dampen bumps and vibration, is just as comfortable in mud or snow. Even more, the Sand-X's design features a very low centre of gravity, giving it stability that protects it from tipping over.

India's Tata Motors delivers on promise to market a car for under $2K
 Tata Motors said it will launch its ultra-cheap Nano car in Mumbai on Monday — a vehicle meant to herald a revolution by making it possible for the world's poor to purchase their first car.
But few predict the snub-nosed Nano will be able to turn around the company, which has been beset by flagging sales and high debt, anytime soon.

As I join the Valencia rush hour, lights are flashing and beeps beeping all over the car. I'm doing everything wrong. The driver-side wing mirror light tells me there is a car in my blind spot. A red light reflected on to the windscreen indicates the car thinks I'm too close to the vehicle ahead. The beeping has been activated because the car thinks I am poised to plunge over a Spanish precipice. FOLLOW this STORY at The Guradian.
