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.
