Segway Owner Running off the Cliff

This is the saddest news about Segway.
The news went on and said this guy, Jimi Heselden, actually grew up in Leeds in UK. And Segway is ironically illegal in Britain except in private property. He donated 10 million pound to charity a week ago before he died.
It's interesting that he has to make Segway big in the US instead of UK. I remember seeing police riding a Segway up the steep Berkeley slope back in College.

This news from Sep 15, 2010 saying the BT Tower is opening that weekend, which is the first time since 1981. News from Metro or Evening Standard in London.

TV with subtitle in France

Second day in France, getting French TV with subtitle works already. And while I am typing this, WIFI and internet works too. We are probably one of the first ones to get internet, because everyone else seems to need to wait at least 2 weeks.

Google.cn with New Way to Re-direct to Google.com.hk

I read a news at Japanese Engadget, about google.cn is not auto redirected to google.com.hk anymore. And people want to keep google research in China and all. Testing for myself, I headed to google.cn, and this is what I found (screenshot attached). Right-clicking or left-clicking the image will bring you to google.com.hk.
This will definitely be going down as an event in Internet history.

The 99 pence China Cup

There's a story to this.
"Do you sell kitchen bin?" Bill asked.
"No." Later she added, "we are a kitchen shop."
"But there's no kitchen bin."
"We sell china."
"China?" thinking about People's Republic of China.
"China." She points to all the china wares.
"I am from China, and I was like..." *bewildered face*
"Because chinas were once from China long time ago... and they are now
once again made in China."
*laughed* and *bought a china cup*

On PC, I personally recommend the PinYin IME from Google.
