  2. Re:link to video? by Rick+in+China · · Score: 1 · on Ball Lightning Caught On Video and Spectrograph

    Here's a link to the video on a popular Chinese video sharing website: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_X... Looks pretty lame to me though. I expected a big nefarious blob, not what looks more like a fart lit on fire.

  3. Re:Some photos obviously enhanced by poity · · Score: 4, Informative · on China's Yangtze River Turns Red

    On the captions you see it's by China Photo Press/Barcroft Media, which means DailyMail bought them from 3rd party photo journalists, who obviously were looking for a quick sell and weren't concerned with some color enhancement. Here's a phone camera video taken yesterday http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDQ3ODM2NDUy.html It's not as red as the photos, but still very red. The locals who are talking to the guy filming say it's the first time they've seen anything like this, so it's not a total fake either.

    Not anywhere else? Guess someone has forgotten that the internet is global :) If you can bear 10s of Chinese ads you can see the full 11 minute speech over here: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTA0ODQ1NTEy.html

  5. Mods, +1 parent by jojoba_oil · · Score: 5, Informative · on China's Official Newspaper Pans iPad — Too Locked Down

    After sifting through the anal discharge that people call comments to this story, here's one that is actually worthwhile. I really wish people wouldn't post these stories, because the typical /.er--while knowing a good bit about technology--is ignorant in topics of Asian politics/culture and just spews trash they think is somehow relevant and/or funny. Because of this, I'm grateful for the refreshing comment that shows a deeper understanding. If only I had a few more mod points...

    In addition to what Tweenk said, when something the Chinese gov't dislikes becomes popular, China generates their own homegrown option very rapidly. Since they block social networking sites and blogs, they offer things like RenRen Wang ("People-People-Net"; formerly known as XiaoNei, or "Within Campus"), YouKu ("Exceptionally Cool", video posting site), QQ zones (Tencent QQ being the most popular instant messaging platform in China, and zones host blogs and pictures), and Sina Blogs.

    To reiterate: these are all built inside the country specifically so that China can control them. Access to the popular global networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are blocked. (Which, by the way, Western media seems blind to that and continually cites Chinese twitterers as the voice of the common Chinese person. This clearly isn't true, as the common Chinese citizen either doesn't know or doesn't care about the Great Firewall. The ones we see on twitter are the ones who are willing to risk everything to bypass the Firewall and are somewhat radical)

  6. China doesn't need P2P for copyright infrigements by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Anticipated Closure of BitTorrent Sites Spurs Panic Downloads In China

    That just makes me laught. As if people cared in China. The fact that they close p2p sites is just because it's using too much bandwidth on an already saturated network. But have a look at these 2 sites:
    http://www.pps.tv/
    http://www.youku.com/
    and realize that nobody needs p2p to watch films. It's better to watch them with live, free streaming! pps.tv works extremely well and has very nice films, with often very good Simplified Chinese subs (according to my Chinese friends).

  7. Re:Great firewall of... wtf? by sakdoctor · · Score: 4, Informative · on China Blocks YouTube, Again

    Youtube isn't globally popular:
    http://www.youku.com/

    Facebook isn't globally popular:
    http://www.zhanzuo.com/

    MSN messenger isn't globally popular:
    http://www.qq.com/

    And in fact there is a cloned super-sanitized version of every web service that exists, so the majority of people just don't notice or even care.

    Well, I can get this on China's youtube clone: http://v.youku.com/v_playlist/cd00f1006247o9p0.html But the front page is covered with earthquake stuff. At the moment, every CCTV channel (Except for CCTV 11 + the English CCTV channel) is broadcasting the same news program. Youtube was harmonized (blocked) starting two days ago.
