Google uses Baidu's technology as its Chinese version of Google News. Headlines at Google News/cn are usually from state-owned media such as Xinhuanet and CCTV Online.
BTW, I don't think Americans pay much attention to what's going on in China. So why is the news here...
I think Mr. Gates is eager to experience the taste of what Newton, Einstein, Turing, Bram Cohen have experienced.

If he's for money, there are more effective approaches to this...

Subject: A suggested feature for Hotmail to hide the user's email address
NNTP-Posting-Host: 203.167.192.162
Message-ID:
Dear All,
Web-based forms are a proven good approach to hiding a user's email
address from online robots and spammers. But so far it is only used by
a limited number of companies, educational institutes, government
agencies, etc. I think Hotmail can provide an option to allow every
Hotmail user of this feature.
We could add an "screenname" option in the user's Hotmail settings.
This screenname is different from the username as in
username@hotmail.com. This way, the user can choose to not publish his
real hotmail email address, but publish a contact point like this:
http://www.hotmail.com/sendto/
Any human who wants to send message to the user can visit this URL and
submit his message via a web form on this web page. The message is
then directed to the user's real Hotmail inbox.
Graphical authentication codes can be used to further discourage
automated mail sending programs from access such web-based submission
interface.

i'm not going to file bugreoports for every editor... anyone interested in getting this feature implemented please file it for me.
couldn't help to say: i don't want the pen mode to replace the default mode entirely, tho... there could be a switch.

A new idea for WYSIWYG rich text editors
Hello All,
When I loaded a document to OpenOffice Writer and wanted to add annotation text immediately after some words, I found it difficult to easily insert annotation text with another formatting to multiple positions of the original text.
Suppose the original text is formatted with Times New Roman, Unbold:
aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii jjj kkk.
And I want to append annotations "123", "456", "789" formatted with Arial Bold to the words "bbb", "ddd", "fff" in the original text, to make it like this:
aaa bbb [123] ccc ddd [456] eee fff [789] ggg hhh iii jjj kkk.
Here [ ] means the enclosed text is formatted with Arial Bold, a different formatting from that of the original text.
In practice I want to annotate for much more words than the above simplified example. What makes my task difficult is that all WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) rich text editors (Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, Wordpad, etc.) apply the formatting of the current selection point as you type. To change the formatting of the current selection point, you have to do extra clicks or keyboard shortcuts. And when you move the selection point to another position, the current formatting automatically changes according to the new position. This behavior may be useful in general, but I suggest rich text editors to allow a new formatting mode - that is to say, once you choose a formatting, all subsequent inputs will use this formatting, regardless where you input. I call this new mode "Pen Mode", because it is like choosing a new pen of another color/size and writing anywhere in the document without having to reset to this formatting again and again.
Best Regards,
Yao Ziyuan

Your "formal language statement" is like http://www.babelcode.org
That is what I think the already very good approach. I don't think antispam research very useful or needed (those NLP/statistical shit).
I think Mr. Gates is eager to experience the taste of what Newton, Einstein, Turing, Bram Cohen have experienced. But without any major and substantial scientific/technological contribution, any attempt to this is unreal. Amount of patents doesn't tell anything; one single achievement like BitTorrent beat all words. If he's for money, there are more effective approaches to this...
Google still hasn't got a chance to take back google.com.cn and google.cn, the only international domain names it doesn't have...

Unless something like BabelCode [http://www.babelcode.org] is finished.
aaaaa bbbbb ccccc ddddd eeeee fffff ggggg hhhhh iiiii jjjjj kkkkk

Not really, unless BabelCode [http://babelcode.crazylife.org] is implemented in English and Chinese.
Is an old news in China.
