China has banned websites featuring or publicizing online games which glamorize mafia gangs, saying violators will be “severely punished,” state media reported on Tuesday. The Culture Ministry said such games “advocate obscenity, gambling, or violence,” and “undermine morality and Chinese traditional culture,” the official Xinhua news agency said.

Hackers have defaced the website of Australia’s biggest film festival which refused to withdraw a documentary about exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, organizers said on Monday. The Chinese government two weeks ago protested to the Melbourne International Film Festival over the inclusion of the documentary and last week three Chinese films were withdrawn in protest at Kadeer’s planned attendance at the August 8 premiere. Beijing has blamed Kadeer for instigating this month’s ethnic riots in Urumqi in Xinjiang in which almost 200 people died.

Looks like Samsung is going to beat LG to the punch with the release of its S9110 watch phone due to hit stores before the rival LG GD910 – in France anyway. Aimed at Dick Tracy fans and gadget lovers alike the S9110 even manages to squeeze a few more features into its diminutive body, including a larger 1.76-inch touchscreen (to the GD910’s 1.43-inch), Bluetooth 2.1 and Outlook email sync. Like the LG GD910, the Samsung offering also packs an MP3 player, speakerphone, and voice recognition.

You just dump a few bottles of oil into a big, heavy pot and throw it on a high flame, watching the temperature slowly climb. The trouble with this is that you need lots of oil, and it’s messy filtering it back into the bottles (when cold, of course)

One of the things that’s set netbooks apart from fuller featured computers from day one is that most netbooks don’t have optical disc drives. They take up a lot of space, cost money, and add more breakable moving parts. With more and more software available in downloadable form and the preponderance of cheap USB flash drives and SD cards for transferring data, the only time I need to plug an external disc drive into my netbooks is when I want to try installing an operating system that can’t be b
