Now make this interoperable with, e.g., Chinese Pod and we would have a great language learning system. - Carsten Ullrich

I'm skeptical: "[In 2010] California will form the nucleus of what he [Igor Panarin] calls "The Californian Republic," and will be part of China or under Chinese influence." - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

Great article on the background of the financial crisis. These guys made billions of dollars, but did they create anything of value? Did they create anything tangible? And I really would love to understand: if they made billions, whom did they take it from? Did someone loose they same amount? Or was it some kind of virtual money? - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

Ein bisschen pauschal, aber trotzdem lesenswert. - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

I want to master Gimp in just one week! Any links? - Carsten Ullrich via twhirl

I'm curious to see how long Baidu will stay number one in China. Mixing advertisement and organic results, deleting negative links about a company against payment, all these practices don't inspire confidence. - Carsten Ullrich

Interesting example: a kid that accesses the Web not via Google, but via YouTube. Will the Web move to video instead of text? What about hyperlinking in videos? - Carsten Ullrich

Ha, finally! Exactly what I need for business trips outside China. Thank you for this! - Carsten Ullrich

good guide, but I wonder why they split the content over so many pages. Requires lots of clicking. And why didn't they add the links properly but in this basket? Weird. But still interesting, especially the link to PicFindr. - Carsten Ullrich

Great thoughts about Amazon turning more and more digital into physical goods. That is a real solution to piracy problems, not the standard backward pseudo solution. - Carsten Ullrich

Somehow I have the feeling that in this kind of data access, here filling a spreadsheet by adding a Web query, not the fact itself, lies some enormous potential. Or is it just a fancy feature... - Carsten Ullrich

I've been really impressed with Yahoo! in the last months. I hope their strategy to conquer the developers by making most of their functionality freely available works out and makes Google take similar steps. - Carsten Ullrich

Why are former EU Commission officials allowed to work in companies with an obvious conflict of interest, without any waiting time? My father worked for the military, and after he retired he was not allowed to work for military companies for several years. Why doesn't this rule apply for these guys? - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

Dear Okkam team a) having to register in order to add comments is so Web 1.0 b) couldn't find a way to register c) great work. To what extent does it differ from DBPedia? What is the URL of the SPARQL endpoint? - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

An excellent animation about the US war corporatism. The artwork is amazing! - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

Western media manipulation is so much more sophisticated then the Chinese one. - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

well, one click is enough sometimes: Mark all as read. But the fear of missing something makes this liberating click impossible, unless I'm really in a bad mood. - Carsten Ullrich via twhirl

For those who don't know it yet. The best "Star Trek" movie in decades. Made by Finnish enthusiasts. Funny and amazing special effects. One of the best examples of the disappearing borders between amateurs and professional. - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

I would love to have something like that for Chinese. Or even better, a Chinese OpenCalais. - Carsten Ullrich

Freedom of speech is fine as long as you share our views... Right they are: "Her suspension exemplifies the hypocritical nature of some Western media that chant human rights and freedom of speech every day" - Carsten Ullrich via Bookmarklet

A friend of mine made this comment:"Makes sense to me. #1 If you're an organization interested in specific values, it makes no sense to employ people who are on the opposite spectrum of those opinions. #2 Freedom of speech merely guarantees that the government cannot suppress your speech. It says nothing about guaranteeing a job against the wishes of an employer. #3 She obviously has not been muzzled, as her story is being distributed, and DW is not trying to suppress those stories. - Carsten Ullrich

I'm not expert, but it depends on the context. She might have done a "formal" error. As a radio moderator, you should keep your political opinion to yourself. Her statement might have been interpreted as a political opinion. If her radio transmission (Radiosendung) was on China, then she was right as this statements seems impartial to me. But if the transmission was about something else, her statement might be interpreted in a different way. In any case, I think that DW overreacted. - Martin Homik
