BEIJING – China said Wednesday its mobile phone carriers can use Google's Android operating system so long as it complies with regulations, apparently trying to limit damage to Chinese industry from their dispute over Internet censorship.
Google Inc.'s Jan. 12 announcement that it would no longer censor search results in China prompted concern about possible commercial fallout. The company postponed the launch of its own smart phone in China but others are developing Android-based phones and could be hurt if Beijing tries to penalize Google by barring its use.
"As long as it fulfills Chinese laws and regulations and has good communication with telecom operators, I think its application should not have restrictions," said Zhu Hongren, a spokeman for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, at a regular news briefing when asked whether Beijing would permit use of Android.
The comments reflect the conflicting pressures on the communist government, which insists on controlling information but needs foreign companies like Google to help achieve its goal of making China a technology leader.
The operating system is the foundation of a mobile phone's features and changing it after products have been launched would require expensive basic redesigns, said Ted Dean, managing director of BDA China Ltd., a Beijing research firm.
"There's a pretty significant upfront investment in developing a phone on one operating system," Dean said. "So you don't want to change course on so basic a system as what opeating system it works on."
Google is in sensitive talks with the government, trying to keep an important Beijing development center, a lucrative advertising sales team and access to China's booming market for its fledgling mobile phone business.
A Google spokesman, Jessica Powell, declined Wednesday to comment on the status of talks or confirm whether top managers from the company's Mountain View, California, headquarters were in Beijing.
Zhu gave no indication of the possible fate of Google's own phone, planned with local carrier China Unicom Ltd.
China is the world's most populous mobile phone market and any restrictions on Google might hamper its effort to expand into mobile. The country has more than 700 million accounts and strong demand for advanced services.
State-owned China Mobile Ltd., the world's biggest phone company by subscribers, is developing its own smart phone, the OPhone, which uses a system that has Android as its foundation.
The involvement of such a major state company, a key player in Beijing's technology development plans, could add to pressure on authorities to contain the commercial consequences of the Google dispute.
Dell Inc., Motorola Inc. and Samsung Electronics Corp. also plan to sell Android-based phones in China.
Google allows use of Android for free, which might boost costs for manufacturers and phone carriers if they switch systems, Dean said.
Microsoft Inc., Nokia Corp. and others charge royalties for their mobile operating systems.
"It's a significant enough share of the price of a phone that it changes the economies of the smart phone business if you're paying someone else for the operating system," Dean said.

When looking into building a website, the number 1 concept in which you will need to have a grasp on to run a successful web business is search engine optimization. Many internet companies need to rely on the internet to expand and grow over one small local area to throughout the state, providence, nation, or even the world. There are many different concepts found in search engine optimization which help to increase your websites overall traffic, visits, customers, and search engine rankings.
So how does Search Engine Optimization work? What is it?
Search engine optimization is a concept which covers a wide variety of different tools in which a web developer would use to boost overall traffic and popularity to their own website. Some of the general concepts which are categorized into the Search Engine Optimization market are keyword densities, topic relevance, meta tags, script coding, domain names, back linking, search engine submissions, advertising, and much more.
Here are some things to consider when optimizing your website for the internet search engines;
Keyword Density – Keyword density is using a specific percentage of words which hold a significant relation to the overall main topic of your website. For example a key word for a website specifically about optimization would be "search engine optimization." This allows web crawlers also known as search engine spiders to crawl your website and identify the main search-able topic of the site by keyword densities used most commonly in all of your website content. But with keyword densities if the keyword is used too much you may be black listed as spam. But if you use the keyword to little you may be listed in an unrelated area of the search where your visitors will not have a common interest with your website.
Topic Relevance – The relevance of your topics to your website, which also goes for the keywords will create a higher ranking in the search engine along with site search ability. For example if a website had many topics which were about ducks, but the site was about frogs, than you are going to be listed possibly in an unrelated part of the search engine. While a website about ducks, with many different articles and content with ducks in it, will have many different search engine listed pages which the searcher can see when looking up ducks. This makes it more likely that the person looking for information will visit your site.
Meta Tags and Scripting – These two concepts are in too much relation to each other to explain separately. Meta tags are specific words submitted into the sites overall header through professional scripting which pose as the main keywords which you want to be creating densities for in your content.
There are many different script alterations which can also be used which automatically detect meta tags and put them into the script for you based on densities, but is not as advisable unless you are very sure of what you are doing.
Domain Names – Your domain name is the key, the start of everything. Unfortunately the success of your entire website could be faltered simply by selecting an non ideal domain name. First domain names should be topic relevant, meaning that the domain name should be an overall description of what is in the website, or a business name. For example a news website should have a domain name with short clear general words in relation to news, and not a domain name which describes something like dating. Otherwise your visitors could be people looking for a dating website, and then leaving. Domain names should also be kept either dot com or dot net. These two domains rank in the top numbers for the Google search engine.
Why do I need Google?
Google is one of the most complicated search engines to stay on top of, and yet one of the most popular search engines on the internet. This makes Google one of the most important concepts in search engine optimization being more than 50% of the entire worlds population uses Google when searching the internet.
Should I do Search Engine Optimization on my own or through a paid service?
Although search engine optimization is complicated if you are a very experienced web developer it would save you a few bucks. The only problem is doing optimization yourself is time consuming, back-linking to thousands of websites legitimately, editing your scripts and fixing errors, this could all cost you a lot of time as to where your website could have already been receiving traffic and making income.
A paid service which offers search engine optimizations are often companies with many different people who work all at one time to get many angles of your website mastered all at once. A professional company can do for you in just a few days to a week what could take you several months. If your website is sponsored by advertising or your own products using a professional service to optimize your website would pay off its own costs in profits from the time you would not have had your website up and running without the service. So really the decision is up to you and your own specific preference.

"With consideration of stage effects for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, editors plan to adapt some conservative methods and allow some super stars to make a lip-synching". The news as mentioned above caused the great uproar at the first minute of updated online.
Some netizens considered it as a "disrespect for the audience", while some felt disappointing for the "depressing retrogress of the Gala caused by forgeries". "Spring Festival Gala is not a carnival for celebrities but a festival show for common people, as an audience but not a groupie or a star-maker, what we want is to get a happy together and to enjoy a series of attractive performances. We don't need any showing-off guys. If lip-synching is acceptable, why not change the live show to be a video program and forge everything, even the Countdown for the New Year?" criticized some netizens.
Allegedly, because of the lip-synch-proof demand from organizers of SF Gala in recent years, some actors decided to quit the Gala due to their singing-off-key during the rehearsal. In order to attract the popular actors loved by audience to join in the Gala, editors proposed to solve the intonation problem with some "conservative method" in which lip-synching is allowed. Think about it, how can a popular star, who is not a professional singer, sing beautifully while dancing hotly if without the lip-synching?
Super stars are "lip-synching" in the Spring Festival Gala? What's your opinion on it? Would you support it?

Show up in public places with pajama? A city style or a bad habit?
It seems usual for Shanghai residents to show up with pajamas in pulic places from lanes, stores, super markets to Nanjing Rd, the most famous shopping street. But now with the approaching of EXPO, local authorities began to manifest the persuasion to people from showing up in pulic places with pajamas.
Some people consider that going out with pajamas, though is a habit for Shanghai residents, does not correspond with international etiquette. Now, the EXPO is decided to be held in Shanghai, and therefore, the image of its citizens will be recognized as a part of Chinese clutures for other nations. So, showing up in public places with pajama is apparently an improper habit.
On the contrary, some people think that going out with pajamas never relates to denounces in quality or civilization. Instead of an improper habit, it is just a living custom, and the local authorities have no rights to intervene.
Dear friends, what's your opinions?

A trip to Larnaca
Many people found that their funds were insufficient to allow the usual summer holiday to take place in 2009, because of the continuing financial crisis. If you had to make this grievous sacrifice this year, then you might like to consider taking a wintertime break instead, and why not choose Larnaca as the perfect place to unwind?
There are a whole host of reasons to visit Larnaca in winter. First of all, you will find that many holidays are cut price during this off peak season, and flights to such sunny southern climbs are available very cheaply from websites belonging to holiday making companies such as Fly Monarch.
Also, one of Larnaca''s most prized sites of extraordinary natural beauty, the Larnaca Salt Lake, is simply not available to see during the tourist heavy summer months. The Lake dries up in early May, and doesn''t reappear until the end of October. Furthermore, if you visit the Lake between November and March you will find its shores inhabited by the migrated Flamingos - an unforgettable sight.
Larnaca''s diverse cultural history also provides it with a whole range of historical sites of interest. First of all, you might like to take a look at the Ottoman built mosque, known as Hala Sultan Tekke. This mosque, famous throughout the Islamic world, houses the tomb of Umm Haram, who was foster mother to the prophet Mohammed. The mosque is dedicated to her.
For an alternative theological destination, and further evidence of Larnaca''s cultural diversity, The Church of St Lazarus in the medieval area of Finikoudes is also worth a look.
For further details about Larnaca''s colourful cultural heritage you should check out the two main history museums, which provide plenty of detail about the area.
Cyprus is world famous for its jewellery, and one unmissable spot in Larnaca is the Oro Fino Jewellery store. Here you will find a range of designer and handmade jewels, suitable for all tastes and budgets. A great place to find presents and souvenirs alike.
Larnaca is also a great place just to relax. Its streets are charming and just spending a day or two wandering around will allow you to soak up the atmosphere as well as sampling some of the finest local produce available in small family-owned restaurants and from market stalls scattered throughout the area. For relaxation purposes, and to experience the best of Larnaca''s heady historical atmosphere, avoid the hustle and bustle of summer and visit Larnaca over the festive winter period.
2010, are you ready?
The year of 2009 has been the history of the last 365 days.
2009, maybe it is the year that you stepped into the sweet marriage by saying goodbye to the signle days before, or maybe the year you broke up with the one you love most and were hurt badly. 2009, perhaps it is the year that you won the promotion because of the well-done in job, or perhaps the year you lost your position as the financial crisis and had to save every penny you earned. 2009, probably it is the year you travelled in the city by the new car you just bought, or probably the year you still needed to waste your morning in the overcrowed bus. 2009, possibly it is the year that you got your dream house but at the same time became a mortgage slave, or possibly the year you enjoyed the short pleasure in the rent house with the little warmth from the chafing dish.
2009, the year filled with memories, has passed, and is followed by the year of 2010, which is waiting for us to experience.

For my friends, thanks for your help, and I always feel very happy when we are stay together. We can chat everything what we want. Cause we have common topic, the same interest, and so on.
