I used to have similar things at my house growing up. The sun would reflect on our windows onto the neighbors house...light reflections, lame.
China Shakes the World -- book captures the grand sweep of changes in the most populous nation on Earth

If you're looking for a mammoth of a biography on Mao and the CCP in general for that matter, I highly recommend "Mao: The Unknown Story" by Jung Chang. Having lived in China, it is interesting to see how Mao and the CCP's early days have shaped China to what it is today.

Why it's good to leave your WiFi open

As someone who syphons a very fast wireless connection off my unbeknownst neighbor (gratis), I feel that if the person doesn't care or is ignorant to the fact that they can lock their connection, then it becomes free for all once those waves leave their apartment.
Even if they locked it, I would not be averse to knocking on their door and offering to pay part of the bill (saving me a comcast or verizon subscription/contract and both of us getting a discount, in a sense) thus guaranteeing myself exclusive access to their network. Call me a cheap bastard, but I would do the same for anyone else, and until they do block it, I'll use it. I am surprised more people don't advertise within they apartment complexes to share connections to split the costs of ISP bills.

Andrew Keen is turning in his grave...
...what's that?...He's still alive?
...Oh...well...I'm sure he's pissed.
Great Firewall of China crumbling from within

It always baffled me living in China, that I could access the NYT, CNN, Reuters, IHT, Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera, AP, and while Wikipedia was touch and go, it was always the hardest to try to get the BBC unless on a double proxy (but yet BBC World and NHT were playing on satellite TV at the restaurant across the street from my apartment), nor could I access my photo stream on Zooomr without some wrangling.
The whole system really is a joke and no one takes it seriously.
No friends yet.
