Despite a report in the China Daily that Google China was still filtering content on its search engine and the firm's own insistence that its policies had not changed, people in Beijing found that it wasn't necessarily the case.

Google said on Monday it remained in talks with the Chinese government about censorship of its Chinese-language search portal, despite mounting signs the company could soon shut the site. Google Inc, the world's biggest search engine, has been in a two-month standoff with Beijing over restrictions on the Internet and Google's claims that it and other companies were hit by hacking from within China. The company's chief executive, Eric Schmidt, said last week he hoped to announce soon an outcome from talks with Chinese officials on offering an uncensored search engine in that country of 384 million Internet users.

 OK - so one of the things I hate is plugging any of my devices into the wall to charge them. Or into anything. And maybe I just use these devices a lot - - but none of them hold a charge very well. Certainly they don't hold a charge as well as my old phone (which was just a phone). But this charger looks promising. You don't have to attach anything special to the device so that it will receive the charge - you do have to plug it in - - but it's more like plugging in a cordless home phone. You don't have to find the connector (I think I have no less 15 ipod/iphone connectors lost in my house) One charger to rule them all. Supposedly you can connect up to 4 devices at once, but the company would benefit by putting a powered USB charger on the side... just for a couple more. C'mon - - with 4 people in the family.... you're gonna have a ton of devices to charge every other night / / or every night! http://www.idaptweb.com/ Posted at 12:00AM Jan 14, 2010 by ko maruyama in Enhance | Comments[0] Tiny Solar Flashlight - perfect little lamp

 Vusix isn't your average set of eyewear. These things are made by producers of defense grade eyewear. This year at CES, they showed off not only a wrap VGA adapter but a whole series of UPGRADEABLE VIDEO EYEWEAR.
I'm wondering where the Christopher Walken ribbon tape machine comes into play next - - because it's getting close to that. What's nice about this upgradable tech is that you'll be able to invest in even consumer level eyewear, then - perhaps as technology kicks in, you'll have more options later. Check it out: http://www.vuzix.com/home/index.html The new styles help you look less like a bad 80s tech movie.

Scientists at Stanford University in California reported on Monday they have successfully turned paper coated with ink made of silver and carbon nanomaterials into a "paper battery" that holds promise for new types of lightweight, high-performance energy storage. The same feature that helps ink adhere to paper allows it to hold onto the single-walled carbon nanotubes and silver nanowire films. Earlier research found that silicon nanowires could be used to make batteries 10 times as powerful as lithium-ion batteries now used to power devices such as laplop computers.

Apple Inc has acquired digital music service Lala, as the dominant online music retailer explores new models for selling songs. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed by Apple, which confirmed the purchase on Friday. ITunes is the leading music service in the United States with more than 70 percent of all digital music sales and it is the leading music retailer overall. But newer music streaming services from the likes of News Corp's MySpace Music and Spotify have begun to win over music fans in the last year. "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not comment on our purpose or plans," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said.

The virus has been detected in the Netherlands and can only attack iPhones whose users have disabled some pre-installed security features, according to analysts monitoring the progress of the virus. The hackers are trying to use the virus to obtain passwords to banking sites, according to Graham Cluley, a researcher with anti-virus software maker Sophos. When an iPhone user tries to access a bank website, the Duh Worm directs the browser to a look-a-like site controlled by the hackers, Cluley said.
