Microsoftâs Piracy Lawsuit Against Chinese Internet Cafà Postponed 

,----[ Quote ]
| The hearing for a lawsuit filed by Microsoft 
| China against an Internet cafà company for 
| software piracy has been postponed after 
| Microsoftâs attorney requested an additional 1 
| million yuan in damages.
| 
| If successful, the lawsuit could have far-
| reaching consequences for many more Internet 
| cafÃs in China, where owners are making and 
| using illegal copies of Microsoft software.

Chinese scientists worry about Google pullout

,----[ Quote ]
| Google's threat to pull out of China may
| have been met with a shrug in some circles,
| but there's a population of Chineses
| citizens who appear to be genuinely worried
| about the prospect: scientists. Nature
| conducted an informal survey of Chinese
| researchers, and got nearly 800 responses.
| Well over 90 percent of those who responded
| say they use Google for searches, and 48
| percent felt that the loss of Google would
| create a significant problem for their
| research.
