1.News of the day
Olympic pictograms - Chinese style
This is the best pictograms among other olympics cause it actually feels lively...as if those are REAL, as these are based on theme of the ancient "oracle bone" text...

I like the one with Taekwondo, that guy is really kicking ass!

Compare to the other years' pictograms and be amazed!

3.Article of the day
The man who owns the internet...well most of the names!
Is a long story, but read it and you will realize who pathetic it is, yet also how profitable it is at the same time.

This is basically virtual buying non-claimed lands.

I do remember there were cases where big company sue the person instead of paying the guy who owns nissan.com

Oh crap, he still owns it, but he may need to pay 10million USD for his last name, Nissan, that lasts for generations...

Life sucks I guess. Better not name your kid Google or any up and coming mega brand...???

4.Video of the day
The game who saved the nation
Blizzard's entertainment has unveiled its latest Starcraft 2 announcement presentation in Korea. Why Korea? Because Starcraft saved Korea's economy back in the Asian Financial Crisis!

Seriously though, a game that is so popular that it became a national sport that televised Starcraft matches account for 1% of all TV watched nationwide.
