IKSAN, SOUTH KOREA--When my wife and I arrived here last fall to teach
English, we stepped into perhaps the most Internet-crazed country in
the world. What tipped us off? Well, one example is that South Korea
(news - web sites) has a high school where students train in the game
Starcraft like Texas high schoolers practice football.

Can This Black Box See Into the Future?
http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=126649#121
DEEP in the basement of a dusty university library in Edinburgh lies a
small black box, roughly the size of two cigarette packets side by
side, that churns out random numbers in an endless stream.


Google has implemented a new feature where you can type someone's
telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be
given a map to their house.  Everyone should be aware of this.  Note
that you can have your phone number removed or blocked.
Look up your own number:
1)  Go to: http://www.google.com/
2)  Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit
enter.
3)  If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information,
go to the "results" and choose the "phone book removal form."
Google lists several other search engines that provide reverse phone
number searches. You have to block each one separately.
Removal takes 48-hours.

Hope you enjoyed the headlines.
