BoingBoing reader Roy Berman says:

I went to check out the North Korean news wire earlier today and noticed that they had heavily revised their web site since the last time I looked at it a few months ago. The layout was still kind of bad and the English a bit weird, but there were now buttons for email, shopping, etc. I discovered that the North Korean government is actually letting people sign up for free web based email accounts. Their web page actually claims that they have an advanced IT industry, but somehow after experiencing it's fruit, I am left doubtful. One of the most amazing things about it was the selection of password hint questions, which include gems such as 'How would Korea change after reunification?'

link to Roy's blog entry with more details, and link to North Korea's government website, which informs me that "Korea Is One Homogenous Nation," and that one of the three top-selling books in the northern nation is "Butterfly and Cock."

Q&A: Should U.S. Launch Direct Talks with North Korea?

Here, by the way, is the fourth footnote from How to Deal With North Korea :

Had the Agreed Framework not been signed in 1994, the North's plutonium-based program would by today have produced enough plutonium for up to 30 nuclear weapons. Critics of the accord should not ignore this fact.

North Korea Said WHAT?!?

North Korea Said WHAT?!? 04/09/2004 11:50 PM
FilteredNewsFilter: The only headline about North Korea in most of the media is that the U.S. Wants North Korea Working Group Talks to Resume Before the End of April. But, if you live in Australia or parts of Asia, you will have heard about N.K.'s rather shrill official statement claiming that the U.S. is "dri ving the military situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a nuclear war" with "moves to put the strategy of pre-emptive nuclear attack into practice." Fighting words. How come nobody in the 'real media' around here seems to have noticed it yet?
I will withdraw my snark if BOTH stories make the morning papers tomorrow, but I doubt it.

Mystery explosion in North Korea

Mystery explosion in North Korea 09/13/2004 10:31 AM
Xeni Jardin: In North Korea earlier this week: an explosion, a giant crater, and a "peculiar cloud." Both the South Korean government and the US government say they don't believe North Korea conducted a nuclear test.

The event took place on the day of North Korea's most important national holiday. September 9, 1948, is the day on which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was founded.

President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to senior officials with access to the intelligence.

While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons stockpiles.

Some analysts in agencies that were the most cautious about the Iraq findings have cautioned that they do not believe the activity detected in North Korea in the past three weeks is necessarily the harbinger of a test. A senior scientist who assesses nuclear intelligence says the new evidence "is not conclusive," but is potentially worrisome.

Update: News reports are now saying the blast may have been related to a dam-building project, or some similar public work.

Bush policy on North Korea: do nothing

Bush policy on North Korea: do nothing 03/11/2003 01:59 PM
According to the headline of the story I saw in McPaper this morning on the way to work, "U.S. will wait out N. Korea situation No military response to next nuclear step" The Bush policy towards North Korea, one administration official is quoted as saying, is that they have decided they "won't do anything." See the latest posting from Josh Marshall as to why that is a terrible idea. But as importantly, I want to understand: why is our policy towards North Korea so different from our policy towards Iraq? Is it just that Hussein tried to kill Daddy, while North Korea only kidnapped hundreds of Japanese citizens and lets millions of its own die? What is the difference here? As someone living within range of a North Korean nuclear tipped missile, I am seriously wondering....

North Korea May Not Have Mobile Phones,
But They Have A Portal 07/15/2004 05:11 PM
North Korea was recently in the technology news for their decisi on to ban mobile phones from the country. However, it looks like they're trying to figure out this whole internet thing, and are stuck somewhere back in the nineties as they're trying to launch their very own internet portal. It has news, shopping and even free email, though the email part doesn't actually work (remember: must not let people communicate). There doesn't seem to be much internet infrastructure in North Korea, of course, so the site needs to be run out of Germany instead.
