Korea's HUBO 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

Korean researchers are challenging Honda's Asimo and Sony's QRIOwith the introduction of HUBO, a humanoid robot with individually moving fingers. HUBO will be officially unveiled early next month, but Korea is doing its best to let Japan know they are gunning for their position as the leader of the world's useless showpiece robots. If this starts a robot arms race, I will be a happy fleshbag.

The OpenNet Initiative has found that in the process of blocking access to 31 pro-North Korea sites, the South Korean government has blocked 3,167 unrelated domains. Apparently this happened because the NK sites were on servers outside of NK that SK blocked. (The OpenNet Initiative is sponsored by the Berkman Center, U of Toronto and U of Cambridge.)

Advice to Korea's smartmobs

Advice to Korea's smartmobs 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
Howard Rheingold's written an introduction for the Korean edition of Smart Mobs, which takes the form of a letter of advice to Korea's Internet generation.

First, do not mistake the tool for the task. The democratization of publishing, communication, and organizing that is afforded by PCs, the Internet, and wireless mobile devices is indeed an important tool for grassroots activism. But it is the knowledge, intentions, and actions of people in the real world -- where ballots are cast, political decisions are made, wars and demonstrations take place -- that empowers democracy. Netizens must have more in common than their technical expertise in order for them to conduct discourse rather than flame each other, to act collectively in the physical world rather than sit in front of keyboards and type all the time. Long-term political organizing is hard work.

Second, understand that not every smart mob is a wise mob. The difference between a riot and democratic discourse is a literacy: if a sufficient percentage of the population does not understand the important issues of the day and does not know how to debate those issues and the governance policies affected by them, the democracy will be hollow and easily manipulated, even if the leaders are selected in fair elections. Deliberation is important for leaders and populations of citizens alike.

Third, civility, reason, and evidence are what distinguish the public sphere -- the free and open discourse among citizens that provides the foundation for democracy -- from the emotion-charged, ignorant, slogan-slinging online combat that sometimes drowns out political debate. The Web is a wonderful resource, and search engines are powerful tools. If you are arguing an issue, take two minutes to research it and post a link as part of your argument. You can question evidence, but questioning evidence is the basis of science and jurisprudence. The point is to argue the issues and evidence, not to attack the character of opponents.

Link Discuss (Thanks, Howard!)

N Korea's Kim criticized at home for apology to Japan

Friday, May 7, 2004 at 04:00 JST

WASHINGTON — North Korean military hardliners have been critical of leader Kim Jong Il for apologizing to Japan for the abduction of Japanese nationals, a U.S. expert who visited North Korea in April said.

This makes it difficult for the North Korean leader to make a decision to break the impasse over the abduction issue with Japan, said Selig Harrison, Asian project director at the Washington-based Center for International Policy. He said the hardliners were angry because they think North Korea should never apologize to Japan, which colonized the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945. (Kyodo News)

Thank you Kim Jong Il. Japan has done many things that I think requires apologies, but the abductions of Japanese by the North Koreas is an issue that I believe required an apology. I think this is a important first step, even if it is causing him some grief at home. I'm not sure what these means from a diplomatic tactics perspective, but I think Kim Jong Il deserves some credit on this one.
