Is Google Helping China Censor the Net?
Is Google Helping China Censor the Net?
09/22/2004 01:49 PMNew Scientist: Google
omits controversial news stories in China. Some users recently
reported that Google's Chinese news search returned different results
depending when they searched using a computer based outside of China.
The claims were substantiated by researchers who connected to
computers inside the country.
Very disturbing if
true, but not all that surprising.
The tech industry, after all, has happily been supplying China with
technology that helps keep the Great Firewall up and running.
Networking giant Cisco, for example, is just one of the many suppliers
in this system.
The Net will be zoned, it seems.

Online Games Of Skill vs. Online Games
Of Chance
Online Games Of Skill vs. Online Games
Of Chance
05/24/2004 04:40 AMWhile the US has been notoriously tough on the idea of any online
gambling in the US, there are a number of companies doing quite well
in the somewhat "gray" area of
online games of skill for money. These aren't games of
chance, but still require players to put up money, and the winners go
home with more than they put in. The difference, of course, is that
the win is based (at least somewhat) on the skills of the players.
However, this can be a very fine line. Most games involve a mix of
skill and luck, and you can make the claim that classic gambling games
like poker and blackjack require some amount of skill as well. Still,
the online "games of skill" providers claim they're just like a
typical sports association, like the US Tennis Association, that sets
up tournaments and awards prizes to the winners - minus their own cut.
Of course, they conveniently skip over the part about where the money
comes from. With these online games, it is still a "pay to enter"
sort of contest. Either way, it's not entirely clear how the legal
issues will play out. Some states already bar such online games of
skill, but many don't. Federal laws are still unclear, and the
companies involved in this space are lobbying heavily to try to make
the point that they should be allowed to continue where online
gambling sites are forbidden.

06/07/2004 10:56 AMI filed this story for
Wired News about a crackdown on
electronic games by the Chinese government:
Responding to an unprecedented boom in computer game popularity,
China's government established a censorship task force this week to
monitor the content of imported games for offensive or politically
sensitive content.
Ministry of Culture officials said all online and wireless games
produced outside the country will now be subject to examination first
before they can be legally distributed within the country. Foreign
producers of online games already in distribution must submit those
products to MOC examinations by Sept. 1, or face punishment.
"The ministry allows the import of foreign online games whose content
accords with Chinese national conditions and has positive effects on
young people's mentality," according to an MOC statement. Chinese
officials had been monitoring the content of video games before, but
they seem to be stepping up efforts after a period of exponential
growth in computer and wireless gaming. Two European games were
recently banned.

Trouble with Online Games
Trouble with Online Games
07/16/2004 08:41 PM
Wired reports on Electonic Arts' decision to shut
down UXO (Ultima X: Odyssey) and goes on to elaborate on the
pain and cost of
running a massive online games. While developing the game
client and server
itself is within the realm of developers' abilities, creating the
content of a virtual
world and keeping it an interesting place to live in is a difficult
and neverending
task that most developers will find difficult to manage, even if
they have a deep
pocket like EA.
The missing ingredient in today's online games that full 3D online
world developers
forgot to translate from MUD (Multiple User Dungeon, a text-only
online world) is
community participation in building and maintaining the online
world. Instead
of hiring legions of artists and area designers, they should have
leveraged the creative
power of the players themselves by creating tools and offering
incentives. With
such legions of superusers, all they needed was a much smaller
staff to control the
legion.
Player participation in running online worlds should not stop with
content but also
operation. Let the superusers handle most of the in-game
headaches such as user
complaints and conflict moderation. Going beyond that,
superusers should also
be used to play NPC roles such as monsters, shop owners, etc.
Unfortunately, EA looked only at the numbers and chose the easy way
out instead of
using UXO as an opportunity to explore more creative options.
