So soothingly fine are some ancient Chinese poems written during the Song Dynasty.

I'm fond of them.

Shall we expect more and more world-weary people in China?

Is it true that in ancient China, martial artists tended to be have-a-go heroes?

Come on. Who didn't use to be the cream among their peers?

Life isn't easy for non-state-owned Chinese firms.

Inside China, the omnipresent and overbearing governments are apt to mistreat them.

Outside China, foreign governments will potentially clamp down on them more and more.

Canny innovations happen everywhere and everyday.

The thing is, mainly industry insiders know and are capable to discern them.

There're many interesting points about the seizure and trial of Adolf Eichmann by Israel during early 1960s.

First let's be clear that we just don't concern ourselves with the disputes between Argentina and Israel. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann#International_dispute_over_capture.) And we just talk about things between Mr. Adolf Eichmann, an individual, and Israel, a state.

Personally I don't know anything about the study of law. But the particular case intrigues me, in terms of law.

Point 1: Israel captured Eichmann by kidnapping him in Argentina. That act of arresting an individual by way of illegal means seems to be ADMISSIBLE in Israeli justice system, even in international legal system.

Point 2: During the trial, Israel allegedly followed an alleged meticulous due process. For that matter, it seems to me that in many Western judicial systems, due processes dictate that evidences obtained through illegal methods are NOT ADMISSIBLE.

A rather intriguing law case.

J thinks it's better to roll his own than to work for others' businesses.

Good looks the picture of "Night view of the Supreme Court of Canada from the Ottawa River".

In my mind, Samsung's products smoke those made by other vendors, for the time being.

Grand office buildings are no longer palms, I suppose.

The Razor-Qt desktop environment is interesting.

In China, the portentous housing bubble will bring forth big trouble in the future.

Steamed pears can soothe coughing.

The choices of GNU/Linux distros are overwhelmingly many.

Life is short.

And J wants to have a go at building a great life.

Whoa. I didn't know Lululemon is headquartered in Canada. In Vancouver, to be precise.

Wow, the nascent so-called bank account tax for Cypriot bank accounts appears to just violate people's rights to private property.

Where's the line between public property and private property?

During the time of China's Ming and Qing dynasties, how differently did the Western royalties' courts look from their Chinese counterparts?

And, much more importantly, how differently did the former work from the latter?
