China rattles America's cage with satellite shot

China is reported to have shot down one of its own satellites, sparking international criticism and concern over the strength and sophistication of the nation's military.

The test comes mere months after the US revamped its space policy, taking a more militaristic tone than in the past. The policy scrupulously avoided any commitment not to develop space-based weapons.

It doesn't take much imagination to see China's missile launch, which it has yet to confirm, as a reply to the US's new policy.

Check Time in World's Major Cities

Checking for the current time in major cities around the world can be a real pain for me since I'm terrible at remembering the various time zones and calculating the time difference with GMT.

Thanks to Google, it's now easier for me. For example, if I want to check for the current local time in Tokyo, I'd just google for "time in Tokyo" and, voila, google will display it at the top of the search result page. Like so: time in Tokyo

No more messing around with time zones and calculations for me

French Language Course @ Alliance Française

Signed up for French Language beginner course with Alliance Française today. The first class will start next Saturday, 13 January 2007, from 9 a.m to 12 p.m. The time for classes is a bit early for me, especially on a Saturday, but I'm totally excited and looking forward to begin learning French.

Soon I'd be able to really understand Elmer Food Beat's super excellent "Le plastique, c'est fantastique" song. Uhmm, any recommendation for a really good French to English Dictionary?
