Chatting and Facebook-ing
Parents are very much worried about their children spending their time on chatting, Facebook-ing etc. But a new study has revealed that children are picking up basic social and technical skills while working online.
Researchers have found that social network sites, online games, video-sharing sites and gadgets such as mobile phones help kids remain in constant touch with their social circle.
They found that most young people almost always associate with people they already know in their offline lives through school or sports, but cell phones, instant messaging and social network sites such as MySpace and Facebook allow them to be in nearly constant touch.
Thus parents don’t want to worry anymore about these matters. They can stay cool in their home and watch their kids chatting in online…

Chinese hackers - 7yrs Jail
Hackers who steal data or manipulate large number of computers may be jailed for up to seven years, according to a proposed amendment to the Chinese Criminal Law. The penalties will also be applicable to those who offer software or tools for hacking to any intruder. The existing law offers punishment only for intruding into networks of governments, national defense or leading science sectors; or altering the functions of personal computer systems. However, the amended law will be the first legal tool to curb increasing data theft from civil-use computers in China.
$1,000 cash bonus replaced with G1 phone
Google's employees will not be getting the usual cash bonus of 1,000 dollars this Christmas, for the Internet search engine giant has decided to give them a version of its new mobile phone G1 instead. The customized G1 devices will be given to all permanent Google employees in the United States, Western and Central Europe, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Japan, covering about 85 per cent of its 20,123 global staff. However, since the G1 cannot be shipped to other parts of the world due to legal reasons, the company's staff elsewhere would be receiving 400 dollars instead. The company had launched this phone in October this year to compete with Apple's iPhone. It runs on Android, Google's own mobile operating system. "The holiday bonus is a Google tradition - it's a great way to thank everyone for their hard work. In the past, we've done this in cash. This year, we've decided to give Googlers a different kind of present - a Dream phone," Time Online quoted the company as telling its staff via an e-mail.
G1 received a lukewarm response when it was first unveiled, with some calling it "an unattractive and uninspiring piece of plastic".The company's e-mail calls on its staff to test the phone in-house. "Some of you will of course be wondering why we decided to change from a cash bonus to the Dream phone," the e-mail reads.
"Googlers globally have been asking for the Dream phone and we're looking forward to seeing all the things that you do with them. This is a chance for us to once again dogfood (a term used for testing) a product and make it even better!" it continues.
The e-mail goes on to finish on an upbeat note: "Thank you for all that you do to make Google the company that it is. We hope that you will enjoy using your Dream phone in 2009 and have a very happy holiday!"
First day-night Test match
Australia is almost certain to make history in November 2009 by hosting cricket's first day-night Test match. Australia and Pakistan will become the first teams to clash in a Test match under lights, the Daily Telegraph reported. Cricket Australia chose the Adelaide Oval match next November and will seek ICC approval. The CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) is also being asked to help design a special ball for cricket's most radical move in 30 years.
Cricket Australia has proposed the Test to start from 2 p.m., following the usual timeslot of regular one-day internationals played under lights. Broadcaster Channel Nine has also thrown its support behind the new concept. The match will be staged in one of the last weeks of the 2009 TV ratings year. CA chief executive James Sutherland said that the move was inevitable, adding: "Test cricket is our premium form of the game so why (not) play it at a time when most people can watch it?
"There's no doubt it will happen - people can go after work and it's a cooler time of the day for spectators and fans. Look at the Olympics, the NRL and the AFL and how much of it is played at night these days because it's a more convenient time for viewers and fans," he said. A suitable ball is a sticking point, but CA is committed to solving the issue by November. "The white ball for one-day cricket that lasts 50 overs is not suitable," Sutherland said.
And like the one-day game and Twenty20 cricket, a night Test is sure to spark debate among traditionalists.
