North Korea develops nano-tech products<\/strong><\/p>\n

The People’s Onion<\/strike> Daily<\/em> reports that North Korea is not only pouring money into Type O’ Dongs:<\/p>\n

Nano-tech water disinfector and toothbrush are now being mass-produced in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The nano-tech water disinfector does not need electricity or any outside energy, but relies on “the pollution-free pasteurization technique of the fifth generation belonging to the category of cold disinfection,” the report said…<\/p>\n

…The new toothbrush is made of nano-tech antibiotic materials with sterilizing power which “prevents and cures oral diseases including Riggs’ disease and dental caries, and it removes halitosis,” the KCNA said.<\/p>\n

“These products are mass-produced in the Pyongyang Daily Necessities Factory, Sinuiju Cosmetic Factory and other factories, ” the KCNA added. (Link<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cars must be registered in your own name<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top headline in this morning’s Beijing papers concerns new rules making it illegal to register a car under a borrowed ID. Until last year, a Beijing residence permit was required in order to put Beijing plates on a car, so many outsiders would rent IDs from car-less Beijingers, causing headaches when traffic fines were incurred. Some people were able to turn a tidy profit; China Times<\/i> reports that one individual had more than 3000 vehicles registered to his name. Three months from now, all such cars will be banned from the road unless their owners re-register with their real information (China Times<\/i>, link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Bokee to share ad revenues with bloggers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bokee.com, one of the early movers among China’s blog providers, is offering to share advertising revenues with bloggers. You can check out the program at the aptly named URL bank.bokee.com<\/a>. Bloggers can choose what ads go on their site, and get paid using the AliPay service. The blog section of Hexun<\/a> (owned by SEEC which also publishes Caijing<\/em> magazine) has previously experimented with such schemes, but it is unclear how successful they have been.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
