China Bid for high-speed rail record

"BEIJING - China aims to break the high-speed rail world record in a trial run next year, industry sources said on Tuesday.

An experimental train - under development by CSR Corp Limited for test but not operational purposes - will 'try to break the 574.8-km/h record' set by France's TGV (Train Grande Vitesse, or high-speed train) in April 2007, CSR sources said at the 7th World Congress on High Speed Rail in Beijing on Tuesday.

On Dec 3, a high-speed passenger train manufactured by CSR set an operating speed record of 486.1 km/h on a test run on the Beijing-Shanghai line.

The sources did not elaborate on the exact date the test will be carried out.

As China's high-speed trains are running faster, its ambition to tap the world's high-speed railway market is also speeding up.

A railway linking Vientiane, capital of Laos, with the Laos-China border, which China will help to build, may see construction start in 2012, Somsavat Lengsavad, standing deputy prime minister of Laos, said on Tuesday."

The new Google TV

Google has recently been taking over the whole world.

Holy cow. Is there any corner of our lives where Google doesn’t want a toehold?

Not anymore. It’s here, just in time for the holidays: Google TV!

Now, let’s be clear: you can’t swing by your local Couch-Potato Depot and ask for “a Google TV.” (Well, you can, but they’ll look at you funny.) Instead, Google TV is an operating system, based on the same Android software that’s inside many app phones. Google hopes that other companies will build it into their TV sets, Blu-ray disc players and set-top boxes. The point of all this is to bring Web videos to your TV set.
