China uses the web like it's 1999
THE GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC of China has finally got some web portal software that will enable users to access Internet services just like Western countries had in the late 1990s.
The software has been developed by China's leading PC maker Lenovo and it is the first Internet software product that the company has attempted.
According to China Tech News, Idealife integrates the extensive services and contents on the Internet and can be accessed with a convenient desktop client.
Lenovo's Idealife currently has six channels, including information, games, movies and TV, music, reading, and services. The company said it plans to add other services like a PC health scan and social networking site in the future.
Still if that wows the workers of China it could become just the place for AOL, which has been having increasing difficulty selling its walled garden Internet services these days. µ

It still amazes me that the CCP manages to exercise so much control in this day and age. They are surely delusional though if they believe they can continue in this manner for the decades to come. They might be a powerful government, but holding back the internet is like holding back an ocean dam of information. It will crack. It will leak. And eventually it will burst in their face.
Yet another glorious way to filter the internet content for China. When you try to slim down something or to simplify it, it's easy to understand that you want to control it the way you want. Did they distribute this on CDs Like AOL ? I always find it funny.
AOL??? more like GPRCOL
