CNBC Asia: over the net in Taiwan
http://weblive.hichannel.hinet.net/web/index.jsp is the link… You’ll need an account with Hinet in some form and some help if you can’t read Chinese!

Gmail – A useful tool
I’ve been using Gmail for quite a while (would you like an invite,… drop me a line?). It’s really quite a good system, though I’ve had difficulty getting used to several features. There’s quite a difference between Yahoo! mail and Gmail… No folders… Gmail uses labels Archive function … helps to clean out your inbox…
