Recently there have been reports that Google wants to get back into China and one of the ways they are planning to do so is to launch a censored search engine.

For many years, many tech companies and web services were not allowed in China or have voluntarily withdrawn themselves from the country, such is the case with Google who has been absent in the country for the past decade. However recently there have been talks that Google is planning on making a return, and apparently this has been in the works for years.

If the rumors are true, Google is apparently planning to make a return to China where they will launch a censored version of its search engine to appease the local government. However given Google’s absence in the country for as long as it has been, obviously the competition has managed to fill that gap.

Recently thanks to hints spotted in the latest iOS 12 beta, it was suggested that Apple could be working on bringing dual SIM functionality to their iPhones. However it was not mentioned as to whether or not this could be a feature available to all iPhone models, or if it could be limited to certain models, and for certain markets.

Dirty cars don’t look good which is why so many of us labor to wash our cars once or twice in the week. We opt to get our cars washed as well when they require more thorough cleaning from the professionals. Obviously, you’ll have to pay them for that but this Chinese man decided to save the $3 he would have spent on getting the car washed by trying to […]

Virtual reality has all kinds of uses, such as for gaming, entertainment, and can also be used to treat phobias.

Laser weapons have long been a fixture in science fiction but recent developments suggest that the technology is actively being developed for military use. According to a new report, China has developed a “laser AK-47” which is capable of setting human skin on fire from a kilometer (0.6 miles) away.

Companies based in the United States that have “industrially significant technology” may soon be essentially off limits to Chinese buyouts as the U.S. Treasury Department is drafting curbs which would prevent companies that have at least 25 percent Chinese ownership from buying such firms. The comments from this unnamed government official were echoed by a report in the Wall Street Journal as well.

China maintains a tight control over the internet in its borders and only the services that are allowed by the government can operate in the mainland.
