China Systematically Developing New Technologies 261
newsblaze writes "China, having recognized there are major gaps in its science and technology arsenal, released their Technology Development Plans. The plans cover five main areas — geology, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering and aeronautical engineering. Three areas are prioritized in space technology and six major goals are announced.
All this comes after having first set out their 100 Year Vision of Greatness.
They appear to be giving themselves a breathing space, telling the world they are interested in cooperation and also giving themselves a major target, in much the same way as John F Kennedy did for the USA."

Submission + - Vista "Protected Processes" Compromised
An anonymous reader writes: Protected processes, which were introduced in Windows Vista to allow DRM software to be hidden from the prying eyes of reverse engineers, have today had their security called into question by the release of D-Pin Purr (http://www.alex-ionescu.com/?p=35) by Alex Ionescu of ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/) fame. His tool allows protection to be added and removed to or from arbitrary processes, circumventing the usual security checks. This could enable malware to hide itself from bona-fide scanning / removal software by hiding inside a secured process, and opens the door to some inventive attacks on the DRM pathways of Vista.

Submission + - RE: New Tools Help Create Cellphone-Friendly Web S
Ryan Smith writes: "I wanted to reply to Zonk's article that was posted yesterday. What no love/mention/props for the company that actually developed the mobile creation tools? Yes I mean Roundpoint, the company I work for.
I was going to make a comment to the article but I would have been torn apart by the slashdotters as an advertiser or some shady guy. So I thought I would contact the Slashdot team directly.
Been reading slashdot for years now, I also read Arstechnica and TechReport on a daily basis. I was wondering when Roundpoint's mobile efforts would be pick'd up by you guys, that WSJ aritcle yesterday did the trick I guess.
With our mobile creation tools we helped kilburnie.mobi come alive along with many other mobile pages. These tools are also integrated into our mobile social networking product called The Cerkle (cerkle.com). We introduced it at the 3gsm conference in Barcelona but you guys never picked it up. /. really concentrate on US only, should really take a peek into the European scene more...they really are ahead technology integration wise. Contact me if you want to know more...not to mention I contacted Commander Taco almost 2 years ago now. Roundpoint was interested in doing a mobile verion for Slashdot, you guys still interested in that?
Let us know, would love to hear from the /. team! Keep up the great posts, hope to hear from you soon!
