Memo：Plans aired in 2009 for a “Naver California” and a “Naver Korean-American” never took off. Another big rival to Line, WeChat, is the most popular messaging app in China and, like KakaoTalk, is backed by Tencent, Asia’s biggest internet firm.

looks at the cost of living around the world. Singapore is now the world's most expensive city, according to the cost of living index from the Economist Intelligence Unit. Paris rose six places from last year. Strikingly, Tehran experienced a steep rise in costs over the past five years as economic sanctions began to bite. Mumbai offers the best value for money

Memo：pay attention to the 21th city，it‘s shanghai.....more expensive than NYC

Fukushima at three  
  Mar 10th 2014, 15:50      by K.N.C and G.D.  The world has mostly kept its interest in nuclear power
ON MARCH 11th 2011 the world’s fifth most powerful earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan. At a magnitude of 9.0, its ferocity shifted the planet 17cm off its axis and pushed Japan’s main island of Honshu 2.4 metres to the east. The tsunami that followed inundated the Fukushima nuclear power plant about 220km from Tokyo and wrecked the backup power generators (some were lifted off their supports; when the water receded they were pulled out to sea). It set off a nuclear meltdown in three of the plant’s reactors. Since that day, the reactors have largely stabilised, but contamination remains a problem. The Japanese authorities and TEPCO, the operator of the plant, have been criticised for failing to disclose accurate information in a timely way. Yet the disaster hasn’t stopped the global interest in nuclear power—especially in developing countries that have untested regulatory and crisis-management systems. After Fukushima, Germany shut all its nuclear reactors. Japan let all of its reactors go idle, and then slowly restarted a few. But the world has done little to establish standards for nuclear disaster-response that builds confidence for the public, or their nation’s neighbours.

     Happy birthday world wide web  Society is adopting technology at an increasingly fast pace
ON THIS date in 1989 Tim Berners-Lee, a British physicist working at CERN, Europe’s particle physics laboratory, wrote a memo to his boss modestly entitled “Information Management: A Proposal”. Mr Berners-Lee proposed to develop a way to share information over a computer network. “A ‘web’ of notes with links (like references) between them is far more useful than a fixed hierarchical system,” he wrote. The rest is history. It took only seven years from the first web pages in 1991 for the web to be used by a quarter of the American population. That compares with 46 years for electricity, 35 years for the phone and 26 years for television. “Vague, but exciting”, wrote Mr Berners-Lee's supervisor at the top of his CERN memo (a diagram from which appears under the chart). The web, just 25 years old, is still at the start of its life.
