Ryan Gavin and Dean Hachamovitch, Marketing Guy and Engineer, respectively, for Internet Explorer, have announced that the final build and release of Internet Explorer 9 will indeed be at the party they’re throwing at South by Southwest in Texas on March 14th, 2011. They’ve decided to first announce this to their very favorite community at Channel9, a bunch of developers who are in love with the internet platform, and they’ve spoken here in a video at length what the browser will be able to do.

This browser has been in production for approximately a year, and now they’re going to release it, thanking profusely the community of developers who have stepped up to help them in making this a platform that has a chance at competing with the rest of the powerhouse browsers out in the market today. As you know, Internet Explorer

Hachamovitch will be doing a keynote at MIX 10 as well, showing off how the platform is rolling out, as a sort of “look what we did in a year” sort of thing. These two fellas sitting on the couch are super excited about this rollout and after saying what they came to say, they made sure to prompt Channel9 for what they call an “uncomfortable question.” What Channel9 decided to ask about was HTML5, to which they reply “WE’RE FOR IT!”

Of course the developer community knows this already, so the question is pressed, beyond what HTML5 can do for the everyday user, what does IE9 offer the fringe users who want features that not everyone will use? Hachamovitch replies with a sort of well, we DO do that, we’ve implemented things like Navigation Timing which “got 0% usage on the web,” he then going on to say that they’ve added items that don’t just come from developers who request things, they’ve essentially come up with elements that they and people at Yahoo, Google, and etc have spoken about behind the scenes, bringing these “fringe” features into IE9 at launch.

Essentially what they’re speaking about in this video and what will be coming with Internet Explorer 9 is depth as well as quality implementation of features. We’re hoping for the best!

In February of 2007, 83.24 percent of users visiting TechCrunch did so from a Windows machine. One year later, in February 2008, the stranglehold remained firm at 80.44 percent. In February 2009, the number was at 74.04 percent. Last year, it was 61.59 percent. And this year? The number of people visiting our site from Windows machines dipped to 53.84 percent.

The writing is on the wall.

Look at those numbers again for a second. In four years, Windows share among TechCrunch readers has fallen 30 percentage points. That’s incredible.

The knee-jerk reaction in the comment section will likely be something like “it’s because you guys cover Apple so much”. But the fact of the matter is that Macintosh share, after rising for three of those four years, fell last year as well. It’s the mobile devices — specifically the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices — that are eating away at Windows.

In fact, if the trend over the past four years continues at about the same pace, in two years, devices made by Apple (Macs, iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads) will surpass devices that run Windows as the top visitors to TechCrunch. And depending on how popular the iPad 2, iPhone 5, and OS X Lion are, it could easily happen next year.

Here are the broken down numbers:

Feb 2007

• Windows: 83.24%


• Mac: 13.59%


• Linux: 2.51%

Feb 2008

• Windows: 80.44%


• Mac: 15.15%


• Linux: 2.97%


• iPhone: 0.77%


• iPod: 0.15%

Feb 2009

• Windows: 74.04%


• Mac: 20.48%


• Linux: 3.01%


• iPhone: 1.60%


• iPod: 0.28%


• Android: 0.09%

Feb 2010

• Windows: 61.59%


• Mac: 28.62%


• iPhone: 4.07%


• Linux: 3.49%


• Android: 0.87%


• iPod: 0.53%

Feb 2011

• Windows: 53.84%


• Mac: 27.64%


• iPhone: 6.72%


• iPad: 3.44%


• Linux: 3.28%


• Android: 3.06%


• iPod: 0.62%

While even the last batch of stats shows that Windows still has a nice cushion over number two, Mac, if you add the Apple products put together, it’s a different story.

• Feb 2007: 13.59% Apple products


• Feb 2008: 16.07% Apple products


• Feb 2009: 22.36% Apple products


• Feb 2010: 33.22% Apple products


• Feb 2011: 38.42% Apple products

In the four year span, Apple has added 25 percentage points to their share among TechCrunch readers. That nearly all of the 30 percentage points that Windows lost in that same span (Android’s growth pretty much fills in the rest).

So it currently stands at Microsoft’s 53.84 percent versus Apple’s 38.42 percent. Again, a big year for iPad, iPhone, and Mac could mean a changing of the guard as soon as next year. But unless something drastic changes, you can be sure that Apple will be dominant among TechCrunch readers in two years.

The latest rumors have Windows 8 showing up sometime in mid/late 2012. But the fact of the matter is that Windows 7, much more widely praised than the disaster that was Vista, hasn’t helped Microsoft buck this trend among our readers. Perhaps they’re only hope of gaining back share at this point is Windows Phone. So far, that hasn’t been going too well. Nokia should help that, but will it be enough to offset the Windows losses?

Humorously, Microsoft’s best hope for not falling to Apple may well be Android. If Google’s platform continues to make gains, it could prolong Apple passing Microsoft.

But again, Apple has iPhone 5, iPad 2, and OS X Lion on the immediate horizon — all within the next few months. And then there’s the very real possibility of another iPad in the fall.

The iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are likely to push the Apple share forward immediately. But don’t sleep on OS X Lion either. The early indications are that Apple has indeed made it much more iOS-like. That means millions of iPad/iPhone/iPod touch owners who have traditionally been PC users, are going to feel a lot more comfortable on a Mac than ever before.

And a new PC-to-Mac data migration system built in to Lion will only help that.

OS X Lion is going to feed off of iOS users, and vice versa. And the Mac ecosystem is going to continue to expand. Just as happened in the browser world with Chrome taking over, a transition is happening among TechCrunch readers in the ecosystem space. The numbers don’t lie. And Microsoft better pray that our readers aren’t leading indicators of overall trends in the space — which is exactly what you have been in the past.

The major legislative item on the agenda in the Senate this week will be The Small Business Reauthorization Act (S. 493).  Republicans plan to use this bill as a platform to promote critical pieces of legislation through the process of non-germane amendments to the bill.  Here are some vital amendments that will be debated and voted on throughout the week:

• Senator Mitch McConnell is offering an amendment (S. AMDT 183) to prohibit the EPA from promulgating any regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.  There is perhaps no force that is more destructive to our prosperity, consumer freedom of choice, and job creation than onerous cap and trade schemes.  There are many red state Democrats who are up for reelection in 2012 and will be hard pressed to go on record as supporting policies that are an imprecation to the interests of their states.  Make sure to call Senators Claire McCaskill, Joe Manchin, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, and Jon Tester in particular.

• Senator David Vitter is offering an amendment (S.AMDT. 178) forcing the federal government to sell off unused and underused property.  This is a serious issue.  The federal government owns over half of the land in some western states and has been using it to stifle energy development.  Selling unused federal lands would also serve as a prudent means of generating revenue without raising taxes.

• Senator Rand Paul is using the SBA bill as a platform to offer his signature budget bill (S.AMDT 199) which would slash $200 billion in spending for fiscal 2011.  Paul’s plan slashes funding by 50% to the Departments of Energy, Education, and HUD.  This amendment represents real limited government and budget austerity and will separate the men among the boys in the ranks of the Republican Conference.

• Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is forcing a vote (S. AMDT 197) to delay the implementation of ObamaCare until a final resolution is reached in pending lawsuits.  Unlike other bills that are designed to merely ameliorate ObamaCare, this amendment would completely halt it during the ensuing legal battles.

• Senator Tom Coburn has filed an amendment (S.AMDT.184) to force federal agencies to compile comprehensive lists of all of their programs

Make sure that all of your Republican senators are on record supporting these amendments, especially Rand Paul’s budget proposal.  Also, let’s see which faux moderate Democrats will commit to supporting anyone of these commonsense initiatives.  Needless to say, I didn’t waste time calling my senators; Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin!

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofers

When the time comes to repair or even replace your homes roof, it can be a daunting job to find somebody that is actually qualified for the job. There are lots of roofers available, however the ones who will perform a congrats for a reasonable price aren't often easy to find. If you're in the marketplace for the contractor, make use of the tips beneath with regard to interviewing and employing the correct one.

Job interview as well as Consultation

The majority of roofing companies offer free consultations. This is particularly important, since it provides them an opportunity to evaluate what your roof requirements, and it provides you with a chance to evaluate all of them. As with all of companies, believe in intuition about the individuals a person allow up on your roofing. No matter how great a contractor's reputation or even recommendation, he or she should begin by showing you having a company greeting card. If the contractor occurs looking as well as talking within an less than professional method, most likely the job he is going to do will also be unprofessional. This is not to express that you ought to anticipate contractors to reach in suits. They will be climbing on your roofing, therefore most will be dressed in denim jeans and function boots or even sneakers. If the contractor seems to be more interested in speaking upon his mobile phone while on your homes roof compared to he is in evaluating your roof's requirements, which may be another indication that he is not the one to do the job. For your lawful protection, be certain that the service provider offers sufficient liability insurance coverage.

Roof Evaluation

Anticipate the contractor will be rising in your roof. In fact, any contractor who not want to increase in your roofing to evaluate the problem should be instantly reduced. Those who are seriously interested in their work may possibly make a sketching of your roof's surface area as well as mark problem areas on it as they undergo their own evaluation, or they will consider photos or video of the surface area while they're up there. This is an extremely essential step, since it enables you to observe exactly what the problems are and understand how they'll be fixed.

Estimation

The next phase would be the created estimate. The contractor will require out their calculator and are available up with an itemized estimation. Some companies goes to their truck or even van and write down the suggestion, while others will crunch the numbers to do the job prior to you. Once you're given the suggestion, ensure that you comprehend which items will be utilized, just how long the task will take and when you will find any extra or hidden expenses that may arise throughout the restore from the roof. The contractor will be able to answer many of these questions effortlessly as well as forewarn a person of any additional expenses that could be sustained if the roof's ethics be damaged within.

Once you have received several created estimates from roofers, assess what each organization or even contractor would like to offer you for that cost. Do not necessarily low cost the highest bet, simply because occasionally the highest bid will in reality function as the service provider who does the job properly. Also, be skeptical of prices for bids which are significantly less than others. They might be using substandard products or perhaps be untruthful concerning the chance of concealed expenses. Most importantly, trust your intuition and go with the actual contractor that enables you to feel quite comfortable regarding giving more than your money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

Critics of the sentences say China has politicized the robberies as acts of terrorism.

 

AFP

A Uyghur man walks past armed Chinese security forces in Urumqi, July 17, 2009.

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered the executions of seven ethnic minority Uyghur men convicted of "violent" crimes, official media said on Wednesday.

 

The death sentences were handed down by the Supreme People's Court in recent days, according to state media in the regional capital, Urumqi.

 

The men were accused in connection with three separate attacks late last year in the Silk Road city of Kashgar, according to the news website Urumqi Online.

 

According to another website, the Xinjiang-based Tianshan news site, Aimaiti Tuheti, Yiming Dawuti, and unnamed "others" killed a security guard at a pedestrian mall as part of a failed Aug. 7 robbery attempt.

 

In a separate incident on Oct. 12, it said, Nuermaimaiti Aobulikasimu and 11 others broke into a house, bound and killed the couple living in it, and took their possessions.

 

It said the group also broke into the homes of two brothers, robbed them, and killed six people in a Nov. 11 attack in Kashgar.

 

The report gave no information about the victims or the schedule for the executions.

 

Three of the men were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, a sentence that is normally commuted to life imprisonment in China's judicial system.

 

They were convicted of deliberate homicide and armed robbery by the Kashgar Intermediate People's Court in the first instance.

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

A Han Chinese resident of Urumqi surnamed Yang said a reference to "terrorism" in official news reports on the case showed that it was being politicized by the authorities, who have launched a series of "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang following deadly ethnic violence in July 2009.

 

"There is an implied political meaning; that they were somehow engaged in separatist activities or ethnic divisions," said Yang.

 

Exile Uyghur groups said the trials had been conducted behind closed doors, with scant opportunity for public scrutiny.

 

"The entire process against these men, from the trial through to the judgment, was opaque," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

 

"There was also very little reasonable evidence to convict them on a legal basis, because all the evidence came from one side of the case," he said.

 

"We strongly condemn the Chinese government for continuing to pursue their policies of ethnic division," said Raxit.

 

"We are also strongly opposed to the death penalty in this case."

 

Earlier cases

 

Last month, the Supreme Court sentenced four Uyghurs to death for alleged involvement in an Aug. 19 bomb attack in Xinjiang’s western Aksu city.

 

The World Uyghur Congress pointed to concerns over lack of transparency in those cases too.

 

The Aksu blast left eight people dead, including two of the bombers, and 15 wounded after a man riding a three-wheeled vehicle threw explosives at a group of uniformed patrolmen. Four Uyghurs were arrested shortly after the attack.

 

State media characterized the cases as acts of terrorism and unrelated to longstanding ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in the region.

 

Exiled Uyghur dissident Rebiya Kadeer has warned that attacks like those in Aksu will continue to occur until Beijing addresses the underlying source of tension in the region.

 

Millions of Uyghurs—a distinct, Turkic minority who are predominantly Muslim—populate Central Asia and Xinjiang.

 

Uyghurs say they have long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and continued poverty and joblessness despite China's ambitious plans to develop its vast northwestern frontier.

 

Those frustrations erupted in July 2009 in deadly riots that left nearly 200 people dead, by the Chinese government's tally.

 

At least 26 people, mostly Uyghurs, were sentenced to death in the aftermath of the riots, many of whom have been executed, according to state media.

 

China is believed to execute more people each year than the rest of the world’s countries combined, although the government does not publish official figures.

 

Rights groups say Beijing may execute as many as several thousand prisoners annually.

 

Chinese authorities blame Uyghur separatists for a series of deadly attacks in recent years and accuse one group in particular of maintaining ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

 

New training scheme

 

China on Wednesday also announced a training scheme which places ethnic minority graduates from Xinjiang in work elsewhere in China.

 

Governments of the destination cities will spend 450 million yuan (U.S.$ 69 million) for the program, while Xinjiang will spend 400 million yuan (U.S.$ 61 million), the official Xinhua news agency reported.

 

The program targets some 60,000 jobless college graduates in Xinjiang, around 80 percent of whom are from ethnic minorities, and 60 percent of whom are women.

 

However, some commentators see the move as an attempt to assimilate non-Han Chinese into mainstream Chinese culture.

 

"From the point of view of ethnic minorities, the graduate work scheme is really taking the cream of youth from the minorities and using them to 'further cultural development,'" wrote one ethnic minority user on a popular microblogging service.

 

"In fact, the culture that is being advanced is Han culture, and this group of young people will have been totally brainwashed," the microblog update said.

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

"They have run senior high school schemes like this before during the past few years," he said.

 

"Whether it's high-schoolers or graduate training programs, these are measures that are aimed at thought control and brainwashing, and the 'Partification' of their education," he said.

Wikileaks and the Uyghur

through henry on Dec 20, 2010
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it had been actually uncertain, information obtained through the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, offers confirmed Chinese government fears more than it's continued charge of the region it calls Xinjiang, which is also known as Eastern Turkestan. The leaked out cables from Ough.S. diplomats show the actual degree that Chinese government bodies attempt to convince government authorities worldwide to consider its stance on issues impacting Uyghurs. The actual cables also show the U . s . States' concerns and sights concerning the on going repressive measures in the region.

Most illuminating of Chinese government pressure are the cables directed to Chinese anger, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, over the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd countries. The Dec Twenty nine, 2008 cable television applies how Chinese language Assistant Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi met using the U.Utes. Ambassador in order to The far east in order to voice Beijing's strong opposition associated with launch in order to any country other than The far east, which if the Ough.Utes. did certainly accede for this request it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". In addition, the Feb '09 cable explains the way the Chinese language Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the actual feasible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfavorable behave towards us" along with a "slap in the face". The Ough.S. federal government was firm within not really releasing the detainees in order to China demonstrates the actual degree of the politicized nature from the Chinese language judicial program. Legitimate concerns more than terrorism tend to be easy to understand, but in the actual Ough.Utes. government's view the detainees would probably encounter torture and delivery if they came back in order to China

Chinese language government pressure in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not only put on the Ough.S. federal government, but additionally in order to Brand new Zealand along with a handful of European governments that were thinking about resettlement. Albania, Indonesia and Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member states all have the symptoms of borne the brunt associated with Chinese government unhappiness. In the case of Indonesia, which was initially prepared to consider 2 Uyghurs upon solely relief grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were less better than other detainees due to the unwanted effects accepting Uyghurs would have upon relationships along with China. The Might Eight, 2009 cable relates exactly how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer reported that Germany experienced knowledgeable China from the U.Utes. ask for to simply accept some Uighur detainees kept at Guantánamo and had been consequently warned by The far east associated with ‘a heavy load upon bilateral relations' if Germany were to accept any detainees".

The actual diplomatic cables also talk about the actual unrest within Urumchi, the regional capital, in This summer 2009. The July Thirteen, '09 cable television talking about mass occurrences within The far east says:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 and in Tibet in 03 associated with 2008 vary substantially within origin as well as nature through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both present severe problems for the actual Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, but the Celebration management would not hesitate to spread out fire on Uighurs or even Tibetans when they deemed it necessary to restore order. Mass occurrences pose another kind of threat, he said, as the leadership is actually ‘afraid' to fire on Han rioters for fear of causing huge open public outrage that will change from the Party."

This can be a relaxing viewpoint, especially when 1 views evidence presented by 50 percent reviews released this season through the Uyghur Human Privileges Project (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide which fine detail eyewitness company accounts from the utilization of lethal reside fire towards Uyghur protestors within July '09. Additionally, the declaration that fireplace would not be deployed against Han Chinese protestors offers resonances for the various approach used by Chinese language security forces in Urumchi to Han Chinese language direct orders within Sept '09. During individuals direct orders, after that Celebration Assistant, Wang Lequan, addressed protesters, that had demanded that he let them know about federal government reactions in order to security issues. An identical request to satisfy with the Party Assistant by Uyghur demonstrators in This summer wasn't met.

The actual wider repercussions from the unrest also noticed a short dialogue on the effect it might possess upon Iran-China relations, as well as on relationships with Sydney following World Uyghur Congress President, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the National Push Membership within Canberra within August '09. In the latter situation, china government "privately warn[ed] a significant Australian financial institution that vendors the National Push Club to use its impact to block the Kadeer speech there".

The United States' issues concerning the scenario within the Uyghur region are available through in the cables. Inside a dialogue upon plan direction within Tibet, Ough.S. officials clarify that it'll be impossible for Chinese frontrunners to adopt the softer collection "if they appear like doing so below worldwide pressure". The cable television out dated 04 Sixteen, 08, 30 days following the outbreak associated with unrest within Tibetan regions, also relayed the actual declaration "that household balance continues to be leadership's main concern most of all, which means there'll ‘almost surely' end up being absolutely no rest of the present hard collection on Tibet or perhaps in places such as Xinjiang." The info included in the cable television additionally sheds gentle on the extreme level of sensitivity with which china federal government views territorial ethics, and also the possible spill over associated with unrest from Tibet.

The chance associated with solutions to tensions in Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of municipal culture are debated in a Feb Twenty-four, 2008 cable. Whilst recommending that China's economic achievement will increase it's resistance to democratic change, the cable also talks about how Chinese frontrunners see the usefulness of "a restricted growth of civil culture, including improvements in the rule of law and a more powerful part with regard to authorized beliefs, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other stars within places which bring about social balance and don't challenge Communist Celebration guideline." This is a significant alternation in considering, that has observed U.Utes. authorities market the notion which Chinese language financial development, and economic relationships with The far east brings about a steadily democratic culture; however, more belief appears to be put into a grassroots motion compared to one that starts in the best quantity of a Chinese language federal government. Nonetheless, the actual cable television concludes which "[i]n areas for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism results in tighter restrictions on the growth of municipal culture." This method is viewed as counter-productive by the official, that shows that the actual U.S. government "should still express...serious concerns more than Beijing's human rights record as well as appeal to China's developing awareness which higher regard with regard to individual privileges, spiritual freedom and the rule of regulation assists to advertise the development as well as sociable balance which China looks for as well as to enhance China's international image." Such a strategy would take substantial diplomatic abilities thinking about "China's weird fear the United States privately promotes routine alter as well as ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The actual wires offer insight into the every day business of diplomacy that's hardly ever owned by the general public, which is fascinating to notice the quantity of function carried out behind closed doors upon Uyghur issues. The significance of the role of the us like a monitor of Uyghur human rights conditions in private conversations is made clear, as well as contrasts with its sensible public position.

The diplomatic cables also discuss the unrest within Urumchi, the regional capital, in July 2009. A July 13, 2009 cable discussing bulk occurrences in China states:

"Ethnic riots like those in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 and in Tibet in 03 of 2008 vary substantially in source as well as nature through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized in order to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Mass occurrences pose another type of risk, he said, since the leadership is ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters with regard to anxiety about sparking massive public outrage that would turn against the Party."

This is a relaxing viewpoint, especially when 1 considers evidence presented by 50 percent reports launched this season through the Uyghur Individual Privileges Project (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide which detail eyewitness accounts of the use of lethal live fireplace against Uyghur protestors within This summer 2009.

Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the Nationwide Push Membership in Canberra in August 2009. In the latter situation, the Chinese federal government "privately warn[ed] a significant Aussie financial institution that vendors the National Push Club to make use of it's influence to block the Kadeer talk there".

The actual U . s . States' issues about the situation within the Uyghur region also come via within the cables.

The prospect associated with solutions to stress within Tibet and Xinjiang arising from civil culture tend to be discussed inside a February Twenty-four, 2008 cable television. Whilst suggesting which China's economic achievement increases its resistance to democratic change, the actual cable television also talks about how Chinese leaders see the effectiveness associated with "a restricted expansion of municipal society, such as improvements within the guideline associated with regulation along with a stronger part for authorized beliefs, NGOs, charities and other actors within areas which bring about social balance and don't challenge Communist Celebration rule." This is a notable change in thinking, that has observed U.Utes. authorities market the idea that Chinese language financial improvement, as well as economic relationships along with China will bring about a steadily democratic culture; nevertheless, more faith appears to be put into a grassroots motion compared to one that starts in the top levels of the Chinese federal government. Nevertheless, the cable television proves which "[i]n areas such as Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism leads to tight limitations on the growth of civil culture." This approach can be regarded as counter-productive through the recognized, that shows that the actual U.Utes. government "should continue to express...serious issues more than Beijing's individual privileges record as well as attract China's developing awareness that greater respect with regard to human rights, spiritual freedom and also the rule associated with regulation assists to advertise the improvement and social balance which China looks for in addition to to improve China's international picture." This type of technique might consider substantial diplomatic skills considering "China's weird concern the United States privately promotes regime alter and ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The Uyghurs from Eastern Turkistan

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-west part of China, the province of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is the least populated land while it covers near to a sixth with the country's territory. Having resisted while in generations the chinese control, Xinjiang, or Old Eastern Turkestan, fell within the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is mostly Uyghurs and Turkic - speaking System.

Muslim mainly, the Uyghur people have a solid religious identity that, in specific, allowed them to preserve a solid big difference in opposition to the Chinese enemy. In fact, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a brilliant civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

During their own background, the Uyghurs successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally changing to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., thus starting the way to the Islamization of the whole Central Asia.

Under the effect of the beliefs which they taken on, the Uyghurs used successively, and at times in a competing way, a great number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own graphic system.

The entrance of Islam was a great modification since it was supported by the absorption of the Uyghur land in the enormous Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan progressively replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used nowadays.

If their own writing, their own language and their religion mark a real big difference with the culture of Chinese Han, Uyghur People also differ from their characteristic, so aspect of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features directing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek roots of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has integrated the proper identity of these remote people, although they represent only 8 million inhabitants - a little for this particular big area. Thus, Uyghur people are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been well-known in an official way by the People's Republic of China.

This law allows these people a few rights in a land where their big difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is known as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems very illusory. The presence of all natural resources in Xinjiang, and its distance with countries identified as very sensitive, highly motivated the government to accelerate the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the greater responsibility job opportunities.

In reaction to this true will to assimilate the Uyghur people into the Chinese culture, an independent party like East Turkistan Islamic Movement(ETIM) was born in the early 1990.

Saying more flexibility, but primarily the recognition of their true identity, this movement was seriously repressed by the power authorities in area Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The situations of September 11, 2001, were the perfect occasion for the Chinese government to justify true reprisals: they declared the "Uyghur freedom fighters" as dangerous terrorists linked to Al Quaida because of their Muslim origins and their proximity with Pakistan and Afghanistan... However, the terrible repression which followed did not calm down the anger. The Uyghurs population continues today to proudly hold their identity and their traditions , even though they become a minority on their own land.

Making Money Internet

With the rapid pace of events on the web and the information revolution sparked by the Internet, it’s very easy for the technology industry to think it’s unique: constantly breaking new ground and doing things that nobody has ever done before.

But there are other sorts of business that have already undergone some of the same radical shifts, and have just as great a stake in the future.

Take healthcare, for instance.

We often think of it as a huge, lumbering beast, but in truth, medicine has undergone a series of revolutions in the past 200 years that are at least equal to those we see in technology and information.

The first stirrings of modern chemistry and biology were only just beginning in the 19th century, but by 1967, Christiaan Barnard started transplanting hearts. Similarly, it was only in the 1950s Watson and Crick discovered DNA. Less than 50 years later, the first draft of the human genome was produced. If that’s not rapid, world-shattering change, then what is?

Pharma has also faced other challenges the web industry is only now starting to realize. Products are slow to make, and drugs can take years to design, test and manufacture. Accordingly, R&D spending in pharmaceuticals is very high overall; according to the European Union (PDF), five of the world’s top 10 companies by R&D spend are in drugs or biotechnology (among traditional technology companies, only Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung feature in the list). And it’s a far greater proportion of total turnover (Pfizer spends around one seventh of revenues on research, Apple spends around one dollar on R&D for every 13 it brings in).

And where the planet’s electronics giants spend billions attempting to end piracy and patent infringement, pharmaceutical companies are rapidly adjusting to the fact that they only get 12 years before patent protection ends and other companies can introduce generic drugs. Imagine a situation where Windows 98 was already old enough to be forcibly open-sourced, and you get the idea of how disruptive that might be.

So, what does the pharmaceutical industry have to teach us?

First, be careful. Your property and ideas won’t be yours for long.

Second, while new discoveries are important, revolutions can be reliably predicted, most of the time. From the outside, Barnard’s transplants were a radical shift in surgery. From inside the profession, it was the next obvious step after previous organ transplants.

Third, the way money is being spent will inevitably change. It’s already happening: an issue addressed by the latest VC bulletin from Go4Venture, a London-based advisory group for European entrepreneurs and investors (you can sign up here). Their latest dispatch outlines the state of deal-making in Europe (more of them, but less valuable, as reflected in figures we wrote about last month), and they also point out Europe’s technology financing system is undergoing a significant shift:

[there is a] major structural change in European venture capital financing where corporates will play a more prominent role going forward. Corporates are facing a lasting ex-growth market environment (courtesy of debt-laden Western economies) and realise that internal R&D is rather expensive and just cannot cover the whole front of innovation.

For corporates, investing in start-ups has the added advantage of encouraging a more entrepreneurial culture inside and creating a stream of acquisition opportunities.

Pharma has been there before, in an early move precipitated by proprietary drugs coming off patent, and we are now seeing the pharma model spreading to other IP-driven sectors.

Spending more of the R&D budget on other companies doesn’t just mean acquisition, of course — although the startup world is very familiar with the process and it’s clearly the most common option. Just yesterday, Google spent $60 million making the slightly odd move to buy British price comparison website BeatThatQuote. It could also mean more early investment in small companies, like the $100,000 Microsoft is putting into Moscow-based anti-piracy startup Pirate Pay.

But what it does mean is, ultimately, the growth in the number of deals we’re seeing is going to get faster, and there will be more opportunities for innovative startups and smart entrepreneurs. Twinned with the aggressive, high valuation investing strategy of a company like Russia’s Digital Sky Technologies, it seems more likely than not we’ll see things explode, in Europe and elsewhere, over the next year or two.

Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts let investors in on a little secret Wednesday during his keynote speech at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference in San Francisco.

The 51-year-old executive's biggest concern over the last  year was nothow best to fold NBC Universal into Comcast.  No, Roberts said, it was the transition to replace his No. 2 executive, Steve Burke, who had been in charge of the day-to-day operations of the company's lucrative cable business.

Last month, when Comcast took control of NBC Universal, Burke became chief executive of the television and movie company.  Burke surrendered his role and title of chief operating officer of Comcast.  Neil Smit -- who joined Comcast 13 months ago from cable company Charter Communications -- is now executive vice president in charge of all of Comcast's cable operations.

Roberts called the executive changes Comcast's "most important transition."

After all, Comcast's core business of cable TV, Internet and telephone service brings in $36 billion in annual revenue.  Comcast's programming business, which now includes NBC Universal, generates a little more than half that amount.

Despite dramatic changes underway in the media business, Roberts remains bullish on the company's prospects. Comcast raised its dividend last month and plans to buy back $2 billion in stock. The Philadelphia-based company, Roberts said, took control of NBC Universal at a particularly advantageous time. The NBC Universal businesses are now doing better than when the deal was first announced in late 2009, and Comcast needed less money than it had anticipated -- $6.2 billion in cash versus $6.5 billion at the time of the announcement -- to pay General Electric Co., which now has a minority stake in NBC Universal. 

The television advertising market has rebounded in the last year, and there's a new stream of revenue as cable companies begin to pay the broadcast networks for their programming.

Roberts said he expects NBC to help bolster Comcast's Golf Channel and Versus, a cable sports network. On the movie side, Comcast can use its clout to shorten the traditional period of time before movies become available on DVD and video-on-demand services, a benefit to Comcast customers.  And soon, NBC Universal programming will be available, joining Turner channels, HBO, Starz and Showtime, on Comcast's anytime, everywhere TV service, Xfinity TV, which now has an application available for the iPad.   

On Wednesday, Roberts suggested that the company's jewel is its broadband Internet service, which now has 17 million customers. That makes Comcast the largest Internet provider in the nation at a time when consumers are increasingly watching news and entertainment online.

"In the next 10 years, people will want more bits in their house than ever before," Roberts said, referring to Internet network capacity. And Comcast's investment in its high-speed networks should help it battle rivals that have cut into Comcast's customer base:  satellite TV providers and telephone companies AT&T and Verizon, which now offer Internet and TV channels.

"We are focused on broadband,"  Roberts said.  "The bet we are making is to be the best pipe. It's as simple as that."

Making Money Internet

The biggest names in the tech industry seem to have collectively decided it's time to make the billions. Sure Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have sold some ads and Foursquare brokered some promotional deals. But with the second wave of IPOs on the horizon and investors' eyeballs getting as round as the tech bubble, the time is nigh for tech demigods to show that they can make money off all those users they've spent years accumulating. And hopefully not alienate them in the process. Today, Mark Zuckerberg inched closer to that dream of a trillion dollars by offering streaming movies — and tanking Netflix's stock. Meanwhile, YouTube closed a deal on a production company presumably to make its very own content. Intel cast a wide net to examine tech companies' latest money-making ventures. Then we looked into our CrystalBall app to see what they might try next.

Facebook

Moneymaker: Warner Bros. just became the first Hollywood studio to stream movies directly on the social network. Facebook has been making a big move toward e-commerce lately, and the fact that you have to use Facebook Credits to buy movies and TV shows could be the tipping point to get users to hand their credit card info over to Mark Zuckerberg. Plus, studios looking for a way to stop Netflix's growth might not make Facebook suffer the same 28-day waiting period for new content.

Downside: At 30 credits (or $3) for a 48-hour rental for The Dark Knight, it will cost you. Plus, you have to "like" the movie or the director to get the privilege. Do you really want hundreds of your Facebook friends to see you "liked" and watched Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day?

What's next: Why should you use a credit card to buy Facebook Credits when you can use Zuckerbills (coming to a U.S. Treasury in 2020)?

Twitter

Moneymaker: In order to make money off its free iPhone app, this weekend Twitter introduced a number of new features, including Quickbar, a "forced trending topics bar" that includes promoted tweets — negating the idea of a service that quickly shows you what's actually trending.

Downside: Pundit John Gruber quickly dubbed the feature "Dickbar" after Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, but Gruber issued the unfortunate nickname on Twitter and it was widely retweeted. Advantage Costolo.

What's next: Can we pay someone to monitor our Twitter feed for us? It's getting overwhelming. Either that or design personalized lists of the best people to follow based on what's important to us, like updates on Libya and breaking bear-cub news.

Foursquare

Moneymaker: At SXSW this week, Foursquare is set to announce a partnership with American Express that will link users' credit cards with their Foursquare accounts. The incentive to consumers? Deals like "spend $5, save $5" at participating merchants. Although Foursquare said its motivation is to increase membership and loyalty and that it won't charge Amex for the privilege, it's hard to believe that will stay the case if it catches on.

Downside: We don't have an Amex card. And (confession) although we use the app for recommendations, we've never actually checked in anywhere. Sorry, Dennis and Naveen! But if they add other credit cards, we would.

What's next: How about a service that warns you beforehand if you're about to friend one of those compulsive people who check in with handfuls of people at name-dropping locales?

YouTube

Moneymaker: YouTube just closed a deal to buy Internet video company Next New Networks, the producers behind Auto-Tune the News, for less than $50 million. Although rumor had it that Google was trying to get into the video-production business, Business Insider reports that the move is actually designed to help existing YouTube partners make "more and better content." Which then leads to more users and, subsequently, more expensive ads.

Downside: Isn't YouTube's strength either grainy weird viral videos or pirated television, movie, and music content? The second could definitely use better quality, but does it even matter for the former?

What's next: How about veering into Hulu territory?

Skype

Moneymaker: Just regular old advertising on the Windows version of its paid video communications service.

Downside: Although Skype says it won't show ads during the video conferencing yet, this could devolve into a Minority Report-style advertising assault.

What's next: Would it be possible to embed microphone/receiver in our brain so we don't have to use the special headset? Just curious.

Update: TechCrunch makes an important clarification. Facebook hasn't announced its own streaming movie service. Rather the movie offering comes from Warner Brothers app that uses Facebook Credits' payment system. But if it proves successful and other studios follow suit, Zuckberg can still count on more personal credit card info coming his way. Someone better go tell Netflix's shareholders.
