China's Megatron Tank

Warning, do not mess with China, they have a Megatron Tank!

Ahhh, we need not worry for now. This is more of an art project rather than a mean killing machine. But if looks could kill, this one is a beast. Weighing 5,000 kg and measures 4.5m×3.2m×2.5m, this spikey metalwork is said to be built entirely of scrap steel.

Ok so at least for now, head to head in the battlefield, Philippines' Zimba tank will kick the hell out of this Megatron tank.

Go Daddy Stops in China

Go Daddy Inc. had stopped registering new domain names in China (also Network Solutions LLC stopped processing domains in China). Reason being the strict internet policy of China requires the registrant to give head shots and just a little more ID like business identifications & signed forms.

You think it would stop there but here's the part where the red flag shows up (pun intended). After Go Daddy collects the registrant data and photo, they need to send the data to the Chinese government. Wow! Indeed, they are an accessory to China's data mining.

"We just made a decision that we didn't want to act as an agent of the Chinese government," Christine Jones of Go Daddy Inc told lawmakers. The company currently manages about 27,000 ".cn" domain names. They have a small market share of .cn names but their pullout is another landmark move by company doing business in China.

The biggest firm of all, Google has an ongoing trade and policy war with China. China wants filtered search results.

China still claims though that they are "open for business." But their actions, say otherwise.
