OMG OMG OMG... sorry, but our inner japanese school-girl was just unleashed with the arrival of the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee addition. If Nokia had any sense, they'd expand the action-doll bundle to the world beyond Hong Kong. Even for 8,788 Chinese Yuan (about $1,286) we're seriously tempted. Watch Bruce clean up at ping pong in the Nokia video posted after the break -- no, seriously.

He insisted that making payments in return for the release of hostages would only encourage further such incidents./pp"There is a strong view of the British government, and actually the international community, that payments for hostage-taking are only an encouragement to further hostage-taking and we will be approaching this issue in a very delicate way, in a way that puts the security and safety of the hostages to the fore."/ppThe Sirius Star, which is carrying $100m (£66m) worth of oil, was a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/17/oil-tanker-pirates"hijacked at the weekend/a./ppThe 330-metre oil tanker, the largest ship ever captured at sea, is reported to be anchored near the town of Harardheere on a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/somalia"Somalia's/a eastern coast. /ppIts owner, Vela International, a subsidiary of the state oil company Saudi Aramco, yesterday opened ransom negotiations, according to the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal./pp"I know the owners of the tanker are negotiating on the issue. We do not like to negotiate with terrorists or hijackers. But the owners of the tanker, they are the final arbiters of what happens there," he said./ppThe UN estimates that pirates have received up to $30m in ransom payments this year./ppReports of the demand come as Russia announced it would send more warships to the aast Africa coast to prevent pirate raids. /ppThe Russian news agency RIA Novosti said the deployment of a missile frigate from Russia's northern fleet last month had helped prevent the seizure of at least two ships in the area./pp"Russia will be sending warships from other fleets to this region," said Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky, Russia's navy commander, attributing the decision to "the current developments off the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden, where Somali pirates have intensified their activity"./ppYesterday, an Indian warship destroyed a pirate "mothership" in the Gulf of Aden. The Indian navy said its frigate, one of the numerous international warships dispatched to patrol the waters around the Horn of Africa, had approached the suspicious vessel on Tuesday evening./ppIt turned out to be a previously captured ship being used by pirates as a base to launch their speedboats far out to sea./pp"The INS Tabar closed in on the mother vessel and asked her to stop for investigation," an Indian navy spokesman said. "But on repeated calls, the vessel's threatening response was that she would blow up the naval warship if it approached."/ppAfter a heavy exchange of fire, the pirate ship was destroyed. Two speedboats escaped./ppOn the same day, pirates seized three other ships: a Greek bulk carrier, a Thai fishing boat and an Iranian-chartered cargo ship carrying 36,000 tonnes of wheat from Germany. /ppIn September, pirates who captured the a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/27/3"Ukrainian ship MV Faina/a, carrying 33 army tanks, initially demanded $20m, although they later reduced their ransom./ppThe Faina and its crew are still being held near the north-eastern Somali fishing town of Eyl, together with more than a dozen other vessels with about 220 foreign seamen on board./ppAl-Jazeera yesterday broadcast an audio tape featuring what it said was the voice of Farah Abd Jameh, a pirate on the Sirius Star, making his demands./pp"Negotiators are located on board the ship and on land," he said. "Once they have agreed on the ransom it will be taken in cash to the oil tanker. We assure the safety of the ship that carries the ransom. We will mechanically count the money and we have machines that can detect fake money."/ppThe authenticity of the tape could not be confirmed./ppWhile the capture of so many passing cargo vessels makes a mockery of pirates' claims to be protecting the country from foreign exploitation, complaints about illegal fishing in Somali waters are genuine. /ppThe Seafarers' Assistance Programme in Mombasa says that at any one time there can be hundreds of foreign trawlers, mostly from Europe and the Middle East, fishing within Somalia's 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone./ppLocal fishermen say their catches are declining as a result. While some foreign ships do have permits, corrupt officials often pocket the money./ppAnalysts say that in the long term the key to ending piracy is establishing an effective authority on land in Somalia. Piracy all but disappeared in 2006, when the Islamic Courts Union controlled most of southern and central Somalia for six months, bringing in law and order for the first time since the early 1990s./ppPirates began to flourish once more after invading Ethiopian forces ousted the Islamists.

Just a few months ago, when Google launched its "Lively" 3D chat offering, I a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080708/1747161625.shtml"questioned Google's strategy/a, as it didn't seem to offer anything different or compelling. Some people here a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080708/1819441626.shtml"disagreed/a, and believed Google would be able to turn the service into something compelling, but that appears not to be. Since the launch, to be honest, I can't recall ever hearing about Lively again -- and had pretty much forgotten it existed. And, indeed, less than six months after launching it, a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/lively-no-more.html" target="_new"Google has killed off Lively/a, admitting that the experiment was something of a failure. br /br / There seems to be a growing pattern in figuring out which Google projects are a success and which will fail. When it merely copies something others are doing, as with Lively, it tends not to do very well. When it ichanges the game/i, as it did originally with things like Google Maps (the first real AJAXy mapping solution) and Gmail (huge storage and AJAXy front end), then it gets usage. Google's success has always been in reimagining products that people seem to believe are mature, and completely reshaping how people think about those products. That was true with maps (which had been dominated by MapQuest and Yahoo Maps for years) and email... and it was even true in search. People thought the search market was too crowded when Google showed up, but its solution was so different and so much more compelling it got attention. Lively, on the other hand, was a pure me-too play. There are half-a-dozen other offerings that effectively do the same thing. Google didn't give anyone a real ireason/i to use Lively... and, so it shouldn't be too surprising that Lively is now dead.br /br /a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20081119/2246282892.shtml"Permalink/a | a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20081119/2246282892.shtml#comments"Comments/a | a href="http://techdirt.com/article.php?sid=20081119/2246282892op=sharethis"Email This Story/abr / br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=6515b9f52a168e80ed93f13eced04ecap=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=6515b9f52a168e80ed93f13eced04ecap=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=6515b9f52a168e80ed93f13eced04eca" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~f/techdirt/feed?a=J5Xcn"img src="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~f/techdirt/feed?i=J5Xcn" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.techdirt.com/~r/techdirt/feed/~4/459434043" height="1" width="1"/
