國民與棋迷質素

兩個月前寫過一篇重回棋壇的文章，提到古力李世石十番棋，剛剛曲終人散：古以2:6不敵李。本來兩個棋界響噹噹的名字來個十回合大戰，頗有古風，實為美事，棋迷其實無需太介懷戰果（棋手可能在意那高額獎金）不過據報導不少中國棋迷指今次十番棋無意義，是否有點輸打贏要？

後記：比賽結束已一陣子，仍有不少文章討論是次十番棋，總算有點一石（李世石？）激起千層浪之感。有位老外高手(業餘七段)Rob van Zeijst更就此戰寫了一書（兩冊）有趣的是作者講明每冊分析五局，但十番棋只下了八局:P

Concern for trade secret and source code

I dug up an old unfinished post of mine from years ago which has to do with the controversy caused by the China Compulsory Certificate on IT security products back in 2009. Foreign tech industry worried such certification would require disclosure of source code used in their products and thus leaked out trade secret and intellectual properties. Seems like that didn't happen as China changed the rules.
