The Dragon Boat Festival This ancient event, also known as Tuen Ng Festival, commemorates the death of a popular Chinese national hero, Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Mi Lo River over 2,000 years ago to protest against the corrupt rulers. Legend has it that as townspeople attempted to rescue Qu Yuan, they beat drums to scare fish away and threw dumplings into the sea to keep the fish from eating his body. The real highlight of the festival is the fierce-looking dragon boats racing in a lively, vibrant spectacle. Teams race the elaborately decorated dragon boats to the beat of heavy drums. The special boats, which measure more than 10 metres, have ornately carved and painted "dragon" heads and tails, and each carries a crew of 20-22 paddlers. Participants train in earnest for the competition. Sitting two abreast, with a steersman at the back and a drummer at the front, the paddlers race to reach the finishing line, urged on by the pounding drums and the roar of the crowds...

Think your secrets are safe? YOUR computer probably hides a little secret that you wouldn't want others to know. The secret may not be dirty at all, unlike those buried in the laptop of Hong Kong actor Edison Chen, whose near-pornographic snapshots of his bedroom conquests have been making the rounds on the Internet. Or those of Singapore Airlines pilot Ng Kok Yauw, who was caught in Adelaide International Airport earlier this week and fined for having porno on his laptop. But whether it is a family photo album, private e-mail messages, financial information such as bank account numbers and passwords, or sensitive business documents, many computer users here are still clueless on how to prevent their personal data from falling into the wrong hands. MOST USERS DON'T KNOW The New Paper on Sunday checked with three IT experts, and they agreed that users need to know that it doesn't take much effort to unearth such data even if the users think they have erase...

Are the pictures real? Everyone must have heard or read about this news. Some may be still guessing if the photo are real? What was a girl like Chung, from the squeaky-clean group Twins, doing in such an X-rated picture? Why would she have posed with a breast peeking out from her bikini and her legs spread apart? Did she even ever date Chen? Her company, Emperor Entertainment, declared in a statement when the pictures leaked out that the picture was a digital composite – a fake, in other words. Newspapers including Ming Pao Daily News, Apple Daily, Oriental Daily News and The Sun took the same position in front-page new stories last Tuesday. They said the photo and another allegedly of Chen and his reported ex-girlfriend Bobo Chan – which showed up on Monday – were digital fakes. But the serial prankster (or pranksters) struck over and over again last week, posting more and more explicit alleged pictures of Chen and Chung, and also of actress Cecilia Cheung. And more and more...
