More arrested related to black web
Members who “positively developed” a porn-webpage which is said the largest of its kind in Vietnam, mocxi.com, were arrested in the past few days.
According to police, at least two more were arrested on November 18, raising the number to 15. These people are defined as members who “positively developed” this porn site.
mocxi.com was existing for several years in the name of a “forum educating young people healthy sexual life”. However, a huge volume of pornographic pictures and articles were updated on this site.
From over 90,000 members in early 2007, this website had up to 289,303 members by early November 2008. By the time it was closed, the site had more than 1.6 milllion entries and pictures about sex.
According to alexa.com, by November 16, mocxi.com ranked the 84th of the top 100 popular websites in Vietnam. Previously, it sometimes ranked at higher positions than some reputed online newspapers.

Yahoo opens resources for Vietnamese programmers
Chang Sau Sheong, Technical Director of Yahoo Southeast Asia, said the opening of resources is a global trend that all big technology groups in the world are pursuing.
Yahoo on Wednesday introduced more than 250,000 application programming interfaces (API) for the community of Vietnamese programmers.
These resources can be downloaded from the Yahoo! Developer Network (YDN). These are valuable online sources of information about web services, API, design models, source codes, and related documents of Yahoo.
Most of them are provided free. Vietnamese network and search engine developers can use the available resources offered by Yahoo to design their applications. However, Yahoo may ask for a share of profit from commercial products.
The opening of its resources to Vietnam is part of Yahoo’s Open Strategy, one of the group’s global reform plans. Accordingly, developers can combine Yahoo with the “best applications” of other networks.
