<description><![CDATA[Don't be alarmed, but birds are taking over. Tiny birds, angry birds, and now flightless Antarctic birds. If only Alfred Hitchcock were alive to see this.The latest fowl to fly to the top of the App Store charts Penguins--specifically, Air Penguin, which currently holds the No. 1 spot. It's ahead of Cut the Rope, ahead of Tiny Wings, and even ahead of all three Angry Birds games (including the recently updated-for-Easter Angry Birds Seasons).(Credit:Screenshot by Rick Broida)Why all the fuss At first I wasn't quite sure. Air Penguin is a pretty straightforward tilt-control game--not unlike Doodle Jump, but putting two axes into play instead of just one. It's your job to guide your bouncing, somersaulting, sliding, occasionally flying penguin from one ice floe to the next, tilting your iDevice left, right, forward, and backward to steer him. One bad landing and you plop into the water' game over.Along the way you'll encounter increasingly difficult obstacles: smaller ice floes that are harder to land on, floes that are already cracked (and therefore can't be landed on), jumping swordfish, and, of course, sharks (which leap out of the water in a suitably fearsome fashion).Fortunately, there's help along the way as well: turtles to ride, fish to collect, whale blow-holes to land on (for a quick jump-boost), and so on.The fish you collect (or purchase in-game) can be exchanged for special power-ups. One of them gives you a one-time rescue from the water' another temporarily &quot;disables&quot; the sharks.Air Penguin is fun, no doubt about it. Addictive, too, pushing all the right &quot;just one more time&quot; buttons. I can't say it's captured my attention the way, say, Tiny Wings did (or even Cover Orange), but it's definitely a nice diversion--and an easy impulse buy at 99 cents.What do you think of Air Penguin Best game since Angry Birds, or just the flavor of the moment  Originally posted at iPhone Atlas    Rick Broida     Full Profile E-mail Rick Broida   E-mail Rick Broida If you have a question or comment for Rick Broida, you can submit it here.

<description><![CDATA[Google is accusing the Chinese government of interfering with the operations of the company's popular Gmail service.Gmail customers in China have complained during the past month of experiencing problems with the e-mail service, including difficulty sending e-mails and marking them as unread, in addition to other issues, according to a story first reported by The Guardian newspaper.&quot;There is no issue on our side' we have checked extensively,&quot; a Google spokesperson told CNET. &quot;This is a government blockage carefully designed to look like the problem is with Gmail.&quot;The revelation follows a March 11 Google on Security blog post in which Google said it had &quot;noticed some highly targeted and apparently politically motivated attacks against our users. We believe activists may have been a specific target.&quot; That post referred to a critical Windows MHTML vulnerability that Microsoft revealed in January that allowed hackers and other third parties that exploit the vulnerability to gain access to a user's information.Tensions between China and the search giant have been smoldering since Google disclosed the theft of intellectual property in January 2010, revealing that it and other companies were the victims of a &quot;highly sophisticated and targeted attack&quot; aimed at gathering information about human rights activists. For its part, the Chinese government has denied any involvement.As a result, Google said it no longer intended to filter search results and publicly declared its intention last March to move its Chinese-language Internet search operation in Hong Kong in hopes of bypassing censorship laws for companies that operate in mainland China. Last June, Google revealed that its users inside of China were unable to use Google's search suggestions feature, but the search giant did not at the time blame the Chinese government for the blockage. The next month, the Chinese government renewed Google's license to continue running its Web site in China.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
