Delphi wins contracts for GM models
TROY -- Delphi Corp., the world's largest auto-parts
maker, said it won contracts to supply components ranging from steering
systems to satellite radios for three of General Motors Corp.'s cars and light
trucks. The orders are for 2003 models of Chevrolet's Cavalier small car,
Silverado pickup truck and Suburban sport-utility vehicle, the company said.
General Motors spun off Delphi in 1999 and accounted for 68 percent of the
parts supplier's $26.1 billion in sales last year. The Cavalier is the automaker's
best-selling car and the Silverado is its top-selling pickup.

Real-Time Testing of Internet Filtering in China
Documentation of Internet Filtering Worldwide
Jonathan Zittrain* and Benjamin Edelman**
Berkman Center for Internet & Society
Harvard Law School
The authors are studying Internet filtering in countries worldwide,
including restrictions on Web access in China. There is no master list
of blocked sites that we (or, from what we can tell, anyone else) can access.
Rather, we test "twenty questions" style, asking about individual URLs,
whether based upon a domain name or an IP address.
