한국인들에게 피로는 아주 흔한 증상입니다. 피로는 자신이 원하는 만큼의 활동을 할 수 없을 때와 신체적 또는 정신적으로 피로감을 느낄 때를 의미하지요.

한편, 피로감으로 느껴지지는 않지만, 피로와 똑같은 증상이 있는데 그것은 뒷목 뻣뻣함, 눈피로감, 온몸 아픔 등입니다. 피로 대신 이런 증상이 느껴지는 것은 성취의 의지가 강한 한국인의 뇌가 몸에서 오는 피로감을 느끼지 못하도록 차단하기 때문이지요.

Yes, the developer NemusTech thinks foreigners will find saunas in Korea to be so popular that they’ve labeled their free version, “Korean sauna edition”. I didn’t really use the app to find where the saunas… or jim jil bangs (an interesting experience worthy of its own blog post)… were, but if that’s your thing, you’ll get more out of this super handy and easy to use app for the Seoul subway system.

Dan and the team at O’ngo Food Communications have created a Korean food iPhone app. It looks to have some interesting features, such as a slot machine style interface categorizing each dish under “taste”, “style,” and “food” type. And you can’t complain about the sleek clean design.

Google on Wednesday released data on censorship requests made by 40 governments around the world from July to December last year. Korea asked the Internet search firm to remove 64 items from its services during the six month period, ranking 5th in the number of requests.
Brazil topped the list with 291 removal requests, followed by Germany (188), India (142) and the U.S. (123).
Of the 64 requests by Korea, online advertisements accounted for the largest share with 38 cases, followed by web search results (18). The Korean government also requested four map items, one news article and one blog be deleted.
Japan and Taiwan ranked low with less than 10 requests each. China was excluded from the statistics because it regards “censorship demands as state secrets, so we cannot disclose that information at this time,” Google said. If China had been included, it would have ranked first, the Internet firm added.

According to researchers at South Korea’s Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI), North Korea’s Linux-based “RED Star” software is mainly designed to monitor the Web behavior of its citizens and control information made available to them.
However, the computer operating system does represent North Korean efforts to advance its computer technology, which lags as a result of the country’s isolation, relying on Linux and other open-source software, said Kim Jong-seon, a STEPI researcher.
“The fact that North Korea established a computer operating system to control the flow of information within the country is meaningful in itself. By improving its ability to develop Linux-based programs, North Korea seems to be looking to expand the use of its computer programs in more areas,” he said.
“There hasn’t been any research on North Korean computer operating systems and other software, and we need to assess the level of technology as well as the attempts to overcome the years of isolation through open source programs.”
Prior to developing Red Star in 2002, the North Korean government relied on the English version of Microsoft Windows, according to STEPI.
