International Issue with weather docklet
Hopefully this is a misunderstanding
hey all,
I recently installed ObjectDesktop and thought it was the best thing ever, both in quality and viewing pleasure. When I tried the weather docklet for my city however, it told me the weather feed was unavaible. I didnt pursue the matter. I live in Taipei, Taiwan. I tried again today with the examples listed: Berlin, Germany and the postal code 48104. Both worked fine. I decided to try out Taipei, China, since we are often misunderstood to be Chinese and part of China. This worked.
I would like to point out that Taiwan is NOT part of China, whatever the Chinese government may say. Our situation is highly similar to what is happening in Tibet, though we do not have the PLA bitting up our @sses yet. The majority of the Taiwanese believe Taiwan to be a seperate country from China, not part of it. Our matter, however, is a lot less publicized as the status quo has not been changed for a very long time. We are not legally a country but only a de facto entity in the international community. We are not part of the UN, the WHO, the WHA, etc. We are only in the WTO because people wish to make money out of us. However much we strive to be part of something international, China denies it. I believe this to be a flagrant abuse of human rights and i think that this matter should be looked into and hopefully corrected ASAP.
Hopefully this is purely a misunderstanding on behalf of Stardock, as objectdesktop is an excellent piece of software. However, at the moment i cannot have this installed and not have my conscience act up on me, so until this is corrected, I will uninstall Object Desktop.
hope this is read by somebody who wishes to make a difference in the world.
