China Clamps Down on Uncensored Google Search

China Clamps Down on Uncensored Google Search

A week after Google started redirecting Chinese search users to its Hong Kong site in order to avoid having to censor results, many search queries from within China are getting the Great Firewall treatment. The move was widely expected by most, and with Google's mobile services also getting a partial block in China, it's clear the government isn't a fan of Google's shenanigans when it comes to deciding what its citizens can access.

CSS In Depth Part 2: Floats & Positions

difference between paddings and margins, and what the box model is. This week we’ll be discussing positions and floats as well as what the
