Extra! Extra! Cheap flicks, safe-ish kids and a 'Shanghai Initiative'

• See a movie in a Shanghai theater for 3 kuai. Twenty four digital cinemas have opened in Shanghai, but the story doesn't mention where any of them are.
• More talk of a Shanghai taxi fare hike.
• Shanghai's streets are safe for kids! (Only when compared to Beijing and Guangzhou -- "the annual death toll from traffic accidents in 5.8 people for every 100,000 children in Shanghai, compared with 7 in Beijing and 8.9 in Guangzhou.")
• IKEA thinking about opening another Shanghai branch.
• The "Shanghai Initiative" sounds like the title to an upcoming John Le Carre book. But nope, it's just another attempt at reining in intellectual property violations.
• Chinese government websites were hacked 2,027 times in 2005.
• Yay! Shanghai's men's team won the national volleyball title for the third year in a row. (Any idea where they play?)
• If you are interested: A look at China's wireless market.
• Remember that online Xiangyang Market we told you about? Yeah, it got shut down.
• Danwei unveils Danwei TV 3 and lists their favorite Chinese-language blogs and BBSs.
