Scans from "The Pyong Yang Times" sept 22, 2001

Yesterday evening I watched "North Korea Undercover" on National Geographic and this reminded me of my trip to Pyong Yang in 2001 (just after 9./11 attacks). I remembered I took a few items with me back home and kept them as a souvenir. Among those, a newspaper. Here are scans from "The Pyong Yang Times" dated 22 september 2001. As you can see, lots of propagandistic stuff, and a very small item on the 9/11 attacks (which was 11 days ago then.. The world news channels were still full of it).

Anyway, I hope you like them. A small warning, the full size images are 2000 pixels in height, so you may want to save them locally before viewing.

As far as DPRK goes.. I am determined to go back again. But I'm not sure when and how. Time will tell.

iPhone 3G and GPS

I love my iPhone, but there is one thing I'm struggling with: GPS
I think it doesn't work since I haven't been able to get an accurate position in Maps. The triangulation based on cells work, but that's only accurate up to about 1700m and doesn't really match the current position.
I've checked the boards and see that it may be firmware related. However, I'd like to be sure. Is there a diagnostics tool available to check if the gps hardware is actually working?
Maybe I should download the SDK and write a tool myself (I bet there are some calls to check if there is an active GPS module)
In any case, I'm slightly worried it may be the hardware. I don't want to return the iPhone and have to wait for week to get it back.
