"This wouldn't even happen in China": George Yang. Photo: Andrew Meares
Chinese journalists covering the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 from Canberra are furious at what they see as Australian government control of the media.
On Sunday, two Chinese crews decided to chase Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss into a car park at the Australian Maritime Safety Authority after being denied access to an AMSA briefing attended by Australian media.
The crews held an impromptu interview with Mr Truss but have complained at being ''locked out'' of any chance to put questions to AMSA boss John Young. On Monday, AMSA posted a security guard at the front of its headquarters.
George Yang, the chief correspondent for Hong Kong's Phoenix Satellite Television, said he had been asked to prove his credentials while he prepared to do a cross from public land. ''This wouldn't even happen in China,'' Yang said.

''It's been very frustrating, there seems to be a Chinese media blackout. It is unbelievable that this is happening in Australia. There are relatives in China who are devastated and looking for answers.''
In a statement, AMSA said the security guard had been posted ''to prevent media vehicles from blocking access to the building and to prevent unauthorised access.
''AMSA rejects any claims that we are treating members of the Chinese media any differently to others. Yesterday's media event was a pool arrangement organised in conjunction with the federal press gallery committee to allow access to the Rescue Coordination Centre whilst minimising disruption to the operations.
''Chinese media requested to join the pool but the request was declined by AMSA and they were advised to contact the press gallery committee to arrange access to the pool content, which was also made available on our website.''

We're being 'locked out': media
Stunned by a massive leak of sensitive documents, Sony Pictures Enterprises embarked Sunday on an attempt to contain the crisis by discouraging further media coverage of the leaked emails, which have embarrassed Hollywood stars and the studio's top executives.
Lawyer David Boies, writing on Sony's behalf to the Los Angeles Times and other news organizations, described the leaked material as "stolen information" and called on media outlets to destroy emails or other Sony documents in their possession.
First Amendment lawyers said that any attempt to block further publication of the material was likely to fail, and crisis management specialists said the effort could do Sony more harm than good.
The attempt to suppress coverage of the leaked information underscored how few options Sony has in responding to anonymous hackers who have thrown its business into turmoil, and who have shown no signs of relenting.
The hackers released a trove of sensitive data starting Nov. 24, including salaries of top executives and Social Security numbers of thousands of employees. The breach is expected to cost Sony tens of millions of dollars in computer security upgrades and damage control measures.
One series of emails showed studio Co-chairman Amy Pascal joking with producer Scott Rudin over whether President Obama prefers black-themed films such as "The Butler." Pascal and Rudin both apologized, but industry analysts have speculated that the emails could jeopardize the jobs of both Pascal and Chairman Michael Lynton.
A group calling itself Guardians of Peace has claimed responsibility, demanding that Sony cancel the Dec. 25 release of "The Interview," a comedy depicting a fictional assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The FBI is investigating the hack.
In his letter to media outlets, Boies wrote that the documents are "protected under U.S. and foreign legal doctrines protecting attorney-client privileged communications ... as well as private financial and other confidential information and communications."
Sony "does not consent to your possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading, or making any use of the stolen information, or making any use of the stolen information," wrote Boies, whose clients have included Microsoft Corp. and former Vice President Al Gore.
The Times stood by its coverage.

Sony calls on media to stop publishing hacked documents
If the only thing you want to do is stream Hitch on Netflix, then you can go ahead and skip this guide, and go check out all the media streamers that will surely meet your needs. If youve got the biggest TV of all your friends, a 7.2 surround sound system thats causing structural damage to your house, and yet you feel like something is still missing from your setup, then a media center PC might be just the trick.
Loading all of your movies, photos, music, and even video games wont be as easy as ordering a Roku on Amazon and waiting for it to arrive at your front door, but it will all be worth itwhen all you have to do is press one button on your remote to switch from Its Always Sunny toThe Lego Movie.
While you have a number of options for storing and playing back your media on a HTPC, one of the easiest and most reliable is an internal hard drive. A terabyte or two of storage gives you plenty of space to store movies, TV shows, and music, without having to worry about changing streaming services or renting Blu-ray discs. While a recent rise in the availability of streaming services has reduced the importance of internal storage, there are still plenty of sources for movies and music that require local storage.
Youll need to choose between a solid state drive and a mechanical drive for the Windows operating system. An SSD will feel quicker, but a traditional hard disk offers a much better per-gigabyte value, which is particularly appealing if you plan to store 4K movies locally.

Cant decide? There are ways to compromise. You can buy a very small SSD for Windows alone and pair it with a big mechanical disk for files. There are also drives that blend a largesolid state cache with a disk, such as those from Seagate.
If you think anything less than a terabyte just wont do for your media files, buying a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device may be an even more efficient option. Rather than store all of your videos and photos locally, you could instead transfer them to a set of hard drives thats connected to your network.
Usually local networks have more than enough efficiency to carry even large files across your wireless network, and it comes along with a number of other advantages. Transferring files from your desktop to your HTPC is fast and easy, because you can just store them on the NAS, and youll have access to those files from all of your devices.
In some cases, the NAS may provide some extra features, such as access to the files from outside your local network, or redundant backups so that you never have to worry about permanently losing files. Its certainly an extra cost, but a few terabytes of networked storage in the right hands could be better than streaming.
Unlike most PCs, which benefit from more air-flow and a larger form factor, a HTPC should fit right in with the rest of the appliances around your television set. For this reason, most users choose a Mini or Micro ATX case and motherboard, rather than the standard ATX tower, since the cases are much smaller and come in various different dimensions.
