    Half of $1B Apple Award From Samsung Invalidated

    It does not matter really if Apple is awarded 500m or 18b. They will simply pass the cost right back to Apple by raising prices for components they can not purchase elsewhere. Didn't they do it already? Pretty sure they did.

    Google Bows Down To China On Censorship

    This. Though I am not sure even China knows how China operates. I have lived in China for almost three years and it seems like one giant clusterfuck.

    China Slams "Distorted" View Of Copyright Piracy Problem

    The catch is that for most companies they do not even have anything close to a fair market if they wish to sell their goods in China. The number of foreign brands readily available in the big cities is quite small. This does not excuse the manufacturers of counterfeit goods but where there is a...

    China blocks NYT Story on Leader's 'Hidden Fortune'

    They execute those who become a liability or those with few friends when it is politically worthwhile. The certainly do execute people for corruption but...it's all a farce. They execute and hand out prison sentences to minor players so they can use it as 'proof' that the Party is tough on...

    China blocks NYT Story on Leader's 'Hidden Fortune'

    Blocked or not in China, most educated Chinese know what's going on. They may not know all the details but the details have little meaning. There are hundreds if not thousands of Chinese websites and blogs devoted to pointing out the wealth flaunted by the ruling elite. Ferraris, mansions...

    What Makes Life So Hard At Foxconn?

    Yeah maybe....except for the amenities available, the wages, benefits, the fact that people voluntarily apply for positions there by the THOUSANDS, and the employees can walk away at any time. Other than that you are spot on. Well said sir. Moron.

    New Google Feature Points Out Holes in China's Firewall

    Uh....even if half do use VPN's...which I highly doubt is even close to accurate, most still do not use google, they use baidu. The firewall is not cosmetic and the all the censorship and state sponsored online propaganda does have an impact. People do not know they are missing something if...

    Why Apple Products Are Made In China

    There is no plural, it is always yuan or RMB. Your post was a very interesting one, I feel like a bit of a tool that the above is all I have to offer.

    Why Apple Products Are Made In China

    Apple certainly gives a fuck about selling phones in China. Roughly 1.3 billion fucks. With your first sentence as an exception, you are talking out of your ass. Many people buy iphones here. People will scrimp on food for months to buy one if they need to. It is a status symbol here in a way I...

    China Takes Action to Stop Software Counterfeiting

    While I agree with you, I'd also like to see some more protectionist measure in the U.S. The Chinese do damn near everything they can to keep their own economy moving. While I do not agree with many of the measures they use to accomplish this, some have merit.

    Steve Jobs Really Hated Google

    While his post was not exactly polite, yours was no different. ...and your buddies and his comments are not related on any level. .......and...you said your job is to die. Seems you failed. Try harder.

    Excuse me sir, those are not deadly chemical fumes. That is simply the 'magic' escaping.

    Court Orders SOPA-Style Blackout of 100+ Music Sites

    Soon all of you will be using VPN's to access the unfiltered internet if this continues. I already have to. I live in China. What is your excuse?

    Illegal Drugs Sold Via Social Media

    The risks I mentioned were about purchasing something legally vs illegally. There is inherent risk involved though of course it's variable. ...and no, I do not think legalization would be all roses and rainbows. Not sure what led you to that conclusion. Of course there will be those who try...
