And he would be wrong. Remember, these criminals essentially get these parts for "free", they can undercut Apple even if Apple sells at cost. And Apple never sells anything at cost.

Google is the bad guy to me. Apple is not necessarily good, but 1000 times more trustworthy when it comes to user privacy. Google is the cult leader of sucking every little details off its users because it genuinely believes it has the righ

Yup, as a Chinese I find seafood selection in your typical US supermarket borderline offensive if not so pathetic. In China even a small city with 400000 population (that is small in China, don't argue.) located 1000 miles from sea wou

Mobile operator does not capture anything from the iOS Eco-system, ust like in the US. Since all mobile operators are state owned, I suspect this arrangement created a sore point between the Chinese government and Apple.

I don't believe Gruber is complaining about The Deck being blocked, rather arguing that some ad networks are "more equal than others" (which I believe is true BTW). It matters little financially though, Gruber's main rev

I'm Chinese, and I am constantly reminded by /r/worldnews that blatant ignorance and hate for everything China is a thing, a common thing. Still I do not understand Reginald's reasoning. The world or reddit for that matt

First, I think EU was wrong on Microsoft's case with IE integration. At the end of the day, a superior Chrome decimated IE's dominance, not EU's fine or mandatory browser chooser. Second, at the time IE was stale beyond belie

Because Chinese people are still poor and you white saviors are good Samaritans doing God's work lifting us?

That is not true, Apple map is better than Google's in China, better than Baidu at navigation even. It uses a local map provider's (amap.com) data of course.

Because Google and its acolytes like to portray the company as the omnibenevolent curator of all that is good with the world(by world I mean everything online)?

The biggest win for me is contact access control, it drives me absolutely nuts when a messaging app or whatever insists on having full access of my very private and valuable contact info.

if I recall correctly, Apple's Bluetooth BLE UUID is also randomized while in broadcasting mode.

If I haven't experienced the translucent effect on iOS 7 I would be as skeptical as you are. But despite all the amateurish things Apple did with iOS (Oh the icons),the translucency is actually very tasteful and providing a satisfactor

I have nothing constructive to add. Just as a Chinese who frequently hosts dinner party for friends and coworkers, the idea of someone voluntarily using soylent as meal substitute is utter crazy and I feel personally insulted by the mere ex

Well,that's a problem for Google,not the users.

The thing is I have absolutely no interest in join a bloody social network just to use my phone book, as a matter of fact I block every app on my phone from accessing the contacts info. I suspect that I'm not alone in this regard.

I'm sorry, but Chinese people do not consider Philippines a proper enemy. Do consider another possibility though, that China now is really confident in its military power that taking back the islands by force become a realistic possibi

There is constant outcry especially since last year. And protest happens daily in China. It's just that normally people stay on particular issues at hand rather than nebular banners such as "small government" etc, for cultura

One Child policy is not well implemented across China especially in the rural area. People from rural area is also over represented in the military. I don't have any numbers but I'll bet more than half that's in the service s

I'm Chinese, my bosses happen to be Chinese too. We have iPads, tonnes of them, if not for the iPads laying around to distract the executives on several occasions I might be in a bigger hole than I am in right now. I really wanted to l

I made the decision to purchase 12 Surface Pros for our company's executive team for their need of mobile computing and entertainment in the air. They are pretty, fits all the criteria on the paper and seem more business oriented than

Because it is inconsistent, jarring I might say for no benefit to the user even after a year. Yes, in many ways it is better than Windows 7 and in some ways it is better than OSX as Windows always has been. But in the most visible ways it i

Yes they will (most of times). One thing to remember: Taobao is entirely third party sellers. Nothing you buy come from Taobao itself. So from item to item, the terms vary quite a bit.

The country can be scarily efficient given appropriate incentives and/or connections. If something is stalled beyond reasonable period, chances are there are wheels to be oiled somewhere.

If you are having such a hard time come up with $200 to buy into the ecosystem, I'm sure you have other priorities than paying $2 per month for 8 articles that you may or may not find interesting.

No, but I do not consider violence inherently evil either. As a matter of fact it seems most people do not consider violence inherently evil, it is unjustifiably glorified in western culture I'd say, by western I mean American, by American

But there are many ways of inflict damages, patent lawsuit is just one of them. Why is this weapon special? If it is inherently evil, then using it under any condition should be condemned. If it is not, then again why treat it like it's spe
