Chinese internet is like the rest of internet. Chinese people don't care about censorship of external sites, because they don't care about them, the same way you don't care about youku, weibo, kaixin, taobao, etc.. you use youtube, they use

Well, his account was probably sold in china, it's common (at least it still was a few months ago) on taobao (the chinese ebay), they sell you "gift cards" to be used within 12h after purchase, it's in fact accounts. I guess that's why Appl

too bad there's not so much said about optimizing latency, serving a lot of traffic is not that difficult, but getting the best latency to serve your files 50ms faster can make a big difference

To me the former is not being fluent, it's just knowing basics, the later is being fluent. But then there's being bilingual which is a completely different level, much more difficult to reach than being fluent IMO.

And it would have been fair. I completely agree with the article, but I was quite surprised by the subject after the link I clicked.

They're so far behind because they're dedicated to release only when they think it's bug-free enough (for all packages, including all dependencies), which can be long after they freeze versions and features. Another thing is they release th

With most of dedicated server providers now, you can get any server with a 1 month contract, no strings attached, for a fraction of the price of an equivalent ec2 instance, and good IO as a bonus. And good providers usually delivers within

They're being cautious I guess. I've been using it for a few months now, with test-releases, having it open 24/7, always with a lot of tabs, and it's pretty stable (maybe 3 or 4 crashes). There's regular updates, and new features. Great jo

here's a bug open at chrome : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=69777 but the issue is at twitter really. I noticed it a few days ago too, and chrome didn't update.

And Black Swan was a masterpiece too, way better than The Social Network IMO. IMDB seems to agree that Inception > Black Swan > TSN which makes me wonder who are the judges of golden globes ?

It's bullshit because the biggest part in the price of a paper book is for printing and distribution. and VAT too in some countries, 20% instead of 5%, but it's going to change. So the Agency pricing scheme is only changing the pocket where

I don't know about Heathrow-5 but I can tell about Beijing-3, and I think everyone telling it's a great airport has no clue. The flows are terrible, you often board at the farthest gate away, sometimes by buses, even though most of gates a

can't agree more with this, even in high-end places, service is awful. But I don't think tipping has anything to do with it.

App Store app is just a different interface to the itunes servers, you can try to copy links in App Store and you'll see the exact same kind of url as for tunes, movies, iOS apps, etc... In fact I don't understand why they didn't integrate

I think it's wrong to assume flickr represents the camera market. Not everyone care about putting their pictures online, those who care get an iphone/android/whatever. So of course iphone is trending on flickr. But the mass market of consum

it was already slow 6 months ago, so I created a new account. Now it's slow again, even worse than 6 months ago. Glad to see I'm not alone, but considering it's free, I think we can't really complain, however I'm considering yahoo mail, I'v
