The A1530 actually falls back to 3G and then 2G depending on the part of Beijing. I don't really understand how that works, but the 3G is also much better than the 2G, which is pretty awful. One very painful thing about the A1530 is th

iPhone 5s's bought in Hong Kong (model A1530) work on the LTE network. The iPhone 5s's previously sold in the mainland, however, will not, as they lack the right chipset for receiving a TD-LTE signal. I'm guessing China Mobil

McDonalds and KFC do deliver in major Chinese cities. The biggest difference is the cost structure. Chinese cities have a very high population density, which makes delivery much easier. They also have relatively cheap labor (although this i

I've been skeptical of Google-branded hardware ever since my Nexus One stopped working due to a non-functioning power button. I find myself associating "beta" with their stuff - that's fine for software but not so much for physical goods.

Did you hesitate before sending this out due to the fear that such a letter might itself push the market closer towards a vicious cycle?

Thanks so much for this. This will be incredibly useful for me (behind the GFW, which gets moody about Wikipedia pretty often). Could this easily periodically update itself to grab fresh versions of articles? I think that would be a great f

Would an outgoing ssh request be hard to discriminate from an outgoing openvpn request or an outgoing https request? I don't know enough about how the protocols work to understand.

So then you're theorizing that this is a whitelist approach to VPN connections. Again, this would seem really heavy-handed, since it would block the vast majority of VPN traffic. It's certainly not the case for me currently (I'm in China),

How could such a technique actually give the firewall information pertinent to whether or not the offending site was illegal? It's like a MITM attack where they intercept the outgoing ssh connection, send seemingly arbitrary data to the ssh

It sounds like you were trying to do click arbitrage. Is that forbidden by Google / FB ads? I don't really understand why it would be, but I guess I could understand that being a more reasonable cause for a ban than the fact that you were a

Until recently, carriers were apparently able to avoid missile hits simply by moving at full speed - I guess it's still not trivial for a ballistic missile to hit fast, mobile targets (the US missile defense program probably faces similar e

This is my first exposure to Backbone (aside from hearing DHH recommend it at RailsConf). It looks like it helps formalize a lot of what I'd already come to realize was a good way of doing large JS apps - MVC design. However, I've found one

I hacked on Pidgin a while back and people talked about the Skype plugin a bit. From my understanding, the issue is that the Skype code is very obfuscated and reverse engineering the protocol would be very difficult - apparently, no one wit
