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…
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.
On the other hand "+" is not happening, please stop.
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…
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…
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.
I think you've gone full magneto here :) which is kinda awesome.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
Now I can say I vomit at groklow's general direction without any reservation.
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…
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…
The same goes for every navigation apps in China, the 3G speed and coverage is just not there yet.
