If you look up that "professor" you will see him quoted saying for the same thing for UMTS (that's 3G...), and spouting non-sense on how he has developed some gizmo to detect "Electromagnetic Sensitive people". Yeah

I read the first book in that trilogy, and it struck me how much it was a product of the Hu Jintao era. Under the presidency of Xi Jinping this book would have never been allowed. Way too snarky about the Cultural Revolution (I mean, in it

Customer review: I bought one of those a few years ago and found the simili-trackpoint completely unusable. Very very stiff and nowhere near a laptop one, let alone a Thinkpad one. Unicomp are nice Model M substitutes, but don't buy on
