Oh come on, make a quick buck and then take the moral high ground to deal with your ignorance on IP laws when your predicted inevitable outcome happens? :) That's way disingenuous. It makes much more sense for them to have thought I

I'd have to understand Malaysian IP laws before I can comment on that, may or may not agree. For Taiwan, I disagree, as Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters, not simplified Chinese characters. IANAL, so maybe simplified vs trad

If you're using a Chinese name in Chinese characters and heavily targeting China, I have no sympathy for you if you're going to try to play chess without knowing the rules. Creationer is on point. Don't want the risks that c

Right in the reddit post, he writes they were marketing it as 点击英雄 in 2014 on a Chinese website. It does look like they were targeting China. There is nothing on that post to indicate otherwise. It does not sound like they were resigned

Wait, they targeted China, released in China, made money in China, but didn't register trademarks in China? I'm sorry, when in Rome.... If they were going so heavy into China, they should have researched Chinese trademark law. Why

But it's also not Google's fault if there's no option. It's hard to get a new mobile OS to gain traction. Microsoft tried. Samsung tried. Firefox is trying. Even Huawei has been developing a Plan B for a few years a

Honestly, that seems to describe a lot of companies, including some tech companies, not sure it's unique to loyalty program companies.

Have only raised stray cats. Their desire to bond with me and stay at my door and wait for me to come home would not indicate that they were cold feral strays.

I used to get weird phone calls all the time for people having trouble with their phone service. Weird part was that I actually worked for the telecom, but making software in some obscure department, not as customer support. I was so conf

So I'm doing an MBA right now. Yeah, I know, I know. Anyway, it's a world-ranked program, located in Hong Kong. I will say that I actually have learned a lot, if that makes the below easier to believe. One of my classmates is a

Congrats, new help desk options are always cool. I can see this being great for web-based businesses, which I suppose is the target from what I can see. For my needs, I unfortunately need help desk software for a corporate environment. T

I'm not making fun of you, I'm just guessing that the value you get from my service is worth more than the concerns you have about your privacy. Come join me. I promise I won't hurt you so much. You'll enjoy it.

People have sued the wrong person and lost plenty of times. He probably wouldn't lose if he got sued, but even if he won, the trouble might be more than he wants to handle. And if he does lose, well, that would really suck, and that&#x

I don't think it's logical for them to have local stock. That would require a HUGE capital investment to build up infrastructure and distribution points to go head to head with the locals. I bet Amazon's CFO looks at that a

Living and working in China and having experienced Amazon's competitors, yes, that does read completely right to me. Amazon is crushing it at everything back home. I don't hesitate to buy many things from Amazon when at home. B

What's with these comments that Amazon couldn't win in China because they didn't play well by Chinese rules? The article paints a pretty compelling picture that the issue is that Amazon couldn't compete well with local

That's true. But there are also VCs who invest in anything because they're just trend followers and are equally clueless.

I'd be interested in why this is such a sticking point and the language doesn't just evolve to accept this phrasing. American English seems to have accepted that you can end sentences with a preposition, or is that just my misconc
