Exactly, I bought Flex, Force, Aria and I used to love Fitbit as a company. All the recent shit they pulled off made me very disappointed. Not gonna throw another cent at them.

> Tencent - Non-copy cat company, crazy amount of innovation and market penetration Wait, what? This is a terrible example. Tencent is anything but innovative. They are notorious for copying ideas from local startups.

Reading that comment made me really wish someone paid him to do that. Otherwise that was just too pathetic.

There is a huge difference between a sports watch and a sports edition of a watch.

This is pretty ridiculous comparison. The Apple watch is clearly not targeted to any serious runners/triathletes. I don't recall anyone claim it's a "sports watch".

I am not sure where you are going here. China didn't claim all the ocean either, they want the islands.

On the side note, people need to stop doing benchmarks on a freaking watch. The spec war on smartphones was ridiculous enough, and now they are bringing it to wearables.

Great answer but I think you are overselling the importance of HuKou. For one, HuKou certainly doesn't get you "the highest paid jobs in both the public and private sector". Your degree/profile/experience are the de

"very cheap" - There is no need for the quote. The real estate price in China, especially in Shanghai has been skyrocketing in the past decade. The average apartment price in the city is close to 10k USD(per square meter) now.

"Today, China's borders are wide open. Almost anybody who wants a passport can get one." What's wrong with this?

"It is very hard to figure out what happened exactly" - This is exactly the reason why I am very skeptical about all these articles. Growing up in China, I first learned about this on Wikipedia back in the days when it was not blo

Whenever they release a new gadget, they make the announcement and then make you to wait. Their online shop has this queuing system which is super hard to get in whenever they make a new release. And it usually get "sold out" in a

I am so tired of this kind of ignorant bullshit. Do you folks still think countries like Vietnam are still like what they were thirty years ago? Like it or not, that part of the world has changed a lot.

Despite all the plaintext password nonsense, I still can't wrap my head around the fact that there is an API call for getting passwords. What legitimate use could it possibly be?

Are you suggesting that all non-Western countries civilians are living in fear for their life? This is a new level of ignorance. Even if you just meant Vietnam, believe or not, a lot of things have changed in the last few decades.

I did my co-op in a big bank. The stuff you said is exactly the reason why I am working at a start-up now. Or maybe it's just banks that suck?
