But that's not on account of brainwashing, that's could be on account of having no need for it. I've lived in China for 5 years and have survived without Google fine. Could also be that most young/modern Chinese have an

I laugh when I read that quote because really it's a daily leaderboard of products that just launched. There's no way for the to say what's best when everything's only 5 days old.

I'm in China and noticed this! Tried to download a PDF from S3 and it took at least 5 tries before I could get it.

Downloaded it. Experience is a bit strange, ex: swipe down to refresh doesn't appear to do anything, then after a 1 min lag it refreshes the content. I love being able to handwrite on my photos, but really hate not being able to save m

Actually, while I was getting an error, the system actually did subscribe me. I've just tried again and received the 'already subscribed' message, so I guess it works (but kind of still doesn't) haha

Same for me (China here)... Are we to believe that this will only be available in the US store?

We see a lot of this in China, with apps like Papa (like Instagram adding an accompanying audio clip). Most people are tired of reading here and would prefer sound or, now, video (we just got a Vine clone). With that said, my thought is: wh

If it's coincidence, it's an incredible one. I reloaded the site two more times, and got The Lorax repeatedly. If it's not coincidence, am I supposed to look at Mr. Dryden and think "I want to see The Lorax... oh how convenient! There it is

Agreed -- would love to know how this goes!

Nah, most people are just genuinely concerned about him, especially when he disappears. I'm in China -- if I did this in NYC, I wouldn't have done it. But that type of malicious intent is far, far less here. When he's gone, there's lots of

Not bragging here, but a while ago I used IFTTT to create a system where I created a quasi-alert system for a local legend/mentally ill guy who wanders the subway in my city. Everyone knows him, but sometimes he disappears for a month or tw
