So how that would be different from someone local holding a webcam? (or a cell phone) My point is that maybe there is an opportunity for such solution today. Instead of an expensive robot, one could hire a trusted person to hold a camera, s

QA in Chinese manufacturing is much more complicated than that. Look at this example that I just got from an excellent blog I normally follow: http://silkroadintl.net/blog/2010/09/01/%e2%80%9cdoing-busin... Note the amount of local knowle

Saramago was also an awesome blogger. Well, technically not a blogger per se -- His wife would post his writings for him. But his entries are fascinating and thought-provoking: http://caderno.josesaramago.org/category/o-caderno-de-sarama..

I don't think you can get a visa as a self-employed. Small start-ups hiring H1-Bs are very unlikely because it is a long and expensive process, unless you have a background that is truly unique and valuable. Think about the research you hav

And, ironically, that's exactly what the American people did with the patriot act and 8 years of Bush.

Funny how no one used to complain when it was the rich countries who dictated the rules of the game (via the IMF).

I lived in Mountain View (California -- where Google is located) and I had to call the police twice because I heard gun shots over the creek behind my apt complex. In China I go to the ATM at 2am and it's totally safe.

Really, you complain about China because a Bud is 45 kuai?!?! Of course anything foreign is more expensive than the west. You realize you are in the other side of the world, right? About the CCP making a mint off the US: Keep in mind that i

People can enjoy clean water and clean air in the US because all the crap we consume is outsourced to China.

First, let me say that I really like your design. Having said that, when I read "badass developer and designer" and then when I see your design, the first thing that comes to my mind is: "He/she must be really expensive". People here most l

Twitter cannot afford to be just profitable. The amount of money already invested on Twitter requires it to be out-of-the-charts wildly profitable. That's the key issue.

The author is comparing a disruptive innovator (Netscape) with incremental features (Yelp and Twitter). Netscape truly changed the world by making the Internet accessible to millions of new users, while Yelp created a Bay Area and NY centri

I found Lingt very similar (in concept) to Anki, which has an iPhone client. I do not have an iPhone, so I can't tell how good it is, but Anki (desktop) is fantastic. I am currently learning Mandarin, and Anki is my primary resource for voc

I find it amusing that the IMF and economists for decades pushed emerging countries to "pay the interest on their debt, or else..." in order to keep rich countries growing, but now that the tables are turned they want the emerging countries

I believe the class struggle that you are suggesting is not so clear-cut here in China. Most Chinese I know work in the city and have their parents in the country-side. So, the "middle-class" that we normally talk about is the sons and daug

Excellent article. The author does a great job highlighting the parallels between the Psytar and the rebellious early stages of Apple. I find this Shanzhai phenomenon fascinating. These are the true hackers of today. http://www.bunniestudi

Eckart Wintzen is my hero since I worked at his company, Origin, back in the 90s. He actually implemented that concept at Origin: We had to track and estimate the footprint of each project, and then the amount was reinvested in environmenta

I agree with mr_eel. Your message is good but it would have been much more effective if you have used a less condescending tone. Good web developers DO VALUE the importance of marketing and sales. I think we have a lot to learn from you, bu

Right, but how can one decide whether or not a connection is worth before actually meeting the person? Unless he has a crystal ball, he could be losing investment opportunities with this kind of attitude. And it is not his money. He is be
