China would have a lot more room to move were the Hong Kong protests were not going on. The big problem they face is putting down the protests violently could lead towards pronouncements of them violating the agreement for it being held ove

I live out in the middle of nowhere. 10 miles away from a post office, 15 miles from the nearest town with a high school, and 20 miles in a different direction from a city with any major retail outlets. And right now they're laying fib

"Why is this controversial?" Because disinviting is stupid and getting way too common now. This is like the 5th case of this I've seen within the past year. If they is going to be a heckler's veto then get the heckler&#x

Thing is, would you trust an appstore infrastructure based in China? If they had a more trustworthy 3rd party country like South Korea then they'd have a better shot. I kind of wish they'd embrace something like Firefox OS.
