I never used an iPhone 5s but I would agree with the importance of execution. Lenovo has been shipping ThinkPads with fingerprint scanners for like what? Almost a decade? (ThinkPad T43 had fingerprint scanner, it was released in 2005) Those

I want this with a MS Surface design. I don't mind paying 200 dollars more. It would then match the iPad in terms design and surpass it in practicality.

I think you mean Beijing accent. By Chinese standards if one speaks Mandarin with an accent as heavy as Scottish accent is to English, she is deemed to speak Madarin not well enough.

HTC and Sumsung are almost irrelevant in the Windows Phone ecosystem anyway. They obviously made little effort and aren't likely to make more, with or without the acquisition.

Because most people in Europe and North America have to wake up first? ;)

I think Nokia phones are more "sturdy", exemplified by its cheap phones that just won't break. Apple is more meticulous I'd say. I have a Lumia 920. There are just tiny little seams and creaks that one wouldn't find

It looks Nokia is in the vantage position now. Nokia can afford walking away from Windows Phone. But Microsoft can't. Nokia accounts for roughly 80%* of all Windows Phones. If Nokia leaves, WP is basically doomed. * http://bl

Same here in China. I grew up learning English using mostly British textbooks and sth is introduced to us quite early, pretty much like xyz in algebra. I'm actually quite surprised to find out it's perhaps not that common in the US.

My guess is that if you're a businessman travelling around to do presentations at different places all the time, you probably need maximum compatibility. Sort of a differentiating factor. It also has a LAN port, of which one might ask the s

There should be a tomb for Google.cn They abandoned probably more than 100 million users when they shut it down. Google should grow up and learn to deal with complexities of the real world and do some real good instead of sticking to some

As a Windows Phone user in China, the feeling is very familiar. Bravo, Google, you've certainly learned a few tricks from the bloody Communists.

Actually this happened way before Microsoft bought Skype. For Hotmail one used to only need change the country setting in his profile to make sure his data is out of Chinese jurisdiction. Quite handy, not sure how it works now though.

Quite true. With censorship we used to have 99% of Google, now without censorship we have 0%. Not saying that 1% isn't important, but it wouldn't outweigh the rest.

It's understandable given that all foreign companies face the same regulations . But what annoyed me for years was that Skype made it very government-friendly: 1) The redirects are made quite thoroughly. Even if you type something like us.s

They actually sold more iPhone 5 than the two previous models. It's a new record for first weekend sales in China. There weren't lines because Apple managed to make enough iPhones and by letting other retailers and carriers sell, whereas w

That's exactly what went wrong with ancient China. Instead of choosing who's most capable of studying, they used it on those who can afford education in the first place to become petty bureaucrats.

Probably yes. Once the doctors realise that they can make extra money by simply doing what they are supposed to do, they would stop performing their duties without extra tip. Who would tip if doctors do their best anyway? Since not everybod

Yes you do. When I first studied US history in the UK, I was surprised to learn that a massacre can involve as few as five people. (Boston Massacre) In Chinese, massacre is translated as "tusha", and is most frequently used with Nanking, wh
