Yes, I am in Shanghai, China. No, you are not looking for me. No, I don't have bread for sale. Neither do I make Baguettes. No, I am not a bakery. You confuse me with this Paul.

But since you are here, you probably want to know this:

Out of control: The Tibet issue

This is a trackback to Jinyu's blog post. Basically, all people need to calm down, sit back, and think what they are doing. A lot of manipulation is going on, in Tibet, in the West and in China. No exceptions. This should be a lesson for everybody to be careful with what the media is feeding us and be critical with any piece of information we see, hear or read instead of just accepting it as the only truth.

History repeating itself

Manufacture
"Footwear Manufacturing, Dongguan, China" by clayirving

I stumbled upon an mildly ironic article about China losing jobs to cheaper countries:

Rising costs squeeze Chinese
[...] Costs in China are climbing nationwide, but the greatest pain is being felt in the south, where about 14,000 Hong Kong-run factories could close in the next few months, said Polly Ko of the Economic and Trade Office in Guangdong, which neighbors Hong Kong.

History just keeps repeating itself.

iPhones in China

400k Mobiles are on the China Mobile network and by the frequency one can spot these things in the wild (metro, bus, elevators, ...) that number may be very true. Yet Apple continues bricking the phones with every upgrade. Get a clue. One thing left to say is that 400k is a huge number for a quasi worthless brick for it's users, the iPhone has no Chinese input and needs to be "jail-broken" first so you can install 3rd party hacks to get chinese input working. That's a first: millions of customers want to get rid of their US$550-600 and that company does not want their money.
