Submission + - Fake Brick & Mortar Apple in China (cultofmac.com)

grub writes: ""We’ve all seen those copycat iPhones that come out of China, the majority of which can usually be identified as counterfeit within a few seconds. However, when it comes to faking Apple stores, China does a pretty damn good job.

Apple only has a handful of retail stores in China, so one savvy businessman has decided to build his own. However, he didn’t go down the Apple authorised reseller route as you’d expect — he literally ripped off Apple’s own stores."

Reminiscent of when they faked an entire company."

Censorship

Submission + - DMCA case against Google, et al dropped.

grub writes: "The controversial group known as The Landmark Forum has dropped its DMCA case against Google. The cult was trying to find out the identity of a critic who posted hidden camera footage of their indoctrination weekend on Google, YouTube, Internet Archive and others.
Landmark Education, known for its Landmark Forum motivational workshops, served a subpoena for the identity of an anonymous user of Google Video last month, claiming that a French documentary posted by the user infringed Landmark's copyrights. The piece, entitled "Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous" (Voyage to the Land of the New Gurus), is highly critical of Landmark and included hidden camera footage from inside a French Landmark Forum event along with panel discussions about the group. The piece had also been posted with English subtitles on popular U.S. video sites YouTube and the Internet Archive.
