Comment Time to start learning Chinese... (Score 1) 1

My son in college was just telling me he would like to sign up for the Chinese lessons. About 10-12 years ago, I read an article that highlighted one specific difference between China and the US: if you want to do business with the US, you must speak English... but if you need to do business with China, they'll assign you one of their business officers who is fluent in your language. That business attitude is deeply ingrained in their culture too -- I've seen restaurants in a few states where the staff speaks Spanish because their clientele is mainly composed of Hispanics/Latinos.

i downloaded a game that requested GPS and network info -- the dev's website stated that it was used by the ads to target audiences. In such case, it'd be great to turn off those features for that specific app. Now, if a PAID app asks for such things, then you should definitely question their motives.
