Even many Chinese are exasperated by the avalanche of fake goods. It's not just iPhones and hangbags. It's fake milk, fake eggs, fake meat, recycled cooking oil from the street. Almost everything can be adulterated and it is, and even brand name and big chains are being subverted to the point where even the rich aren't sure what they are getting. This means the ruling party is getting affected by this too so something is going to be done.

Whether it is effective or not remains to be seen.

Comment Re:and what about xerox's stuff? (Score 1) 988

Apple licensed the GUI concepts from Xerox for cash and shares. Wasn't Apple's fault the Xerox management were morons.

Jobs is mad at Android because Schmidt sat on Apple's board; obviously Jobs felt that Schmidt operated in bad faith and could have heard many secrets and strategies regarding the iPhone and iOS before Schmidt revealed Google's intentions to go head to head against Apple.

The people you hate the most are the ones who betray you. That is the Steve must have felt regarding Schmidt and Android. Not saying it's right or wrong but that's my take on this.

So the person who's trying to break up physical violence is the asshole? Then you'd conspire to lie about it in order for the intervening party to face charges? Way to be narcissistic. Let me guess, you'd see some guy raping a girl in the back alley and you'd keep walking because you'd be interfering.

Why the USB cheerleading? 10 Billion installations is plain wrong, and Sony's implementation is an early implementation of Thunderbolt with optical signalling over a USB like connector on the computer itself.

Either Sony jumped the gun before the connector was fully ratified or else Apple managed to pull the rug out from under Sony when the Thunderbolt committee decided to use a modified mini Displayport connector.

Talk to employees at your potential new place of employment first.

You might get offered more but you might be the first cut as well. £7k more is a huge amount but it won't help you if you're unemployed because the shop is one of those hire/fire cycling places. Unless you're the type of person who can find a job within a weekend based on your skillset and persona.

The only reason they don't like iTunes is because it busted up their cartel. Period.

Given the choice between piracy (no income) and losing control (to Apple) they'd rather pick piracy. That is how bereft of thought these guys are, that there is no choice for them but to pick one or the other. No wonder Steve came in and took their lunch money.
