Notes

Recently, I paid $12 at Mingtong Digital Mall for a complete phone, featuring quad-band GSM, Bluetooth, MP3 playback, and an OLED display plus keypad for the UI. Simple, but functional; nothing compared to a smartphone, but useful if you’re going out and worried about getting your primary phone wet or stolen.

Notes

Today, an American electronics company can only be exempt from China’s rare earth export quotas by manufacturing within China. So that’s what most companies, including Apple, are doing. The only other solution is for us to stop consuming so much—an option that people rarely find appealing. Not as appealing as a retina display, at least.

But it now appears that the company is willing to mend its Mainland relations, more than a year after rerouting its search operations through Hong Kong. Speaking to reporters in Taipei today, chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt acknowledged that Google’s relationship with the Chinese regime remains “mixed,” adding that the “the Chinese government is unhappy with our unwillingness to support censorship.” He sounded notably more optimistic, however, when discussing Big G’s Chinese outlook. Schmidt, who was wrapping up a three-day tour across Asia, said he was “very happy” with Android’s growth within the country, explaining that Google still enjoys “a growing and profitable business in China.” The chairman went on to say that even though his company has faced institutional hurdles in the past, it simply “wanted to serve China’s citizens within the limits the government allowed.” Of course, this isn’t the first time that Google has struck a conciliatory tone with the People’s Republic, though it remains to be seen whether or not it results in any substantive change.", "image": "https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/NqfoTVD5BFFF4UMaDk3NyQ--~B/aD0zMjk7dz01ODQ7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/11/google-china.jpg", "logo": "https://s.yimg.com/kw/assets/favicon-160x160.png", "publisher": "Engadget", "title": "Eric Schmidt: Google still has ‘growing and profitable business in China’", "url": "https://www.engadget.com/2011-11-09-eric-schmidt-google-still-has-growing-and-profitable-business.html", "feed": "http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml", "lang": "en", "failed": true, "failedAt": 1728195049849, "failedError": "TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 10000 milliseconds", "expires": 1728365015604, "status": 200, "bodyLength": 233401, "duration": 4495 }

"Games organizers confirm that Lin Miaoke, who performed "Ode to the Motherland" as China's flag was paraded Friday into Beijing's National Stadium, was not singing at all. ... Lin was lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, who was heard but not seen, apparently because she was deemed not cute enough. ... "The reason was for the national interest," said Chen Qigang, the ceremony's musical director, in a state radio interview. "The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression. ... Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects.""
