A whole lot easier that is, for people who can't read Chinese (It was always pretty easy for those who can!). Lyn Jeffery of Virtual China points out that TV-links.co.uk, a site which has never hosted pirated media but instead just points people toward it, has started linking to content hosted on Chinese video Web sites.

Why is this a big deal? Well, let me tell ya why. Read more »

Man, I miss playing these old games... Shinobi was always my favorite. But Contra was a great one as well. I always loved the different guns, or types of shooting patterns that you could get in this game. Whether it was the Spread or Lazer gun, this was never a game where you'd need to save your bullets.

As a followup to my post about the World Economic Forum here in Dalian China, and to my recent mini-rant where I might have called some people vegetables (sorry, guys, but if you had invited me, none of this woulda happened), I thought I'd get in a last few words on this topic.
