This is Why I Have a 16 Char iTunes PW
Dec 10th
Freemium games are free downloadable games that, if you want more fun and more action, you purchase power ups. Just like anything Zynga makes. And if you are one of those nimrods who purchased something to make your Farmville farm grow better or make your cows happier? Shame on you. Watch these kids in the video below max out their Dad’s credit card with glee playing TapFish.

Chinese Kid Sells a Kidney for an iPad2
Jun 2nd
And I bet he didn’t even get the one with the 3G built in. And he also managed to get a laptop out of the deal, but who needs two kidneys anyways? Not this guy.
From the GlobalTimes here:
A teenager in Huaishan, Anhui Province has sold one of his kidneys to buy an iPad2 tablet computer.
The 17-year-old man surnamed Zheng, a freshman in high school, got connected with a kidney-selling agent through the internet, who pledged to pay him 20,000 yuan ($3,084.45 ) for one of his kidneys. On April 28 of this year, Zheng went to Chenzhou, Hunan Province to have his kidney removed under the supervision of three so-called middlemen, and received 22,000 yuan ($3,392.97). Then he returned home with a laptop and an iPad2.
Zheng’s mother discovered her son’s new electronic products and forced him to reveal how he came to afford them. Then she took Zheng to Chenzhou and reported the matter to local police. The three agents’ telephones have not been answered since that time.
Ah! Young commies trying to become evil capitalist consumers no matter the cost! That brings a tear to my eye. Steve Jobs below describes how many feet of Chinese human intestine it would take to get an Apple TV.

Jul 20th
The Chinese firm Lenovo, best known for making clunky laptops for IBM, has introduced a tablet mobile computer based on the Android mobile computing platform in a direct attempt to compete with Apple’s iPad. Not sure how well it will do, but if the “LeCar” is any indication, it does not bode well.
From ComputerworldUK here:
The device will be called the ‘LePad’ and will use the Android mobile operating system.
The product’s development comes as Lenovo’s chairman said earlier this month that Apple CEO Steve Job hasn’t been focused on the Chinese market. “If Apple were to spend the same effort on the Chinese consumer as we do, (Lenovo) would be in trouble,” Liu Chuanzhi told the Financial Times.
This year, Lenovo began selling its own smart phone called ‘LePhone’. The company has said in the past Lenovo’s strategy is to “win” in China before Lenovo begins selling the phone abroad. Lenovo also believes the mobile internet hardware and services could become 10 to 20 percent of the company’s business over these next five years.
Whether or not this will be successful will remain to be seen. But I can say that there is still lots of techno-xenophobia in government agencies when it comes to adopting any computing platform made in China. Many government agencies refuse to allow Lenovo laptops on their networks. They can’t say WHY they aren’t allowed other than it is made in China. Somehow, that is an unacceptable risk, despite the fact that the systems can be monitored and proven safe.
