Whenever I see a new Sony product, I never think, “Damn, that’s going to be hot!” I think, “Damn, that’s going to be expensive.” – Miike on engadget
例如本人，是在FE38CP出售之后才买FE28CP的……

“X0后”的本质是代沟
It’s hard to say what’s more shocking — that the words of a 15-year-old Morgan Stanley intern lit London’s financial world on fire, or that no one before thought to ask teenagers what they think (and actually listen).

A true show-stopper of Tencent’s international expansion
Depends on how the word “showstopper” is being perceived here, you might find the following quotes, lifted directly from Tencent QQ’s software license agreement, a tad too funny or scary, even for the least paranoid western users.
Important Notice:
…the User should read carefully every article of this Agreement, including articles exempting or limiting the liability of Tencent and those restricting the rights of the User…
…
5 Other articles
…
5.2 Laws and regulations of People’s Republic of China are the governing law for the interpretation of, validity of and settlement of disputes arising from this Agreement. When any dispute or controversy arises between Tencent and the User, the two parties shall resolve the same through friendly negotiation; if the negotiation fails, the User hereby agrees that the dispute or controversy shall be resolved in the court located in the jurisdiction where Tencent resides.
…
5.4 The English version of this Agreement is for reference only. In the event of any discrepancies or inconsistencies between the English and Chinese versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.
But think about all the video-chatting with random chinese models, made possible only by Tencent! (since they pretty much eliminate all third-party clients)
少数派报告：眼不见为净
翻译：店长
前言：
翻译这篇文章的理由还真不少，最近的记忆是《辐射3》（Fallout 3）日文版去除The Power of the Atom任务的新闻（该任务允许玩家点爆Megaton城中央的那颗核弹）；联系上最近韩国媒体到议会对ヘタリア（APH）动画版的劳师动众，也还真是时候给这个说不尽的二战后遗症来个恰当的评论了。本周我选择了这篇来自美国籍犹太血统的以色列作者的评论，跳出发生在巴勒斯坦的人道灾难，尝试在游戏中找到一点理智。
Read for Pleasure 精简版
已经决定本周的话题将集中在新番吐槽上，所以英文阅读时间就要给新番让道了。本周的好文阅读不少（有些我自己都要再读），为免收藏夹又发福，还是先导出来吧（在用过无数种网络收藏服务之后，我只有一个结论：当我想找一篇文章时，它必须在0.5秒内到达边侧栏中，否则我会选择搜索引擎；以现在网络速度，和Ctrl-B相比，哪个站都太慢了。）

Worldwide Craziness, & oh I will be away for serious researching
RT，看来圣诞出游也算是潮流之一，所以店长我准备追逐一下时尚，没错，我打算南下考察下一间客栈的分店该设在哪里……去一个没有冬天的地方好好反思身为全国12%网瘾青少年的过错……
Alright let’s get back into business, now that I am finally settled down with my new theme Anime Connection, it’s time to introduce some neat hacks into this blog. Off the top of my head: “spoiler button”, or in my case, “pr0n warning tag”
I know it’s not exactly preferable in RSS term as this trick involved javascript. Neither readers are going to be spoiled by me or they live unconsciously forever. Such a cruel world for an anime lover isn’t it ?
Anyway, if you have been subscribing through RSS, now is a good time to pay a visit to my new site.
无论如何，让我们继续本周的话题——疯狂：
话说团长大人在2D御宅世界掀起风波似乎还意犹未尽，趁着在3D世界和同人世界被无数次推倒的间隙又咸鱼翻身，这次的进攻对象是北美出版业和动漫爱好者的钱包。通过类似fans网站的方式做提前宣传的确是有趣和有效的推广模式，可惜它只让我想起前一阵子Sony的恶毒宣传方式。最后我们还得用销售成绩来分胜负。倒是YouTube上那4000影片应该有一半要撤下来吧，尤其是那些承诺北美一授权就撤动画的字幕组。
Speaking of Haruhi Video, I don’t know if readers in the US have already checkout this site, quite amazing God Knows performance, I would say it’s no less fun than those crappy right-off-the-street Hahiru AV, and most important, their appearance is much more to like.
