HP Acquires 3Com for $2.7 Billion, Brings Fight to Cisco

Addy Dugdale — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:14:58 -0500

The news that Hewlett Packard has just slapped down $2.7 billion to acquire 3Com looks like a move that will be good for the two firms. Both companies' respective products will dovetail nicely to turn HP into what could easily be described as an IT polymath--pretty damn good at everything.

Is There Such Thing as Internet Addiction?

Chris Dannen — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:19:45 -0500

China has banned the use of physical punishment to cure Internet addicts, according to a report in CIO, a publication of the International Data Group. But was there ever such a thing as Internet addiction in the first place?

Steve McCallion — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:11:58 -0500

As I mentioned in previous posts, the Portland Art Museum brought China Design Now, the London Victoria & Albert exhibit, to Portland to attract a new audience and elevate Portland's cultural discourse to a global level. The exhibition documents China's impressive advancement in graphics, fashion and design over the last 20 years.

Chinese iPhone Looks Poised to Fail

Chris Dannen — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:09:55 -0500

At Apple's all-night iPhone launch party in Beijing, there were none of the day-long lines seen in New York, London, or Paris. According to the Financial Times, the Chinese iteration of the iPhone, which went on sale on October 30, has stirred the interest of only 11.7 of Chinese cell phone users, according to one survey.

Is China the Next U.S. Renewable Energy Superhero?

Ariel Schwartz — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:19:02 -0400

Oh, the irony. All-American oilman T. Boone Pickens scraps his plans for the world's biggest wind farm--a $10 billion project in Texas--and who comes in to pick up the pieces? China. The communist country is honing in on the Texas wind industry with a $1.5-billion, 36,000-acre project in West Texas. It's not quite Pickens-scale, but it is the biggest Chinese investment in U.S. renewable energy to date.

Party is over for the U.S. when Beijing says it is!-Robin Trehan

Robin Trehan — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:25:27 -0400

It’s hard for many
individuals to believe that a leading country like the U.S. could be dependent
on China. If you’ve been following closely with the doings and spendings of the
United States, you’ll see how this has come to take place. First off, America
has a very bad spending habit. We are in debt so high that not many people see
how we can get out of it. The United States is debt spending and a lot of
important holders of Treasuries are in control of whether the U.S. will be

Infographic of the Day: China's Social Media Map

Noah Robischon — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:13:28 -0400

The major players in the U.S. social media world can be counted on one hand: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn. Not so in China, where the country's 300 million online users have a panoply of popular social networks to choose from--and Facebook doesn't even crack the top 10.

Carbon Poker

Terry Tamminen — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:18:21 -0400

I had a dream about watching one of those high stakes poker games that you see on TV these days. There were bit players who you knew, from the few colored chips in front of them, would soon fold - - but the two “whales” at the table were Barack Obama and Hu Jintao. They each had so many chips on the table that you could barely see their cowboy shirts, but the purpose in their deadly stares could not be obscured, even by the dark black Ray Bans that shaded their eyes.

Li Ning and Ziba Design Want to Build China’s First Truly Global Brand

Aric Chen — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:00:00 -0400

You may think you've never heard of Li Ning. But assuming you were one of the 4 billion or so people watching the opening ceremony of last year's Beijing Olympics, you've seen him. Remember the guy who lit the Olympic flame? The one who, as if by some superhuman power, levitated more than 100 feet and ran that mesmerizing aerial lap around the Bird's Nest stadium before setting the Olympic cauldron ablaze? That was Li Ning. And if he has his way, you won't be forgetting him again.

China’s Rear View Mirror

Terry Tamminen — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:37:12 -0400

Even as China overtakes the US in the dubious category of “world’s leading greenhouse gas producer” it is also taking the lead in developing the technologies and policies to solve the problem well ahead of the US - - and sell those solutions to us at massive profits which could have been ours.

Beijing Schools Remove Controversial Green Dam Software, China Says Nothing

Clay Dillow — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:55:45 -0400

U.S. computer makers and free speech advocates won a hefty victory over China's ruling party last month when the People's Republic backed down on a mandate that all computers in that country come packaged with a state-approved Web filtering software known as Green Dam. Now, schools in Beijing are quietly winning their own battle against information control, removing the Green Dam filter from school computers.

China's Sinovac Is Exporting H1N1 Vaccine, but Who Will Vaccinate the Chinese?

Could China's Proposed Ban on Rare Earth Metals Stop Global Tech Development?

Clay Dillow — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:03:46 -0400

So much for free trade. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is weighing a total ban on exports of rare earth metals, naturally occurring materials that are necessary for the production of next-gen batteries, hybrid cars, smartphones, and precision weapons technologies. Unfortunately for the rest of us, China mines 95% of the world's rare earth metals, mostly in Inner Mongolia, making the specter of an outright ban downright frightening.

Is OMA's Chinese Masterpiece Pornographic?

Cliff Kuang — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:28:53 -0400

In the battle to win the hearts of the Chinese, the new headquarters of CCTV might be losing. Designed by Rem Koolhaas's firm, OMA, it's been billed as a masterpiece and a symbol of China's emergence atop a new world order. But some Chinese are whispering that it's a grand joke perpetrated by Koolhaas at the expense of 1.3 billion people--alleging that the building and it's annex were intended to look like a woman bent over, next to a penis.

Dell's launching a smartphone! It's Android-powered! It's going to be called the Mini3i! And it'll be hitting the streets soon! Only one hitch here: You'll need to be in China to get it. There can only be one reason for this. It's Apple's iPhone, soon to be China-bound itself.

Nokia Lifts the Veil on Its China Testing Site, but Why Now?

Kit Eaton — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:41:11 -0400

Nokia may be the world's biggest cell-phone maker, but it generally keeps its operations seriously under wraps. That's why the company's recent decision to open up its Beijing test center to select visitors is a deft public relations move at a time when one of its biggest competitors, Apple, is being scrutinized for its operations in China.
