A lot of Chinese people have internet connections. How many of these 5.5bn other people have internet connections. There is Europe - 0.5bn, USA - 0.3bn, and a few other countries that aren't particularly big such as Canada (0.03bn), Australia (0.02bn), and I suppose Nigeria (0.15bn). In the case of Nigera, the number of internet users isn't necessarily that high. It just seems like it.
In England, the Law Society rules require solicitors to wait for the cheque to clear before they send payments out. I would be surprised if the rules weren't similar in the US.
It's not going to happen though. The government can't even get their payroll taxes computer to talk to their income tax computer, so we will each have our own personal flying pig before this will happen.
Sky News did an undercover investigation of computer repairers in England, and found that all but one of them browsed through the photo collection, and some of them even tried to log in with the fake Natwest Bank login details left on a word file on the disk.
With Home Premium, you will still need to use VMWare or another 3rd party program for your virtualisation requirements. The full version of Virtual PC might work, but XP mode won't. The main difference I suppose is that the other programs don't ship with a copy of Windows XP, whereas XP Mode for Windows 7 Pro and above does. Also, I don't think you get the seamless mode, you have to run XP within the program window, or access it remotely using RDP or VNC.
The reason cars drop in value so quickly after you drive them off the forecourt is because if you sell it after a month, it is usually because there is something wrong with it and that's why people would rather pay more for the brand new car than the much cheaper one month old car.
Depends which Philips model you get. My experience is with their 230V EU ranges, so it won't be directly applicible in the US.
Their Tornado range (£2.95 in John Lewis, or just under £5 in Robert Dyas or Homebase) are very good. They get to full brightness almost immediately, and I have no problems with interference or anything like that.
Their Genie range (sent out free from your electricity company, or £1 for a ten pack in Poundland or a similar pound shop) are rubbish. They take about 5 minutes to reach full brigtness, and for the first 30 seconds or so, you wonder if they actually work at all.
The ban hasn't been fully implemented yet, and if you want incandescents, there are still shops that sell them. The 150W and higher incandescents have pretty much completely vanished, and the 100W bulbs are getting rare, but you can still find 60W and lower bulbs which is what most people use.
Also, halogen bulbs haven't been banned, and they are getting more popular.
Not really. We will be cheering on Algeria, Slovenia and USA in the world cup in June, and if that fails, we will have some more countries to cheer on. In the case of the USA, it wouldn't surpise me if there are more Scottish fans cheering on the team than natives.
Well, imagine if Yahoo or Bing were to vanish from the market. What would we do? Move to Google or some other search engine. Google is No. 2 in China, so if they went, everyone would go to the more popular Baidu, or to some other search engine.
The point is not big profits now, though it certainly pays its way, the point is that if China's economy develops to the same level as for example South Korea, which is perfectly conceivable, then you have an economy that is 2 - 3 times bigger than the US, and you have established your market share in it.
Google isn't that big in China. Baidu, a Chinese company is the market leader, and I think a lot of people there would rather see a home grown company.

Yes, but the Basic Law in Hong Kong means the democratically elected Hong Kong government has the final say in these sorts of matters.
Don't forget that Netscape 4 wasn't much better.

In British English, it is called a Bank Draft or a Building Society Cheque.

If the technician is cross-examined in court as a witness, that is evidence. It is up to the judge to decide how credible he is as a witness.
I ran it on a 1.2GB hard drive when it first came out.

Halogen bulbs are the most obvious answer
No way will a 1.5W LED replace a 50W halogen. 12W to 15W would be closer to the mark.

The coding / assembly is so different that it doesn't translate, and they only do certain kinds of processing well.
No, the US jury found him not guilty.
That's in Sweden which is the country next door to Norway.
Yes, but a health tourist from the US wouldn't be able to get a free one on the NHS.
My very unscientific research suggests that hearing aids cost around £3,000 (approx $4,500) in Britain.

In Europe, Hungary may be cheaper. A lot of health tourists go there.
