Agreed I don't think anyone company dealing with China with their oppressive and corrupt regime can really do business there without getting dirty and a boycott on China commercially though enticing would just hurt both of our economies.
We really should wonder with what the US government is supposed to stand for, why China is still on our countries perfered importers list.
Just makes me feel as an (Chinese)American that i'm living in a state of hypocracy.
You sound like a lawyer. Do you work for the MPAA, RIAA, Microsoft or something? j/k....Maybe...
The problem is that more people are worried about whats in their wallet more than whats in anybody elses wallet. If I can make my life a little easier by making other peoples lives a lot harder so be it. Lets all turn a blind eye!
To me that doesn't sound too responsible it just sounds selfish or greedy?
Unfortunately to many companies take profit over morality. Wish more people acted like Costco... Or have I spoke too soon? You never can tell now a days...
Err? No...Any country that can treat it's own citizens inhumanly is bad.It's not something that should be taken away using the the black/grey/white scale.
Be it the US with GTMO, Saudia Arabia and most of the middle east, and their extreme take on the Law of Moses, China, and North Korea with their extreme stance on government criticism and censorship or The republic of Congo with their basic lack of common sense over corruption.
There is no such thing as sort of inhumane, or to allow some social injustice.
You just set a precedence of tolerance to these acts.
Just because the US and China are sorta bad doesn't make it OK.
Lets just hope the true enemy of China finally defeats them! Hollywood aka. MPAA/RIAA! j/k..
This government is just as bad at kow-towing to China. If they want to make a change do a technology embargo on China.
They talk about how tech companies are bad by obeying laws that would allow US companies to operate in China yet totally drop the ball on human rights issues and let hundreds of thousands of chinese employees in sweat shops create cheap manufactured products and allow other US companies to sell these items to the US consumers to gobble up. I don't hear them scolding Disney lately for their inhuman practices of allowing these factories to operate and get rich off of the backs of poor chinese citizens?
I don't agree with what went on but this just smacks to me of a case of the dime late and the dollar short syndrome. These companies are just the product of a bigger problem. The US not doing anything but complain to other US companies instead of the Chinese government itself.
Government officals should not wield the sword of Democracy with one hand and cover their eyes with cheap Yuen with the other.
Who really cares?
It's all the same. We are gluttons for keeping up with the Jone's of the world. Why do you think gas prices and SUV sales are still going up? Because it's good for us? Get a clue or buy a vowel. Whatever you need to get you through the day but don't fool yourself.
As soon as 50 cent, and who knows how many Hollywood types get their grubby diamond encrusted hands on it we will all be right behind them in line to get our own.
Stop kidding yourself. If the popular people say that its the biggest and the baddest on the block price won't be an option. regardless of what some dumb rag says about it. Some market (anal)ysts have also considered the X-Box 360 was priced to low anyway.
It's all whether you are gonna be the one in line at 6am in the morning in his sleeping bag the night before the release date, the guy with the pre-order hoping and praying there will be enough systems for his order to go through or the other thousands bidding 3 times the retail price for systems on E-Bay. But it will sell.
Me? I'll be the one watching the madness as every news service reports about the thousands of un-ruley fans trompling over each other to get their hands on one. Why because I made a deal with my wife that when the baby came (the ultimate VR game) I'd get rid of the games. (thought I got away with the PSP. I dunno how that happened?)
Maybe once the boy gets bigger I'll get a X-Box 720 or a PS4 but this time out I'm sitting this one out.
Flame away!

I guess they got wind that Skype was partnering up with Dell and wanted some of that greenback action.
Hmm? wonder how fast these journalists will unitely drop this when another Michael Jackson or OJ Simpson trial comes up?
Ah Journalists always looking towards the future, without doing anything except complain about the present.

This person is just a publicity hog. Ignoring him would be the meanest thing you could do to him.
