Re: Regarding Amazon’s Kindle Fire…

Here, I think one of the biggest problems is that Amazon uses barely the framework of android, and drop the online content of market that Google originally bond with android.

It's actually the exact same strategy that Microsoft used for its security in the late 90s (Before they got completely owned and eventually did a 180 on their security practices). Google is at least honest with its security handling, though they are ...

Re: What if Apple launched a TV?

Rahul Bijor — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 21:26:07 -0000

I definitely agree. My team actually presented something very similar to this at the Apple Technology Challenge in December. One of the main concepts we keyed in on was to give that integrated TV experience, but not overcrowd the TV itself, which is already too packed with tickers and sidebars from the broadcast itself. Instead, we wanted to have the signal synced with the iPad and have an overlay where the viewer can get more interactivity (e.g., purchase a song playing on a show, buy a clothing item of a character, etc.). It is similar to what this design firm is describing: http://www.designbynotion.com/...

Pretty comprehensive article ! You might want to precise that revenue split of professional team is something close to 10% in prize and 90% in sponsorship.

You made a good job at pointing what are the barriers to make e-sport a big thing. What would be interesting to analyze (as an MBA) is how they might be overcome !

另一个学历门欺诈翻译件

唐峻学历门丑闻另一案例：　霍克国际（亚洲太平洋）中国业务发展总监李晓溪（ HOK，BEIJING）伪造学历背景与工作经历

美国霍克国际建筑设计公司（HOK）是一家致力于提供规划、设计和交付方案的全球建筑公司。自1955年成立以来，霍克已发展成为世界最大、最为成功的设计公司，美国霍克设计公司（HOK）在全球拥有23家分公司，超过2000. 人的建筑设计师团队，其足迹几乎遍及各大洲。流览美国霍克设计公司（HOK）的网站，您将看到许多由霍克集团设计师团队为客户设计、创作的优雅作品图片。然而不幸的是，在霍克公司至少有一名员工，其创作能力不是擅长于建筑、室内设计、规划，而是伪造工作经历和学历背景。
微软中国区前任总裁唐峻，似乎完美地展现了一个有全球眼光的成功中国商人的形象。无独有偶，　霍克国际（亚洲太平洋）中国业务发展总监李晓溪，自2005年就职于霍克公司以来大大美化自己的学历背景，霍克公司人事、法律部门和总裁对李晓溪伪造学历这一事实似乎满不在乎，但尽管如此，唐峻学历欺诈案件公布于众后，已在全国引发了关于中国社会的诚信地位问题的讨论。
七月初，揭露学术造假而闻名的方舟子在其微博上披露前微软中国区总裁唐骏从未像他在其自传的早期版本以及各种场合说的那样获得过加州理工学院的博士学位。并披露授予唐峻电子工程博士学位的西太平洋大学实际上是一个学生可以购买学历的“文凭工厂”。
然而，与唐峻文凭欺诈丑闻有所不同的是，至少唐峻本人获得了真实的硕士学位，而此文章中所提及的主人公，　霍克国际（亚洲太平洋）中国业务发展总监李晓溪女士（cecilia lee）却没有毕业于任何她所声称的大学院校，当然也不可能获得她所声称的经济专业、金融专业、建筑专业或是法律专业的学历证书。李晓西声称她毕业于美国两所著名大学并获得了两个硕士学位，一所是雷鸟商学院（全球第一家也是资格最老的一家专功于国际管理和全球商务的研究学院），另外一所大学是亚利桑那州立大学。
李晓溪：中国学者的女儿实施学历欺诈
Cecilia Lee ，中文名字李晓溪，1969年出生于中国北部，两次离异。据李晓溪声称，他出生于书香世家，其父亲李根成是北方交通大学土木建筑工程学院教授，母亲程桂华是北方交通大学建筑系教授。
另外，李晓溪还声称自己毕业于上海同济大学并获得道路工程系学士学位，然而，李晓溪所递交雷鸟商学院的本科学历证书却是北京外国语学院本科学历证书。
在过去五年半，李晓溪通过所伪造的文凭学历背景和工作经历获得众多赞誉。其中，包括李晓溪代表美国霍克设计公司（HOK），以成功女性高级白领身份在“商界女性” 及其他论坛中作为演讲嘉宾，进一步宣扬她所伪造的学历背景和工作经历。
李晓溪学历欺诈一览
在回复关于调查李晓溪学历背景的法院传票中，雷鸣商学院于2008年7月10日所出具的学院证明清楚证明李晓溪在此学院只是参加了15门研究生预科课程学习，根本谈不上获得了硕士学位之说。
尽而，对李晓溪所声称的另外一所大学-亚利桑那州立大学进行其学历调查，在亚利桑那州立大学2008年7月11日所出具的学校证明中清楚地证明了李晓溪只是参加了3门硕士学位预科学习课程。

Cecilia Lee the Marketing Director of HOK Operation in China Just Like Bernie Madoff and Tang Jun Falsified her Credits and Work History

Beijing, China August 2, 2010 – HOK is the global architectural firm that specializes in planning, design and delivery solutions for buildings and communities. Since the firm’s founding in 1955, HOK has developed into one of the world’s largest, most diverse and respected design practices. HOK employs more than 2,000 professionals linked across a global network of 23 offices on four continents. Over at HOK.com you will find plenty of gorgeous images showcasing of the creative work that HOK’s employees has created for their clients that are spread all over the world. Unfortunately, the creativity of at least one of HOK’s employees is not limited only to architecture, interiors, engineering, planning, but also in the creation of fabricated work history and credentials; and to other fraud and corrupt practices.

Just like in the case of Tang Jun, the former President of Microsoft's China operation, who seemed to embody the ideal of a successful, globally minded Chinese businessman, Cecilia Lee the Marketing Director of HOK operation in Beijing, China since 2005 titan's academic achievements were significantly embellished — a fact that doesn't seem to concern HOK legal department and President, but has nonetheless Tang Jun catalyzed a worldwide discussion on the place of integrity in Chinese society.

Earlier this month, Fang Zhouzi, who is known for exposing plagiarism and academic fraud in China, claimed that Tang Jun, who was the President of Microsoft's China operation from 2002 to 2004, had falsely claimed in his autobiography to have earned a doctorate from the California Institute of Technology. Fang also said the California-based Pacific Western University, which awarded Tang his PhD degree in electrical engineering, is actually a "diploma mill", where students can purchase degrees.

However, unlike in the case of Tang Jun, which at least he obtained a real Master Degree, Cecelia Lee has graduated from NO university in the Western Hemisphere and possesses no degree in economics, finance, and architecture or in law as she claims. Her claims of fame of earning dual Master’s Degrees, one of which, she obtained from Thunderbird School of Global Management, a private business school in the United States, and the first and oldest graduate school specializing in international management and global business and the second Master Degree from Arizona State University are fraudulent and fabricated at best.

Cecilia Lee: A Daughter of Chinese Scholars Committing Academic Fraud

Known to the Western World as Cecilia Lee was born in the Northern part of China in 1969 under the name Xiaoxi Li. Ironically, Cecilia Lee was born to well educated family and she grow up in Beijing Jiaotong University, where her father Professor Li Gen Cheng is teaching civil infrastructure and her mother Professor Cheng Gui Hua teaching architecture according to Cecilia. Cecilia Lee got married at least twice and divorced twice.

Cecelia Lee claims to be graduated student with Highway Engineering Degree from Tongji University in Shanghai, China. However, her Diploma submitted to Thunderbird is demonstrating that she has graduated from the Foreign Language Institute in Beijing.

Cecilia Lee for the past 5 and a half years has obtained numerous recognitions for her fabricated accomplishments including the recognition for Women in Business in China, which aims at empowering and recognizing women for their business successes and has been participating in national forums and in other public events on behalf of HOK introducing her fraudulent background in order to win business for HOK. I am challenging both HOK and Cecilia Lee collectedly and individually to prove me wrong publicly and to present the various said diplomas.”

Cecile Lee - Academic Fraud-at-the-Glance

In response to subpoenas court order probing into her education background of Cecilia Lee that was issue by Thunderbird School of Global Management in July 10, 2008, Thunderbird represented that once upon a time in America Cecilia Lee has taken total of 15 courses of prerequisite-classes and the total number credit collected disqualifying her from graduation;

Furthermore, in response to subpoenas court order probing into her education background of Cecilia Lee that was issue by Arizona State University on July 11, 2008 indicating that once upon a time in America Cecilia Lee has taken total of 3 courses of prerequisite-classes for Master Degree

Window to the Stolen Treasures

In September 2006 Cecilia Lee, Xiaozhuang Li and Xuan K. Le were named as the prime suspects for breaking into EurOrient Financial Group corporate property and removing millions of dollars worth of art and antiquities, intellectual properties, and other properties belonging to EurOrient or its subsidiaries. This break-in occurred between July and September 2006 and was uncovered in September 2006. This crime against EurOrient is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, and is considered to be amongst the largest art thefts within the United States of America.

The EurOrient Financial Group announced in June 2010 that EurOrient is holding in its possession information that directly links Cecilia Lee and her brother Xiaozhuang Li, who is a Chinese food delivery boy in the great Los Angeles area, into the crime scenes. Since 2006, Cecilia Lee has managed to avoid and to delay the trail and legal presiding by excising various legal evasions and deception tricks.

Bayjinger missed the point with respect to his green card. According to other bloggers, Tang Jun came to U.S. in July of 1990, which was after April of 1990, the deadline for getting the "blood card". Since he got his green card in 1993, which is only a few month after he started workig in Microsoft, he clearly could not obtain his green card via employment based avenue. Therefore, it can be almost certain that he managed to forge the entry date of his initial visa to U.S., thus deceiving the U.S immigration to issue him a green card. According to U.S. immigration law, if a citizenship is obtained through fraudulent means, the citizenship must be removed. Therefore, Tang Jun's U.S. citizenship can be removed if it is proven, based on immigration record, that he forged the entry date of his initial visa to U.S.

I like your "poor analogy" that a guy steal to save, which is something I strongly admire and also the reason why I almost feel sorry for Google's leaving China.

However, what I cannot agree more is that Google's lack of respect to the government and the people is unacceptable and undoubtedly, the whole things could be avoided if google chose a different way to do things. No matter what, Google is losing my respect when it failed to show some for our people.

Re: Overview of Micro-blogging in China

Nan Duan — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:59:09 -0000

The censorship is intentionally not predictable - this forces websites like Sina.com to self-censor first; if something is "illegal", they will receive take-down notices from relevant departments; their site may also be blocked too at the same time. I think a critical issue here is that the government does not want people to know they are doing censorship. And while the technique is improving, it is also reducing the value of the services - for example there are so many keywords being censored nowadays that it is almost too hard to have a normal conversation. Not sure if this fully addresses your question...

Re: Overview of Micro-blogging in China

alenjoy — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:05:46 -0000

Thanks for the reply! I see. So the main issue is whether there could be a reliable service under the censorship. Is the censorship predictable? If not, is it due to technical issues? Will reliability of the service improve if the censorship technique gets improved?

Re: Yahoo China to Close SNS Guanxi; More Disruption at Koubei

Nan Duan — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:25:56 -0000

Taobao is the biggest c2c e-commerce platform in China. They have a very big user-base, and they have their own IM platform which has 173MM downloads already. Taobao also has a pretty lively discussion forum. I think a SNS play could draw these users to be more active and ultimately make more purchases on Taobao (which is the end goal). I guess one possible idea is to build the SNS on top of the discussion forum - user profiles show what products users are interested in etc. I'm pretty sure there are some star buyers (people who buy a lot and/or are experts on the subject), who would be eager to maintain a high-profile personal page.
Obviously this is not a fully fleshed out idea, and I don't know enough about Taobao (I have never made a purchase). But perhaps it's an indication of potential.

Re: Overview of Micro-blogging in China

Nan Duan — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:52:40 -0000

Hey I love the discussion! Helps me to be more precise in my thinking too.
To answer your question, I think that from the adoption curve, the early adopters tend to be the more socially active / politically active people (empirical observation). The majority of users on Fanfou were still talking about the usual pop-culture stuff - just like on Twitter, perhaps 99% of the tweets are not "useful" - but the minority was discussing really important and sensitive topics (like corruption). Because of these minority users, the government will shut down the service, and as a result the majority of users also lose the service. That's why new micro-blogs like Sina's are so picky about users and censoring content.
I think from the users perspective, if a service was used casually and shut down, they will not bother to sign up to another service. Only the hardcore users will try to continue to use micro-blogging, and that's why a lot of the Chinese users on Twitter are so political (they are the hardcore users).

Re: Overview of Micro-blogging in China

alenjoy — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:02:27 -0000

Please do not take as a political comment. I do not see why the censorship is the main reason that microblogging is not thriving in China. Short message as well as QQ both grow into huge business. And people are not online for sensitive information. Maybe I do not understand the difference. Would you mind point out?
