    "What does it mean that so many people are buying mobiles based on pirated designs? "

    It probably means that big-name cellphone companies charge too much for their products.

    There's nothing China can't and won't make a cheap knock-off of. Just wait until human cloning is perfected, you'll see Will Smith starring in thousands of Chinese movies.

    @Jogfrog: Technically, wouldn't having a clone Will Smith star in a movie make it more legit and less of a knock-off? Better than having Bruce Li in a 70s kung-fu flick, right?

    @Brisco_County_Jr: That was his point.

    And "The Clones of Bruce Lee" was hardly the only Brucesploitation movie. Hell, even Jackie Chan started out as a Bruce-a-like.

    This doesnt supprise me one bit. I used to work in a pawnbrookers that dealt with watches aswell as gold and the 'superfake' watches we got through were actually unbelievable. Not this knock off stuff you see down at the market, watches made from actual gold with diamonds mounted in the face. It beggard belief that this much time and effort was put into these 'superfakes' but they were still fakes. Yes the gold was a lesser carrot and the diamonds of not good quality..but after going to some seminars about watch forgery I found out Japan and China have factorys set up over there that just pump this stuff out. It really supprised me! Superfakes are going to be the norm very soon..I can see it!

    Sadly, it won't tell you which screenings have the shortest lines.

    In reply to iPhone App Makes Comic Con (Slightly) More Manageable
    when we are aged and nearly gone our children will come to us and ask, "you must have seen the signs, the ill omens, the portents of doom that surrounded you. why did you sit idly by and do nothing while our world withered and died around you leaving nothing but an empty husk to pass to us, your children?"

    and we will answer
    "in our ignorance, our youth, our hubris we thought we could control these forces for our own edification but we knew not what horrors iphone apps would visit upon the world."

    @foxhatescyclops: Existential question, an open door to a devolving Twitter hatefest, or an honest, sincere question? Either way:


    Twitter exists to feed upon itself.

    @Garrison Dean: nope, that time it worked. (lousy lack of preview function or edit function). So just put that pic, up with the top comment and ignore everything else I've said, ever.
