The Chinese side of Apple Computer
Posted: October 11, 2011 in Current eventsTags: Apple, Business, China
“… funny thing about the current state of [the] … globalized network of supply chains in which we find ourselves–many of the stories that germinate in Cupertino/Silicon Valley usually find their denouement in Shenzhen [because of extremely cheap labor].” Here. Question. What will happen to product-development/designer corporations when there is no more cheap labor? Well, on one hand it won’t matter where products are assembled; on the second hand, only a selected few super filthy rich members of the Plutocracy will be able to afford them; on the third hand, actual assembly oriented production of such limited quantities will only last a few weeks; on the fourth hand, it will eventually become a losing proposition to make them; on the fifth hand, technical design will become nothing more than flower arrangement theory in community colleges.

I know one thing, without Steve Jobs the tech world will be far less interesting, and to think that with all the CEOs in the country–the world–this one had to be the one to kick the dust before his time. Other than Jobs think how many corp heads there are and how many would be missed if they suddenly kicked. I can’t think of one. While Jobs’ death brought grief and an outpouring of condolences (especially in Asia) imagine how nonplussed you’d be if you heard instead that some Big Banker or Exxon top exec or even some other tech giant (with the possible exception of Gates) expired from an illness. You probably wouldn’t bother to even finish the first line of the obit. It’s going to be difficult opening the next edition of MacWorld.

Rihanna bares breast in nature: but good news, blindness in the innocent was averted
Posted: September 28, 2011 in Culture, Current events, Psychology, ReligionTags: Rihanna
Lo and behold, almighty ones, Rihanna goes topless on farmer’s field while shooting video and causes rift in the fabric of existence. The stilted old farmer then came upon the scene of corruption on his land and disrupted filming and ordered the sexy singer off in the name of God. Nudity of course cannot be tolerated; it can cause blindness in innocent beholders (though God was merciful in this case; there were no incidents of reported blindness or sudden outbreaks of severe acne). Staring at bare breasts can also, so it is said, cause auto-ejaculation in crazy old cogs who have never experienced the fleshier aspects of the natural world (except maybe for a cow’s milky udder), or at least can’t remember.

Did you know that in many Korean supermarkets you’ll find, for example, dog heads in the meat section. Asian societies aren’t the only ones where people eat dog meat; parts of Switzerland have also adopted this grotesque practice.

Though I’m not Chinese (not even close, I’m Swedish-GBR) I’m in what might best be called an Asian state of mind lately. Right now it’s China. Over the summer in my spare time I’ve been reading nothing but books on China. Here’s some recent conquests: China: A New History (Fairbank), When China Rules the World–The End of the Western World and the New World Order (Jacques), The Chinese in America (by the late Iris Chang), Mao–The Unknown Story (Jung Chang and her British husband, Jon Halliday)– my 2nd reading, The Lucky Ones: One Family and the Extraordinary Invention of Chinese America (Ngai), The Woman Who Could Not Forget: Iris Chang Before and Beyond the Rape of Nanking–A Memoir (Ying Ying Chang), Wild Swans (Jung Chang). Next on the list is When China Ruled the Seas: The Treasure Fleet of the Dragon Throne (Levathes). There’s also a ton of Chinese movies I’ve watched on Netflix, The Emperor and the Assassin (with beautiful Gong Li) and yes, a couple of Jackie Chan movies too, but also spell-binding documentaries about migrant workers like The Last Train Home and Up the Yangtze. I also rewatched Year of the Dragon (with a young Mickey Rourke as a tough detective), a fictional account of Chinese gangs in NY.’s Chinatown. After that? I hear Japan calling; I’m especially interested in how life was lived in the Grand Banana Republic’s internment camps during WW 2. Then there’s Korea –Do I hear the Korean Wave calling?
Robber barons are back (maybe they never left)

It’s important to differentiate between official ideological Multiculturalism (capital M)–different laws and educational expectations for different folks (an apartheid system)– and the kind of multiculturalism (lower case m) which simply refers to people of different races and with somewhat different cultural traditions, but all living together under general rules and regulations of a society.
Just read Fairbank’s China: A New Hist. There’s a section on footbinding of women which was essentially the disfigurement of women’s feet (Han Chinese anyway) to satisfy a man’s foot fetish for ‘golden lillies. It was almost as grotesque or maybe just as grotesque as Islamic genital mutilation. It started in the tenth century and was still visible up to the 1930s. From about 5 to around 15 a girl’s feet were bound in such a way so that the front or side of the foot would bend toward the heel, looking at that point more like a kind of weird hoof (how they got ‘golden lilly’ out of that is beyond my fetish imagination). Women would never run again, or even be able to walk properly; I guess it was a surefire way of keeping your women at home Anyway here’s a picture from an exhibit on the subject in Taiwan.

“Hollywood Chinese”–exposing the stereotypes

Interested in the history of Chinese cinema in the Grand Banana Republic? Try Hollywood Chinese (includes a short clip).
In the movie Ghosted, two Chinese are eating in an Asian restaurant in Germany and are wondering why some of the German patrons are eyeing them suspiciously. They think we’re eating dog, says one; the other rolls her eyes in disbelief. But many Asians really do eat dog meat, especially in Korea. Koreans also believe that killing a dog very slowly, in other words, torturing it, makes the meat taste better. And I thought Esther Ku was just making that up in her comedy act (sort of exploding a myth)–you know, about dogs being 25% more lean than turkey. This makes me wonder if the plot of Bai Ling’s horror movie Dumplings is maybe based on reality.

I’ve watched the trailer for Transformer 3 and it looks godawfulfouledup. Come on, Bay, even software design animation has to follow certain rules of physics to make it look real, to blend with the actual actors and real environment, or did you just steal some of the animation from a kid’s crappy video game. The hokey stuff on Power Rangers looked more real. Overdone computer animation technique is just too routine in movies now. A few months ago I watched the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, with the master stop/motion animation perfected by Ray Harryhausen (watch the fighting skeletons scene). It left much of today’s CGI in the gag room. Another thing. Where did Michael Bay get the lead actress? I was no fan of Megan Fox (couldn’t act and looked like Bad Teacher instead of a student in the first one at least) but this new lead looks like a store manikin with a pair of red humongazoidian wax lips (or are those CGI too?).
