Some Westerners don't think Chinese people emote.

Floating and Absolute Positioning are two major CSS layout tools. And they are tedious.

The studying in North American universities of the native speakers of Chinese is GREATLY impeded by their highly probable insufficient English proficiency. My friends and I were among them.

Can you really trust Western banks? I don't think so. Not any one of them.

The existence of raunchy inner cities has its economic reasons.

"Picasa" is the name of Google's online image organizer and photo sharing program. And that name has something to do with Picasso.

""Picasa" is a blend of the name of famed Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, the phrase mi casa for "my house", and "pic" for pictures (personalized art)."

The offices and buildings of the federal government in Canada tend to look chaste.

I love FM radio stations. Douban.FM is a good example.

How to properly interpret the words and teaching in the Bible seems to very difficult, subtle, and ambiguous.

For one thing, in the New Testament, Jesus told people to love their enemies, and 'turn the other cheek' to their assailants (St Luke, Chapter 6). Obviously, the U.S. government didn't follow that specific piece of teaching in its handling of the 911 attack.

Read in English, and read fast.

The hefty Nokia is depending on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform, at least in the short term. I still can't believe it. Gee.

On a related note, in a sense, individual SNS users are sort of like mini news stands which disseminate media material pieces, independent of the media companies.

I guess that a sense of wonder is vital for an individual when he first encounters a branch or unit of knowledge.

That being said, it seems that many university professors, in both China and Canada, are not good at conveying that sense of wonder.

It seems that technology firms are nifty competitors to all sectors' established players.

The Berkshire Hathaway companies are advertising sort of aggressively now. Well, the shrewd Warren Buffet.

It looks like that Huawei, a giant Chinese telecom tech company, has begun to globalize and Westernize really seriously.

I suspect that many Western countries are beginning or will begin to breed a more coherent national identity among its citizens of various cultural backgrounds.

Life must be miserable from time to time for the web developers in China. The very backward IE6 browser is still in horrifyingly wide use over there.

Perhaps I'll take up an Android tablet at the end of this year.

How differently are the power of the monarchies of the U.K. and Japan circumscribed?
