I grew up in a small town by the Yangtze river in China.

Maybe, it would be even better to grow up by sea, which constantly makes heave.

The consumerist values are so dominant in the mainstream Canadian society. I'm not sure if I completely agree with that particular inclination.

Across the world, will China see the ever growing influences of consumerism in its society?

Is there a slight possibility that the claim of Gaddafi's death is a knavery set up by him?

RBC importunes their customers to set up a line of credit with them or buy their so-called 'Talk & Save' long distance plan. Who needs those two products?

Sometimes it's boring to watch government finance officials prate about economic prospects, in their typically dull and measured words.

I am going to become old. My hair will grizzle, my motion will slow down, and my body will be feeble.

Will my lived life feel like vapor at that time?

There's a fine line to differentiate among service providers.

People from a certain region in China are sort of like adders to friendship.

Yahoo! has been fizzling out. What time can do to any big company.

'A table for twain,' J uttered to the waitress.

Apple, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, Samsung, HTC et al. have been in the court suing each other and claiming other companies have infringed on their own patents in mobile computing. What a messy war.

Maybe IP litigators will become increasingly busy in the coming decades.

The last four teeth are beginning to grow out on our toddler daughter.

That last round of teething presents both wholesome growth and pains for her, problems for us.

Do you think 'keyboard navigation' is a better term than 'keyboard shortcuts'? I think so.

Until now, all the commonplace beers in Canada are cleft into two tiers in my mind: Heineiken and Stella Artois, and the rest.

I owned an LG cell phone. It'd got a really elegant design.

And my appetite for LG's industrial design, its product quality aside, was whetted by that phone since.

在 iPhone 和 iPad 市場份額節節高的這個時代，我估計還是有不少人是希望 Android 翻盤的。

An entrepreneur's ignorance and meanness bruises his business and his staff. Eventually, it's himself who gets nothing after years of efforts.

Ignorance and meanness doesn't go far in this world.

Maybe unction is too prevalent in North America.
