Its funny that Chinas backstreets can churn out better looking phones than the likes of Motorola (and probably more functional too).]]>Apr 1st 2009 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/Apr 1st 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/And the knockoff screen is really keen
When you see how small it's just a pain.
Noklahoma, Ev'ry minute with you's such a waste
Sit alone and talk, try not to gawk
At the kind of poop the Chinese buy!

We know this belongs in the can
And the can it belongs to is so grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! This sucks so hard!
We're only sayin'
You're such a crapfest, Noklahoma!
Noklahoma, "OK"!!

I always wandered how it was possible that the price I got it for was less than half of the components in the laptop: turned out that even the components were copies of real components. I discovered it years after when I opened it to upgrade it, because it never had any problem that required me to open the chassis.
I' d buy another one (more modern) tomorrow if I could find it for an equivalent price.]]>Apr 1st 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/

Recently I heard of an even more disturbing event. We all hear and know about CISCO, the beloved maker of all things router and network equipment. Turns out there is a Chinese company called Huawei that wanted to get into the networking market. To this end, they bought one of CISCO's popular routers and reverse engineered every single part down to the last bit of software and the last piece of circuit board. A while later Huawei shamelessly entered the networking market with their own router. When CISCO analyzed this new machine they found it was a 100% clone copy of their own router; even the names of the original American programmers were still embedded in the OS. So much for the millions of $$ CISCO invested in R&D, testing, design and the countless hours their people invested in making it all happen. The Chinese just come and take it.

http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=77818]]>Apr 1st 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/
The lawsuit between CISCO and Huawei were way old. CISCO dropped the case at 2004. Last year, Huawei became the biggest telecommunication company in the world. They supply telecommunication system for England, France, Germany, India, Africa, and South Americans. The number of international patents they filed during 2009 also tops any other company in the world. I don't think all these new patents are stolen from CISCO. I bet Huawei will no longer need to do those things to CISCO any more.

Looking back to the history:

About 150 years ago, English bashed Germany for stealing their technology;

About 100 years ago, Germany called American "Shameless" for copying their skills;

About 40 years ago, American blamed Japanese for stealing their automobile technology;

Now, everybody is complaining Chinese for violating intellectual property rules.

Sometime, people forget things really fast, ignoring the fact that: rules are made by pioneers, and followers trend to break them when necessary.

Maybe in a few decades, nobody remember China used to be the a KIRF kingdom. Our next generation turned to blame Africans for something else. ]]>Apr 1st 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/
Sometimes these clone items come from the same production house as the real items, company X contracts Chinese manufacture to build 100,000 of product X, which they do, then they make another 100,000 of the same thing and slap a bogus name on it. No regard at all for the intellectual property, but the product is the same.

Other times they buy an example and blatantly copy it, I've seen lawnmower engine blocks where you could still see where they ground off the serial number of the engine used to cast the mold for their copies. Quality of these varies all over the place, usually toward the bottom end of the scale.

The Soviet Union showed what happens when you base your technology on copies of everyone else, by doing that you are always at least one step behind and having not gone through the development process, many times nuances are missed and the final product does not live up.]]>Apr 1st 2009 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/01/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxcv-nokla-n97-drops-two-is-fools/
I do not mean to hurt your feeling, just tell you another thing many Chinese people think about Americans:

I came to this country for my PhD program a few years ago. When I first saw those Chinese made KIRF gadgets, as well as all those IP violations by Chinese companies, I felt embarrased and shamed. I used to ask my collage roommates who works in the KIRF industry why don't you guys focus on original designs? Recently I got an answer from him:

Americans made rules on almost everything in the world, including international financial rules. Therefore they can borrow money from worldwide and live a life that they don't really deserve. In return, they sold toxic financial products to the world and drag the whole world into this crisis. Now the whole world have to pay for this. Many hard-working Chinese save their little incomes and part of those saving just vanish because of the trouble that Americans made. Hey, why you are still saything that we have to obey every rules they made? See, people learn from copying at first. We are just walking the same track that everybody passed.

Te be frank, I don't know how to argue with this....
