That's not korean, It has korean letters in it, and korean words, but it doesn't makes about as much sense as a horse trying to speak English (Mr. Ed excluded).
Maybe the 3 finger spread/3 finger pinch thing is like picking something up and putting it back down...hummmmm, thats kinda like what you do when you copy paste. Amazing!?!?!
20000 KRW is only $21.50 either that or i just got a lot richer with all the money I have here...
The only reason the micro payment system works in Korea is because they are a bit zealous about their apperance. They pay money so they can change an avatar on their cyworld page (like myspace). In the land of girls that won't leave the house unless dressed up, hair done, and face caked with make-up to go to the 7-11 down the street and where 80% of women have plastic surgery done before they're 30 a micro-payment system for apperance changes works.

In the states, not so much, it's just not that big of a deal to people and it will at least take money from the company if they want to continue to support it or it will just go under in a few months from lack of revenue.

It's a nice that their going to do this for free but they made a mistake if they think its going to work like Korea.
I eat at lotteria, although this burger may have fooled you into a sence of food normality, it doesnt taste good at all. All the food at McDonalds is a step up from that processed nightmare.

Dont judge a food by its colors....
I live in korea. The gaming isnt all that great here. Counter strike is just starting to get reconized here. They were years behind on starcraft and warcraft 3. They have some innovative games coming up but most of their games are straight rip-offs of american games. Nobody really plays guild wars here and the most popular game from children to adults is a came called Cart Rider which is taken from Mario Kart, rainbow cubes and all.

Lan parties are easy to have. You just hit up the local pc room and play the game you want. Unless it a game that they dont have and you can't download then you are screwed. And it doesnt have the same feeling as having your pc with you. There isn't any excitement its just something to do to pass the time. Playing at pc rooms with friends is about as exciting as playing online at my house.

Korea comes off as a great place to play games. In practice its stuck 5 years in the past compaired to the west. The games that you can play are few and far between and if you want to play battlefield 2, Age of Empires 3 or any new game that is out come here in 3-5 years and it'll be the new hot thing. (That is until a korean company rips it off and gives it to them for free, but hey what can you do???)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
