    It doesn't look like Overwatch's holiday celebrations are over just because Christmas is in the rearview mirror. Next up? Chinese New Year. The game's Twitter account sent the news out along with a quick video, proclaiming that the event, Year of the Rooster, will begin January 24th -- a few days before the actual holiday this year. Given that previous installments have included special gametypes and character skins, it stands to reason we can expect the same here too -- especially given Mei's garb in the 11 second clip.

    TUAW readers in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines can look forward to a special Apple promotion this Friday. On January 6, Apple is holding a "special one-day Apple shopping event" for "amazing iPad, iPod and Mac gifts for everyone." As with Apple's annual Black Friday sale, the company isn't giving anyone an idea of what the sale prices will be. You'll just need to visit the Apple online store for your particular country on Friday to see what's available and how the bargains stack up. Apple has designed a clever "Year of the Dragon" graphic made up of iPad Smart Covers for the various online stores. We'd love to hear from TUAW readers this Friday on what deals they were able to get.
