A good reporting of a well-known story. Next time you watch an ad for the iPhone, check and see if you find a mandarin version of the NY Times displayed on the screen. It will show a picture of Chien-Ming Wang. In Mandarin, the newspaper says, “Pride of Taiwan”. Guys like me won’t notice it, but native Mandarin readers will recognize it. See, thing is, the iPhone is the pride of Taiwan, that’s the point of the ad. The manufacturers on this island, which is the size of Maryland but has the population of Texas, have been miniaturizing devices for decades now.

Taiwan rocks

Hat tip to “Let Freedom Reign“

Michael Moore is whining about the debut of the Iphone as a shameless capitalist distraction from his precious little documentary. Talk about someone who reads his own press clippings:

“Apple and AT&T obviously don’t care about fixing America’s healthcare system. They only care about how many iPhones they’re going to sell.”

Um…yeah, that’s right. That’s typically what phone companies are worried about. Shame on them. And Michael Moore is not at all concerned about how many of his movie tickets are sold…right?
