Действительно, Джобс, создавший секту с миллионной паствой, велик. . .

Но сегодняшний его побег странен, особенно после всех грязных судилищ и накануне выхода Самс 10.1 . . . или наоборот, очевиден )))

[pats0n]

Я думаю он просто подустал за все эти годы Ж-)

nice Jobs` quote, but it ain`t taking any blame from the media for providing dumb content - they as easily could push a much more intelligent one!

[pats0n]

True - but in case of blogspehere, which is self-organizing media type - you can't take blame on bloggers with dumb content becoming big ! :-)

yepp
but we can`t say that the majority of the top`s audience is not affected by the mainstream media

even i`ve occasionally watched TV until maybe 3-4yrs ago %)

[pats0n]

I watch TV a lot - mostly Bloomberg channel ! :-)

Recently I turned on MTV Asia - to find out that these days 60% of videos shown consist of Korean pop (K-Pop) boy and girl bands which all similar to each other but come in huge numbers ! :D This is really weird to bring music entertainment to such canonical packaged predictable form ! And it seems like K-Pop is much bigger (I think by magnitude) now than J-Pop in Asia !

Эту мелочь прозрачную наверное сложно фотографировать :)

[pats0n]

Ну она в отличие от пигмеев хоть не крутится постоянно ! Ж-)

[klugekatze]

То есть эта позирует ? Я прозрачных не видела, а вообще мелкие казались весьма вертлявыми, чтобы сфотографировать надо затаится и пузырями и пугать :)

В смысле что гоби если присядет отдохнуть то сидит неподвижно длительное время Ж-) А коньки постоянно в движении !

They are not endemic to Southern China, although Chinese population has higher occurrence of pink color morph.

[pats0n]

I trust your expertise :-) What is their actual areal when ?

[vdinets]

The systematics are a bit complex, and the number of species is either 1, 2 or 3. The Chinese species (or subspecies) occurs from Shanghai to Sydney, Perth and Myanmar coast. The other two species/subspecies are in western Indian Ocean (Sumatra and Bangladesh to Sinai and Zululand) and in West Africa (Gabon to Mauritania).

Ok, now I understood my confusion. It's just skin color of population along Chinese coast is unique, not the specie :-) Thanks ! :-)
