I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Sure enough, a quick check of the Apple website revealed the tech giant has zero official stores in Kunming. The blogger, a non-profit worker, adds that there are some licensed resellers of Apple products in the area, namely a chain of electronic stores called Xinya, but this did not appear to be one of them. Read the whole post here, including references to shady “plain clothes security guys” lingering outside the fake store. The best part? The blogger found two more seemingly counterfeit Apple stores in the immediate vicinity. Who knows how many more are cropping up all over China’s provinces? Steve Jobs, you’ve got a problem on your hands.
A problem all the way to the UNIVERSE'S BIGGEST MARKET CAP!!!!!!!!!!
