What's wrong with Asian Webdevelopers?!?!

OK first thing first: I am extremely angry right now, so my anti-Asian IT feelings might last only for some hours ;-) Please don't feel offended if you are Asian or a web developer.

For some years now I have noticed that most Asian websites really suck. Either if it is sohu.com with its horrible user center or Sina.com.
They all have one thing in common: They suck when it comes to multi browser support and to the use of modern techniques in an appropriate way.

Another example is the Konami ID website. What a pain in the ass...
But there is also a really good competitor called netease (www.163.com). They seem to know how things should work in the net.

PS: After a day long downtime Konami ID finally works fine so my anger has gone to nowhere ;)

...and Asia's male Paris Hilton is: Edison Chen



That's right folks. Maybe you guys remember the time when there was Paris Hilton's leaked to the internet some years ago. Well a kinda similiar case happened in Hong Kong these days.
Famous pop idol (singer, actor etc.) Edison Chen really had bad luck this year.
First his laptop breaks down, then he gives the notebook to a repair shop and finally some naughty repair guys find about 1000 private pics showing him with some well known celebrities like Gillian Chung in some explicit positions.
But that's not all. Somebody really must have disliked him because one month ago somebody posted some of these pics on a HK forum.
And everybody wants to take a look at the little handsome guy... Oh boy...
Well let's hope media will lose interest soon, so that people can have their old life back.

PS: Here's some Google Trends stats when you search for Edison Chen.
