LOST END

Media

Great Show. I love this end­ing. Although many ques­tions are unan­swered, but this is not about Q&A at the end of the day. To those who insist to get the answers: “what makes you so hard to believe?”

Hong Kong Glossary of Frauds, a Must-Read Handbook if You Don’t Read Next Magazine Everyweek

Hong Kong Glossary of Frauds, a Must-Read Handbook if You Don't Read Next Magazine Everyweek
Finance, Life, Media

You will find it in the sec­tion of detec­tive stories.

Those top­ics are nor­mally seen in com­plaint sec­tions from news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines. So famil­iar to me!

Although the book design is messy, but I find the con­tent use­ful. At the end of the day, Hong Kong needs finance fic­tions and glos­saries of frauds like this kind!

A Few things on Economic Assassin

A Few things on Economic Assassin
Finance

Frankly speak­ing, I don’t like the cover design, too generic for me.

Cer­tainly the Eco­nomic Assas­sin (金融刺客) is not the first local fic­tion ever on eco­nomic or finance issues but it must be the most recent one in a decade or so.  I fin­ished it in two days, and I found it very fruit­ful and inspiring.

Although the char­ac­ters are way too “cup-noodle-ized”  for me (taste good, but too much MSG, you can hardly say it is a fine dish), but the plot is really clever. Con­spir­acy, a tempt­ing topic of eternity.  I really can’t wait to read the next volume!

But one thing to add: since the book com­prises of some real facts and infor­ma­tion on eco­nomic or finance issues, some­times it is not easy for peo­ple to digest, espe­cially if they have lit­tle finance knowl­edge. Maybe there should be a glos­sary for jar­gons like ETF, SDPR, options and so on.

And, the set­ting up of eco­nomic assas­sins, who would try every means to pro­tect the power of US dol­lars, is not a pure imag­i­na­tion. In 2004, there was a book pub­lished under the name “Con­fes­sions of an Eco­nomic Hit Man”,   you may want to check this out.

Eco­nomic hit men (EHMs) are highly-paid pro­fes­sion­als who cheat coun­tries around the globe out of tril­lions of dol­lars. They fun­nel money from the World Bank, theU.S. Agency for Inter­na­tional Devel­op­ment (USAID), and other for­eign “aid” orga­ni­za­tions into the cof­fers of huge cor­po­ra­tions and the pock­ets of a few wealthy fam­i­lies who con­trol the planet’s nat­ural resources. Their tools included fraud­u­lent finan­cial reports, rigged elec­tions, pay­offs, extor­tion, sex, and mur­der. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and ter­ri­fy­ing dimen­sions dur­ing this time of globalization.

Expecting Adult Web Games

Expecting Adult Web Games
Games, Technology

Bor­ing, bor­ing and boring.…..

I wish to inspire some­one by this post.

Web game is cer­tainly an over­whelm­ing trend, it can be played on a com­puter at any­time as long as there is a browser installed. So I would expect stronger and faster browsers to be invented in order to cater the trend.

And google is try­ing to bring us a browser-OS or OS-browser…oh shit! Browser devel­op­ment, who cares? 

The truth is, I am way too tired of all those epic war/three kindoms/farming/ restu­rant web games! And I am long­ing for some adult/porno web games with rich con­tent and  enter­tain­ing play­ing experience.

There is a blue ocean in it, believe me.
