Does Samsung lack creativity? I don’t know much about the company…my phone is an old N73 from nokia :slight_smile: I had to replace the screen once (8£) because I accidentally smahed it into the ground. The volume control is broken aswell.

All this talk about Asian nerdism / culture of hard work etc reminds me of a story about Li Ka Shing and his sons ( Li Ka Shing is a tycoon in hongkong). Li Ka Shing gave his sons first class seats on the plane going to their vacation destination but really bad seats on their flight home, asking them which flight they preferred and telling them that good grades/ hard work would allow them to fly first class for the rest of their lives…lol

Everyone respects him in Chinese culture…He also owns Sydney airport carpark which charges the most ridiculous amount of parking fees I’ve seen on earth

A Financial Times analysis of Samsung recently said samsung lacked creativity … and lacked return on equity too (compared to US tech firms which truly maximized shareholder value ^^)

I guess our cultures are different. Tans are sexy and people pay to haveeven a fake one. Too white is seen as sick.

#44

People always want what we can’t get. Tanning products are all over the western world and in Asia you can only see whitening cosmetics. However, Asian skin won’t have those red sun spots or whatsoever , so even if it’s pale , it’s quite flawless. And Asian skin is natually more tanned. Therefore I don’t think it would look sick white…

Nicole Kidman and Emma Stone are pale and beautiful :wink:

#45

why are tanning products so…orange?

#46

You forgot to mention zero curves. lol at “better build”. If you mean shaped like a 12 year old boy, then yes.

#47

Korean guys have better build than Chinese / Japanese on average

korean girls are taller than Chinese/Japanese on average

im not comparing Asian curves to western girls here

Like I said being slim in Asia is a higher priority than having curves (which pisses me off so I left , lol)

#48

I love curves…hmmm woman. (…oops a bit creepy)

#49

stupid thread…

#50

That coming from a guy that worships Kardashians ?

#51

yuup

#52

I seriously question your reasons for finding this thread interesting.

This thread is downright stupid. its filled with a bunch of stupid assumptions and stereotypes that borderlines racism. none of what is said makes any sense or difference.

Talking about babes is another thing altogether…

#53

i never said it was interesting…casual racism is amusing though…(sometimes)

#54

It’s not racism if it’s based on empirical evidence.

#55

Hey Frank,

apologies if I touched a raw nerve. Sweeping with a broad brush, can come across as funny or not.

Open a thread on the Ultimate North American nerd country - I’d vote for Canada.

#56

Agreed Frank. Take of babes is different. So do you think you can do a full squat with Maria Bartiromo and Serena Williams on your back?

#57

…may i opt for a situp instead?

#58

No, but you can opt for a 100meter dash with just Serena Williams on your back, and you carrying two tennis rackets. (picture yourself doing that)… bet you hadn’t before.

#59

Wait, why is it Serena Williams all of a sudden? Based on what we know about Frank, Serena doesn’t seem like his type. She seems more appropriate for that “transferpricing” guy. He needs a strong women who can take charge in the relationship.

been there done that
