Uh duh? Companies use email and other free services to sell ads. Great point if I and every twelve year old on the planet didn't know this already. Don't start off with patronizing comments.

Kudos to Apple? Uh no. If they pulled a Yahoo and didn't tell anyone they were just going to hand over your emails, pics, SMS, contacts, files, they'd be crucified like Yahoo was for getting people thrown into prison.

Your icloud CRYPTOkey now resides with a Guizhou state run company. That a gigantic difference than when even your data might of been on a China server, but that key was in the hands of Cupertino Apple. Now pretty much any state or even local police anywhere in China can demand the Guizhou company to comply with a search warrant, and as the article made clear, police in China can issue the search warrant without asking anyone but themselves to issue one.

But I guess your right, for the 99.9% of the users who aren't human rights lawyers, political activists, journalists, environmental protesters, villagers involved in land disputes, this won't affect a thing, and yeah, your icloud may download faster, cheers!

Very tragic event. But thanks for the article and background info. I didn't realize there were border ferries and Burmese kids would daily use them to go to school in China.

Kunming is actually does a lot of cutting edge plant and animal research given it's access to Yunnan's biodiversity. Even neighboring countries send researchers to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Kunming.

I didn't know till someone showed me, but Kunming houses the second largest seed bank in the world, with an additional focus on preserving animal genetic material also.

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.

If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.

Update:

It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.

Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.

You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.

The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.

Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.

Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.

They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.

Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.

Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.

Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
