Akihabara, Eat Your Heart Out

An amazing sounding Technology Mall in Shenzhen, China. Photos here. Ooh look, there are some videos on You Tube too, it looks awsome, if you’re that way inclined. Also check out the bizarre cross shaped MP3 players in this picture

As I first step foot into the building, I am assaulted by a whirlwind of electronic components. Tapes and reels of resistors and capacitors, ICs of every type, inductors, relays, pogo pin test points, voltmeters, trays of memories, all crammed into tiny six-by-three foot booths with a storekeeper poking away at a laptop, sometimes playing Go, sometimes counting parts. Some booths are true mom-and-pop shops, with mothers tending to babies and kids playing in the aisles.

MovieFiesta.com

Just got multi spammed by MovieFiesta.com. a site offering up to DVD quality downloads for a fee of quite a large selection of movies. OK from the outset looks utterly dodgy as the referring URL in the email was something else, the domain is registered as being somewhere in Korea, and as of today, there is NO trace of it on Google whatsoever. However on the other hand… is it in any way related to MP3Fiesta.com which is kosher(ish), and to me it looks like a little too much work has gone into it for it to be a phishing site. Anyone know anything? Been brave enough to buy?

Then behold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVhVClFMg6Y&fmt=18

Not a gigantic difference, but better never the less.
