Late Night Ignoring Asia

Rain to be released by the army?

Singer and actor Rain, who joined the army in October 2011, will be discharged next week after completing his mandatory military service.
Before wrapping up his 21-month stint, he already signed a contract with Cube Entertainment to serve as his management agency, and has reportedly been working on his future plans.

Yes, Rain was being used by the army as weapon of very bad entertainment


They can defeat the evil forces

NTT DoCoMo Inc, Japan’s largest mobile provider and a pioneer of the mobile Internet, is one of just a few holdouts among the world’s big mobile carriers not offering Apple Inc’s iPhone to its 60 million customers.
It is paying heavily for that obstinacy - with a net 3.2 million users jumping ship to its two domestic rivals over the last 4-1/2 years - but is determined to protect the walled garden of services it has built around its own smartphones.
“We’re trying to develop a lifestyle system,” NTT DoCoMo CEO Kaoru Kato told Reuters.
While customers and even some executives increasingly clamour for it to relent and sign an iPhone deal, DoCoMo is showing no signs of softening towards Apple.

Of Apple hell bent on controlling  the world of the phone


How would you like to pay?

For the villagers of Kashgar, the sweetest deals on computers, smartphones, and tablets do not come with hefty price tags. To buy these increasingly popular electronics, all that they ever need are their sheep.

In this part of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, sheep have become as ubiquitous as cash itself. So for a 29-year-old computer dealer to offer special promotions in which these meek farm animals serve as an alternative mode of payment wasn’t too much of a stretch at all.
The dealer, Jie Huang, who hands out leaflets in nearby villages, advertising his promotions, points out that by using sheep to trade for his gadgets, people get a more realistic estimation of the value of, say, a smartphone, which costs one sheep. A laptop, on the other hand, may be exchanged for four.

Lamb chops or mutton
