Mientras muchos de los comentarios del articulo fueron dedicados a comentar que tan estúpido es el autor, o porque habla mal de algunas empresas, personas o de las olimpiadas, nadie discute el mensaje de fondo.

¿Quien va a ganar actualmente? ¿el Marketing o la Razón ? El Marketing lo han manejado para hacernos creer que un montón de cosas de mala calidad que hemos comprado o apoyado son buenas y no debería ser así. La prensa escribe basado en sus intereses, las empresas defienden sus intereses, los distribuidores defienden a las empresas que representan y en el consumidor queda convencido de tal campaña de marketing y de la supuesta seriedad de la empresa.

Así que la decisión puede ir por dos caminos, 1) Confiar en uno mismo y creer lo que se le da la gana. 2) Simplemente basarnos en la idea de que "La Ignorancia es Felicidad".

99.5 % fireworks are real, there is only one kind of the fireworks is fake!!! Study more before you write this article!!!!!!!!!

so the chinese fake the olympics like they fake gucci bags. nothing new there.

however, check this out, apparently, the girl too ugly to sing on tv has a fan site, http://www.ilovepeiji.com

funny how the world turns.

I wouldn't say Bill Gates loved" the fakeness judging from the info and links offered and in this article.

But The point is, the government used this as a display of the "new face of the country", yet unfortunately, it used fake images to do it. 

This is saddening more in the symbolic sense. The government was taking so much pain, including faking and covering up, to paint a deceiving face of China. If it has accomplishments to show, why not just be truthful??? Not confident that the truths are good enough?

It is the fact that faking and covering up are typical practices of that GOVERNMENT that made these revelations more newsworthy and noteworthy. Yes, it cheats, by showing a false image. It always does! Trying to fool the unsuspected and trustful eyes inside and out of China. That's what's outrageous! 

And yes, it is very upsetting that the 7 year-old girl was told she was not pretty enough to be onstage. Sad for the other girl, and all kids, as well to be taught that a pretty face is all that matters. 

Not to say that, the 7 year old is lovely and charming in her on ways (What's wrong about a 7 year old having imperfectly lined teeth anyways?). And after all, it's a singing performance, and she has beautiful voice!

BTW, I don't agree with some articles regarding the issue blaming it to "the Chinese/China". It's the government. Remember the government controls everything there? Especially for an event like this. Or especially THIS event? 

The government doesn't represent "the Chinese", or China in that matter. 

Innocent Chinese people were/are decepted too. The more innocent, trustful you are, the more you are misled to believe...That's the true devil in the government's cheating and faking. The government is a shame to the Chinese people!

you know.. just so China came up with the best opening ceremony up to date, there is no need bashing and twisting the truth - THEY'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB. If you have issues with MSFT, go spend your appearent abundent time to write about them all you want. The bottom line is.. get a life and take a course in jounalism at your local community college.

Word. Although, this is how humans work. Is there *really* an Utopia? We believe the *truth* could be a simple idea. Or that analyzing, arguably degenerate/conflicting, behavior is helpful or progressive. The incomprehensible amount of causes/effects to create us, phsycal beings with self-awareness, being physical-self with a community of others just the same. Questioning... surviving... looking for truth or absolution. We're not supreme, or absolute. We're "life" trying to survive. We dominate the world, work as a group... don't virus do the same on a much smaller level?

I say: Don't be a bitch. Love & Compassion, baby! 'cuase there isn't any truth -- accept your own comfort.

We watched the opening ceremony on NBC (USA) at local primetime (about 12 hours after the fact). The NBC commentators at that time clearly mentioned that the footstep fireworks were CGI replicas of the difficult-to-video orginals. I don't know if the rebroadcast was a verbatim replay of the live original, but it appeared to be. If so, then this detail was also mentioned during the Live NBC broadcast to the USA.

In either case, hardly a scandal.


Shurely you meant "Shurely some mistake."

"You will also believe that playing with the Wii is actually better than going out and playing under the sun."

Well, actually Fernando, using the Wii IS better for me. I am susceptable to skin melanomas, so being in the sun for hours a day isn't really an option.

Not everyone in a sun-worshiping bronzed god or goddess like all you Argentineans. Some of us have to go through life as pasty white troglodytes.

by the time I finished reading the "article" I forgot what it was all about in the first place.

they used windows after all, for some reason I thought they would have used a specially flavor of linux made by them or something like of that sort.
and to think about it, has someone zoomed in and see what caused the BSoD? I can bet it's more of hardware failure.

China did a wonderful job... Everyone praised it...

Once, westerners have realized that they can't come up with similar show in London, they started coming up with lame excuses i.e. "Only communist Party can spend this much on opening ceremony, democracy doesn't have this much liberty to spend on sports events." and "All was fake." or even "Free Tibet" Stuff...

Whatever they say and no matter how much their hearts burn, truth is that China did an excellent job and they are going to win the olympics...

Rest is lams excuses, rants and jealousy...

Must be a slow news day for you guys to actually spend some portion of you one and only life and its limited time span to come up with the meaningless dribble.

Bill was there in person, he saw the REAL fireworks, not the fake ones. The fake ones were only on TV, which were faked to look like the real thing anyway.

The 6502 was used in the Vic20. The 6510 was used in the c64. The big difference being the 6510 could address additional memory.

I can't believe all the stuff that got removed from your article. Man, the censors are getting worse, they even killed the pics of the booth babes. ;-)

Love the article.

pradeep, read the article, just just the first couple of lines.

Good article, and don't be down on the 6502, some of those bugs were great ways of confusing computer science teachers at school, who didn't know about them.


To me the Olympics is full of sports that I find boring to watch. Some are exciting to take part in, but most are quite dull as a tv show.

When it comes to London soon it will cost at least £1bil/day ($2bil/day). And it's not even exciting.

There are too many drug users, and very little effort is put in catching them. The Chinese 110m hurdler didn't take part in international competitions this year, is that so he could avoid drug testing?

Why aren't all top athletes blood tested each month with a blood sample kept for up to 75 years. There should also be contracts and criminal penalties for any drug taking or other cheating.

If I want to watch a bunch of drug users running around I can watch a holiday show about clubbing in Ibiza.

Here's the quote from Gates (since the long-winded Fernando chose not to give it): 

"I've had a wonderful trip this week. I started off by having a chance to go to the Olympic Games' opening ceremony, and see a lot of those games, which were fantastically managed," he told a packed audience in Hong Kong."

Put in context, Billy said that many of the games were well managed, and had no actual comment on the opening ceremony. Come on, Inq, there's plenty of legit things you can attack Gates for without having to invent it!

Why in heaven are all you Inquirer 'hacks' (oh, such a cool word!) so bitter and sad?

I used to read the Inq daily. Can't take it anymore so check in once a week Monday morning. Right now I just dropped in to look if you had info on one specific rumor but only see junk articles such as this one.

You used to have inside leads getting exclusive insights. Now it looks like your sources had enough of the opinionated abuse. There is nothing to be found here that is not written up better on other sites.

Maybe I'll just go ahead and drop you from the Monday morning read. Thanks for the insights you used to give. Now you are history.

Best article I have ever read.

You couldn't read two lines in that article without tripping over some Microsoft bashing to be honest. Its funny you never mentioned Apple, who are THE BEST in the business in terms of creating an 'Image'. 

anyway back to the Olympics, I think it was a good idea to computer generate the first part since it wwould have been a waste of Fireworks (since the people were in the nest anyway).

The replacing the little girl thing was... harsh ... but very chinese!

you are relating olympics fireworks with MIcrosoft.i think you dont have anyother work.would you plaese give me any proof that microsoft prepared video to escape from US govenment.dont just write your own stories in internet.just try to learn from Microsoft.
