Engadget Going Retail In China
August 20, 2007 | Author: C P | Filed under: Shopping, Travel, Zhuhai
Sorry for the quality – didn’t bring my camera.
Today I went for a stroll in the local computer city of Xiangzhou district, Zhuhai (in Guangdong, China) and was overjoyed to find Engadget, my favorite gadget blog, selling stuff over a counter there.
I thought that it would be very new, since it wasn’t yet announced on the blog. And therefore, I thought that the founders would be there to celebrate the launch. Guess what? They weren’t there, not even Thomas Ricker was there. Worst of all, the Engadget Chinese staff (living the closest) weren’t there either. This is really lazy of Engadget, running a business long-distance like this.
When I approached, I realized no one talked English… Engadget is the world’s largest English blog, so this didn’t make sense either. Engadget – you guys suck at business.
I’m really disappointed and shocked. In how stupid some Chinese vendors can be.

its a fake engadget shop!
Umm… it’s not Engadget.
Maybe before you start calling other highly respectfull sites “lazy” and say that they “suck”, maybe before you make such insults, you should check out the facts.
This shop is a ripoff and is not officially endorsed by Engadget, apart from that.. can you not see the font is totally different for the Engadget logo?
Somehow I don’t think Engadget actually runs the store. More likely the Chinese penchant for stealing ideas and copyrighted material is in play here.
Way to go China! There is nothing you guys won’t steal.
And way to go blogger! Your reactionary behavior gave me a laugh.
You do realize that engadget have nothing to do with this and someone is just ripping off their logo…
Guys… come on! I thought Engadget visitors were smarter than this.
‘Tis a shame that the art of sarcasm is lost on so many people.
Yeah well, imitation is flattery.
I can’t believe you guys didn’t understand that the author realized it wasn’t engadget. Good job. I, too, thought engadget readers were smarter than this.
The first few comments are funnier than the post itself. Way to go you guys.
The author is just being sarcastic… get humor.
Humor is required to be funny by definition.
Not quite, sarcasm is different from humour, though it’s often funny it’s not a requirement, personally I thought it was excellent, wasn’t hard to pick up on.
