The real situation is: as long as relatives and friends have someone who can read and write in China, you can get a bank account with his/her help. In fact bank begs you to open an account.
Maybe PRISM is also caused by Huawei and ZTE. There is nothing about politics.
In fact, google cloud already be blocked by GFW. Many of AWS server's ip have been blocked by GFW. Only Azure can be used in China.
Things is not as simple as it looks. Some Chinese say the founder of 'Redcore' is officiallings. There cound be some collusion between the referee and the athlete, when he get his fundraising.

OSX/ios may not be able to tuned into an real-time systems for iCar(if it existed);and considering the quality of Apple's software in recent years,I would say:there is still a long journey.

Statistical law can't tell the truth of human life. The past does not mean everything,at least does not represent future.Anyone can change and alter the trajectory of his life only one in our study between.

Ms has a terrible records of abandoning Ms-related tech followers by technology renewal: vb->.net,wp7 !-> wp8. To many developers,ms is irrelevant. And after using onedrive/Office365 for a long time, the experience is poor:sometimes even on a wp/lumia,bugs like file loss and page broken is usual。
I think it's ok since CCP denied the existence of GFW; and we would just do things related to work,it's like an unwritten rule.
