Chinese download manager Xunlei/Thunder for Mac User Interface

Xunlei (迅雷), or Thunder, is the most popular download manager and torrent client on the Windows-based PCs in China. Like quite some other Chinese applications, Xunlei does not have a version for MACs. This situation is soon to be ended, because a Xunlei employee by the name Haibin is developing Xunlei for Mac as a pet project. Today his colleague Qiang Yiwen posed the first UI (see picture above) of Xunlei for Mac on the internet and it immediately attracted the interest from a lot of Chinese internet users. However, Yiwen said in his post an official release of Xunlei for Mac may have to wait until the second half of this year because at present Haibin solely works on the software. via bmwmengwei Sina Weibo

Wang Jiayun: Blowup Doll-like Chinese Girl?

Posted on Feb. 26, 2011 by Fisher in True & Odd

Wang Jiayun (王嘉韵 in Chinese) is the latest internet sensation in China, for her appearance that she is claimed a blowup doll lookalike.

Is Wang Jiayun resembling a true blowup doll? Just check up the pictures (which have gone viral online) below, I doubt there are many guys who can be fooled! Because, apparently,  Wang’s pics were manipulated in the image-editing application(s), they are too fake to be true.

Yet, it’s amused that Wang Jiayun indeed sent South Korea guys crazy when she recently became the No.1 searched name in the country’s most popular search engine Naver.com

According to the info available online, Wang Jiayun, was born in Kowloon, Hongkong, in 1993. She currently is living and studying in Shenzhen, mainland China. Wang Jiayun is 164cm tall and weighs 42kg. Watch below her true appearance without make-up (or Photoshop manipulation).

It can not rule out that some an online game vendor is behind to raise the profile of Wang Jiayun and then take advantage of Wang’s publicity to promote the gaming products. Sick!
