Microsoft's Office 01/27/2004 02:25 AM
Little-known Chinese software maker Evermore Software next month plans to step up its challenge to Microsoft's Office dominance with the release of its Evermore Integrated Office 2004. The Wuxi City, China, company plans to launch the product at the Demo conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, next month. Evermore Integrated Office (EIOffice) combines the components of traditional productivity suites into one application. Users launch EIOffice, not a word processor, then a spreadsheet application, then a presentation tool. Documents are stored in a single file format and the application, written in Java, runs on any operating systems that supports Java, including Windows and Linux, according to Evermore.

Chinese company makes soy sauce from
human hair 05/26/2004 07:46 PM
A resourceful Chinese company got in trouble for brewing soy sauce out of human hair.

China Central Television (CCTV), the state television station, first raised public worries over the quality of domestic soy sauce by uncovering a substandard workshop in central China's Hubei Province, where piles of waste human hair were found. The hairs were treated in special containers to distill amino acid, the most common substance contained in soybean sauce.

Human hair is rich in protein content, just like soybean, wheat and bran, the conventional and legally accepted raw ingredients for the production of soy sauce.

At this week's Demo Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., Chinese software developer Evermore Software LLC introduced the English-language version of its Evermore Integrated Office, or EIOffice. The company is hoping to garner attention from customers that might otherwise consider Microsoft Corp.'s seemingly ubiquitous Office application suite.

It took Gus Tsao nearly nine years to raise enough money to launch his China-based technology startup, Evermore Software LLC. Now the 59-year-old immigrant is poised for an even tougher mission: beating Microsoft Corp. in the Chinese market for office software, and maybe taking a tiny bite out of the Redmond, Wash.-based giant's dominance elsewhere. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy to take on Microsoft, but China is not going to pay Microsoft forever with their prices," Tsao said.

Tsao is chief executive of Evermore Software, a Chinese company that sees an opening for a new kind of Office, or at least what he calls a truly advanced kind. And at the Demo conference that starts today in suburban Phoenix, he'll show off the English version of "Everm ore Integrated Office" (EIOffice), the newest edition of a product that has been in development since 1999.

Chinese Competitor To Microsoft Office
Ready 05/18/2004 02:52 AM
It was just a few years ago that the conventional wisdom was that Microsoft had won the OS war, won the browser war and (most convincingly of all) won the office productivity suite war. It looks like they're facing increasing competition on all of those fronts - but the most surprising may be the office productivity suite arena. Star Office/Open Office has gotten plenty of attention, but recently we saw IBM launch their own hosted suite but the biggest opportunities may be outside the US. Already, there are stories about China, Japan and Korea working on alternative operating systems and applications to get out from under the Microsoft thumb, and now Evermore is launching the latest version of their EI Office suite which is specifically targeted at the Chinese market. They offer versions of the software in Simplified Chinese, American English and Japanese. The one area where they might be causing themselves trouble is with the price. They offer two options: rentals at $99/year or $249 for 3 years - which isn't all that different from Microsoft's own pricing. If they really want to cause trouble, they should under price Microsoft.

Chinese gamer suing MMO company over
artifact duplication dispute 04/28/2004 10:20 AM
A Chinese gamer who bought a sword that was deleted by the game-host because it had been duplicated by the seller is suing the game-host to reinstate his sword and apologise. As Terra Nova's Dan Hunter says, "Virtual property, duping, and fraud. Heaven."

After many hours of playing the game, he earned 140 million units of game money, which he spent buying a powerful sword from another player through an online trading platform provided by the operator in November.

On November 16, he found the sword had been deleted from his account. After contacting Optisp several times, he was told that the sword was deleted because it was illegally duplicated.

He is asking the court to order Optisp to give back his sword, which he estimates is worth 1,000 yuan (US$120) in real money, and apologize.

Chinese Theater Improvements Work -- Big
Box Office Increase 04/18/2005 08:01 AM
Last month, we noted that the movie industry in the US might want to steal a few pages from the playbook of the Chinese movie industry. While the American movie studios whine and complain that they' ll never get people to come to the movies, the Chinese movie industry (where counterfeiting movies is a much, much, much bigger problem than in the US) decided to compete by recog nizing that movie-going is a social experience and coming up with ways to improve that overall experience. Would you believe it worked? The latest studies show a huge increase in the box office take in China last year. Movies are entertainment -- but it's not just the content. If the industry worked on ways to make the movie-going experience, itself, much more enjoyable, it wouldn't matter if even they, themselves, made the content available for free download. People can drink alcohol at home, and they do, but they still go out to bars, and pay much more to do so, because it's part of the social experience. You don't see the liquor (or bar) companies freaking out about all this "home drinking."

Marking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium, Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances, monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to the number of American households banking online -- due to its convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money 2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.

What do you do when you need to use Windows programs in GNU/Linux?

That's where CrossOver Office by CodeWeavers comes in; using this software you can run a number of Windows programs in GNU/Linux without any loss in performance or stability. Too bad it's under a restrictive proprietary license.
