  • Guess who the Hong Kong government has employed to troll the internet for uploaders of copyrighted material -- Boy Scouts.
  • Why would you sign an eight-year sponsorship deal with with CSL before you have permission to enter the Chinese market? IPHOX.com has backed out of the deal leaving the league out in the cold (if that is possible during the summer).
  • How many Starbucks are there in Shanghai? According to the company's official site, 46 (as of April). That number actually seems low to us.
  • Want to take the train to Tibet? You aren't the only one. Ticket sales have been halted because it's too damn popular.
  • In an effort to make the whole city fat, some of Shanghai's McDonald's are now open 24 hours. And don't forget about delivery.
  • Four of the top five names searched on Baidu are "net stars."
  • TiVo is coming to China.
  • Mission: Impossible 3 has finally arrived in Mainland cinemas. Is there anyone left (besides Shanghaiist) who hasn't already seen the DVD?
  • Rest easy: "The steel bean is back."
  • The 19-year-old who gave birth in a Shanghai internet bar bathroom and left her baby to die in the toilet has been arrested.
  • Wait ... those breast enlargement pills don't work?
  • Don't call it a comeback, Faye Wong has been here for years.
