For those of you worrying over the fate of the new Lenovo-backed video game console, breathe a deep sigh of relief. After missing their November 2010 domestic launch date, CEO of Lenovo subsidiary eedoo Technology Jack Luo announced on Friday that the iSec, short for 'Sports Entertainment Center', would launch in the second half of 2011, and would only be sold outside of China if domestic sales topped 1 million units.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 features Shanghai golf course
The new Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 game for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, and PSP, which was released last week, has put Shanghai golf on the (digital) map. Finally, you can afford to play Sheshan Golf Club (seriously, we think an Xbox might be cheaper than a round there).
China Blog Parade: May 19-25, 2007
Our round-up of some of last week's highlights from China's English-language blogosphere:
Today's Links: Mr. Mom, sturgeon and fake wine
"Academics who study China, which includes the author, habitually please the Chinese Communist Party, sometimes consciously, and often unconsciously. "
"China plans to expand its use of animated police figures into a virtual force symbolizing the government's monitoring of all major Web sites and online forums, state media said Saturday."
"The story was about some mainlanders believing that eating human fetuses can improve looks and heal diseases, and therefore they purchase dead fetuses from hospitals."
"So let's call this nail house what it really is: blackmail."
"Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes Magazine is in China right now and blogging on it. In Karlgaard's most recent post, he asks whether Shanghai or Beijing are China's future in a post, appropriately entitled, 'China's Future: Shanghai Or Beijing?'"
"Nearly 60 percent of saleable tickets will be reserved for residents of China, while the rest of the world will get 25 percent, said Rong Jun, director of the organising committee's ticketing department."
"Severe pollution in the Yangtze River is threatening the existence of the Chinese sturgeon, or Acipenser sinensis, an anadromous fish that has lived on the earth for more than 140 million years."
"However, there is something about China's video sharing sites that makes them much more interesting than their American counterparts: broadcast TV in China is really boring."
"Tears, wild hair and unhealthy songs are banned when China's latest version of "American Idol" goes on the air next month."
"Shanghai, China: In its relentless rush into capitalism and modernity, China's second city is currently exploding in every aspect."
"Phantom Shanghai is a spectacular look at a Shanghai that won't survive the vision the country has for itself."
"Children in more than 40 percent of families with one full-time parent are looked after by house husbands, a survey conducted by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences suggests."
We apologize to the guy we hit in the head while we were playing Wii tennis.
"Pay starts at a measly RMB 2000 a month, and can rise up to about a base of RMB 2500 plus bonuses for kilometers driven. Take-home after tax for the year is about RMB 38,000 (USD 4,900). Benefits are pretty good, though."
"More than half of paint products available for sale in the city have failed quality tests in recent random checks by the Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Administration."
"China's Three Gorges Dam reservoir has been fouled by pesticides, fertilizers and sewage, and more than 600 kilometres of the Yangtze river are critically polluted, Xinhua news agency said on Sunday, citing a report."
"Everyone, if you travel to Shanghai, definitely avoid Hong Qiao Airport on Friday night. Never ever think of landing in Hong Qiao on Friday night. There is a simple reason for that - there is just no taxi that can help you get out of the airport."
"Now that China's showcase megacities are experiencing rising costs and fierce competition both in most sectors, foreign investors are slowly waking up to the fact that there are other cities in China besides Shanghai and Beijing."
"The investigated data from Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences presented that more than a half wine and overseas wines in Shanghai market were fake." So then what is it?
"The report said Shanghai's online consumers totaled 1.76 million last year, accounting for 34.6 percent of local Netizens, with Beijing following by 29.2 percent."

This Week In -ist: Elsewhere in the Gothamist Network
Before we begin, we'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of James Kim. We are not, by any means, trying to discount that tragedy by juxtaposing posts about the Kims with more light-hearted posts. It's the nature of doing a compilation such as this one: we're trying to give a full slice of the goings-on in the Ist-a-Verse: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Running around Shanghai with guns and blowing shit up
It seems that charming Shanghai has become the creative and commercial object of affection for yet another famous Tom (after Cruise and Friedman, of course) and is now featured as one of the backdrops for Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent. The fourth title in the Splinter Cell series is newly available on the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the PC, and bears the name and coveted approval of noted author, bass fisherman and Sith Lord Tom Clancy.
