As most of my colleagues and friends, I became a diehard fan of Taiwanese magician Liu Qian after watching his fantastic tricks on this year’s CCTV Festival Spring Gala.

Intel has invested a lot in making some great viral videos for Chinese netizens. Here’s their latest masterpiece - a “Tetris” viral video for Core 2 Duo processors.

“This year, it’s not a question of finding a good job. It’s a question of finding anything,” As [...]
