Ordinary Gweilo

The SCMP has dropped their weekly Technology supplement (again).  No surprise, really, because it seems to attract very little advertising, and recently it seems to have been padded-out with large photographs to fill the reduced space.

Amusingly (but predictably) they have come up with a ‘positive spin’ on this, claiming that they are "shifting the focus of [their] technology coverage to examine China’s dynamic new role.  Coming up, you will see more reports about mainland technology outfits, their people, their products, and how they go about raising money."   

Blah, blah, blah.  They’ve done this before, of course, and last time they also tried to present it as an improvement in their coverage.  Then they revived the weekly section, and naturally that was also described as an improvement.  Right…

I guess it will save me HK$7 a week, so I’m not complaining.
