Having defeated the lecherous orc, S.H.E. finds a thirst-quenching treasure cache.World of Warcraft has arrived on the Chinese mainland, and Blizzard, the producer, has joined hands with the Coca-Cola Company in a new "iCoke" ad campaign. The latest ad spot features CGI avatars of S.H.E.'s Ella, Selena, and Hebe vanquishing a fearsome monster that wants them to sell out. The S.H.E. ad is aparently meant to be inspirational, fitting with Coke's slogan, "For satisfaction, look to yourself." The group faces an unscrupulous music executive who wants them to dress more revealingly in order to sell more records. They refuse, and when the exec reacts angrily, the girls take a sip of Coke, which launches them into the World of Warcraft universe. They proceed to teach the guy a lesson while wearing the chaste costumes female video game characters are well-known for. Fantasy battles are quite common on the Chinese front of the Cola Wars. Pepsi's campaign last year featured their entire line-up of young stars slinging magic missiles around in an immense amphitheater. The most recent Pepsi spot, which introduces new recruit Nicholas Tse (see Danwei's previous post on the subject), is a frenzy of icy CGI wings and projectiles. Coke's ads are red where Pepsi's are blue, but there's not much else to distinguish between the two.

I have arrived at Garching, Munich. Everything is fine, but my computer doesn’t have Chinese input yet. This is a problem. Sorry I can’t response to your comments right now.

(The scene: The Beijing News office, Beijing.)EDITOR: Hey, Xiao Huang. Stop playing Freecell! We have a paper to write. XIAO HUANG: Yes boss. EDITOR: That three-legged cow story was really popular, you know. Do you have any more crazy animal antics to fill all that terrible space in our newspaper this week? XIAO HUANG: Erm. (Shuffles through a pile of papers.) How about these ones, boss? EDITOR: Excellent. These escaped pigs escaping from the... erm.. police will fill page 13 on Monday, while these crazy traffic hazard monkeys of Guiyang can help us deal with our content problem for Tuesday. Good work Xiao Huang!

求证一下：

没想到，博客中国竟然变身黑客中国！事情经过是这样的：
2005年6月28日早晨起床，第一件事是打开电脑。然后是打开IE浏览器，我感觉比平常慢了许多，等待良久，突然跳出一个自动安装的程序界面，并且自动运行，我以最快速度想点击取消，但来不及了，还没看清是什么软件，就自动安装上。同时，防火墙软件报警是否改注册表，我立即选择否。
没有想到，痛苦的事情发生了！IE打不开了，我一连点击开五个IE窗口，一个也打不开，在任务管理器中，能看到IE进程，但IE进程被阻塞！
我立即重启，情况依旧。IE被黑！原因不明。
因为上班，早晨没更多时间，也就暂时不管了，没有再处理了。
上班到了公司，公司的电脑早因黑客软件的问题，运行极慢，想到家里的电脑又中招了，心里极度不爽。正值这几天事情不多，就跟上司打了一个招呼，重装公司里的电脑。
没想到，我又掉入一个更深的陷阱。在安装过程中的一个误操作，竟然导致整个硬盘分区被毁！全部文件丢失。，因为只把D盘的资料备份到E盘，而没有备份到别的机器上。当时，我的头就轰的一声响，完了，我的全部工作文档与开发软件！
立即换一台机器，查找分区恢复软件，立即安装到我的电脑上，开始紧急恢复，全硬盘磁道扫描！初步估计要10个小时！
下班了，接朋友电话，帮着搬家，让电脑慢慢处理吧，在朋友家搬完，太晚上，就直接在朋友家住了。
第二天，到公司，看文件恢复的情况，惨了！竟然才恢复20，而我要找的文件根本没有。一查原因是，软件运行效率越来越低，运行越来越慢，照此下去，直到系统资源完全占用，也难以查出来啊！
我的备份在哪呢？我想起来，前些天，因为自已开发几个小应用软件，当时好象把自已所做的几个关键代码COPY到家里的电脑了！记不太清。
我立即向上司说明情况，回家一趟。
一回家，打开电脑，一查，天佑我也，关键程序都在，虽然是一周前的版本，但却正是在用的最新版本。立即用U盘再备份。
回公司，不再恢复文件了，直接硬盘重新分区处理，虽然许多文档丢失了，但毕竟还三个月前有光盘备份，另外，所有网络程序在服务器上都有一份，关键代码也损失不大，我做过一遍了，驾轻就熟，可以一天内恢复回来。
晚上，公司托管的机房出问题，晚上11点多，通过修改网关，重新编译关键代码程序，为公司挽回了近万元的损失！真的不敢想象，如果没有当时随手无心的一个备份，所有数据丢失，我将面对什么了！想起来就心寒！
公司的电脑基本上可以用了，但家里的电脑就不知道怎么回事了。这可不能随意重装，里面是我这十年的备份数据，共160G啊！
七一是周五，晚上回家打开电脑，再打开IE，发现虽然慢了一些，但可以打开了。我用的机器是1G内存，P3-933双CPU，配置很高的，当时是做IDC托管服务器用的机器，还出这种事！仔细一查，发现IE中就增加了两样东西：一个是CNNIC的网络实名，另一个就是博采网摘。我想起来，是因为前一天，无意中进入了博客中国网站，所以才有如此结果。
我鼠标点击一下博采网摘，IE就和死机了一样，很长时间没反映，最后跳出一个登录页面！
在新增与删除软件栏中找到了网络实名，立即删除！但找不到博采网摘的删除项！
太晚了，先处理到这，睡吧。
今天是周六，休息，有时间了。早晨再开机，发现CNNIC的网络实名已删除，但博采网摘仍挂在IE右边无法清除，同时，打开IE比正常时都要慢一些，很可能是加入某些不为人知的处理程序。点击博采网摘，打开帮助中心，只看到了如何安装，根本没有如何删除！
打开博客中国首页，看ICP证，有咨询电话，立即电话咨询。
咨询电话有人接听，我说明了情况，对方说：这是我们加上去的，自动下载，自动安装，不提供删除。如果要删除，请到论坛中去看帮助。
我打开帮助一看，看来不只我一个人受害，还有其它和我一样经历的人。
博客客服关于删除软件的内容如下：....（via CSDN）

It's funny... Being away for about 9 days. I read only the bare minimum of e-mail, never browsed the web, used a search engine, or once looked at my RSS aggregator. I think the first thing that I'll do Tuesday morning is fire up my aggregator and mark everything as read. I like the idea of starting with a clean slate. But there's this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that I'll miss something Really Important...
