Meet Ying Hang "Hannah" Zhang, a Starbucks barista

image


It was January, 9th 2007 and during her shift Hannah answered to a phone call: an anonymous prankster asked for “4,000 lattes to go, please” but immediately replied, grinning “No, just kidding. Wrong number. Goodbye!”.
It seemed to be one of the usual prank calls made by a fool. Well, it was a fool, but a hungry one: he was Steve Jobs.

Hannah ignored the call she answered was the first real public phone call made from an iPhone in history.

Defend the Diaoyu Islands: how to use gaming for propaganda

image

If you live in China and have access to Candou marketplace you can download a game called “Defend the Diaoyu Islands”. It seems to be a game like Plants vs Zombies, where the player has to defend his fortress against caricatured soldiers. By looking closely at them you will notice they all bear Japanese flags and insignia.

It’s not a coincidence that this summer most prominent argument on foreign affairs news in Far East was the Senkaku-Diaoyu-Tiaoyutai Islands dispute. It seems that someone in China wants to convey nationalist propaganda to young and tech savvy audiences using digital entertainment, like other governments did in the past using comics and movies.

Using videogames to raise awareness on certain issues it’s the mission of Italian studio Molleindustria: they call themselves as makers of “Radical Games Against the Tyranny of entertainment”. Browsing their catalogue you will find games about war, religion, environment and other issues.

The game was pulled out quickly by the Apple Store because it was against Apple Policy, but I don’t know if it is still available somewhere else.
