China Update
A quick look at recent news from China

China Cell Phone Subscriptions Exceed U.S. Population
China, adding users at a rate of two every second, overtook the U.S., with a population of 293 million, as the world's largest cell-phone market by customers recently...

Great Wall of Unknowns
The question about China's economy is no longer what it will do to China but what it will do to the rest of the world...

Final Word
Is 99.9% really good enough?

We keep hearing that everything can't be perfect, but here's a few examples of what you can expect with a 99.9% success rate:

  • 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents today
  • 114,500 mismatched pairs of shoes will be shipped this year
  • 18,322 pieces of mail will be mishandled in the next hour
  • 2,000,000 documents will be lost by the IRS this year
  • 2,500,000 books will be shipped with the wrong covers this year
  • 2 planes will have unsafe landings at O'Hare Airport every day
  • 315 entries in Webster's Dictionary will be misspelled
  • 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions will be filled this year
  • 880,000 credit cards in circulation will have incorrect information on the magnetic stripe
  • 291,000 pacemaker operations will be performed incorrectly
  • 3,056 copies of tomorrow's Wall Street Journal will be missing a section

Suddenly 100% doesn't seem so far-fetched, does it...
