Credit control
Google makes 96% of its revenue from advertising, most of which comes from the small ads that appear alongside search results, known as AdWords.

China Fake Apple Store Clerk Speaks Out

Suddenly one of the most famous Apple stores in the world that not only is not a real Apple Store but probably will not even authorized Apple reseller.

As previously mentioned, was China's real fake Apple Store, located in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming, discovered by the City of exile blogger who uses the handle BirdAbroad. It has since gained wide international attention remarkable lengths that owners seem to have gone to mimic the look and feel of a real Apple Store.

Attempts to come to the store owners is tough. Repeated calls to the manager on Thursday unanswered. But the store, he reached by phone confirmed that the store is an authorized Apple reseller. The seller said that the store is a genuine Apple products are sold at the same price as advertised on Apple's website.

BirdAbroad Mail said Wednesday that the store staff said he seemed to believe that they were employees of Apple. Editor's phone had been no such illusion. "It's not a big difference to us whether we could or not," he said. "I just see that every day that I sell are genuine Apple products, and that our customers do not return to me to complain about the quality of products."

The store is one of the many unofficial vendors of Apple products on display around China. BirdAbroad office said there were two Apple retailers around the corner from the store contained a false, one of which is misspelled sign that calls itself the "Apple Stoer." Many of Apple's products are sold through its retail business distributors in China, while others are purchased from abroad and smuggled in some cases, the products offered are used, or even knock-offs. It is clear, with a fake Apple Store Kunming sources its products,

"I think, Yunnan, should our store has one of the best in terms of scope and level of professionalism," said a seller in Kunming. Kunming spiral staircases leading online store, the employees blue t-shirts and official looking badges help to give it the look of Apple's iconic Apple Stores, which is only four, two in Beijing and two in Shanghai, China. Although a valuable sales channel, the Apple stores in the same style is also an important marketing tool, analysts say.

Now, if Apple has certainly been a focus, a way to Kunming, the store may apply to be part of Apple's network of authorized dealers. But it's unclear how Apple would kindly to such a request under the circumstances. Apple's intellectual property-related problems are usually not taken lightly, as evidenced by last year the police to ask for an iPhone purchased in four prototype technology site Gizmodo before starting the machine, and this years' imprisonment handed down to three people, in Shenzhen after police discovered that they had worked together to steal the pre-release iPad two images that make accessories for it.

Apple spokesman declined to comment on.

Official Apple resellers, labeled as "Apple stores" of the company's website, has been granted the status after going through the process of applying for certification to sell or give specific Apple products and technical support services.

Photos of authorized dealers in the stores Apple's website shows that some of its official distributors in a nod to Apple's trademark minimalist look, and will also feature giant posters of Apple products. But the guidelines, including how to use the logos. An authorized Apple dealer in Beijing, said Thursday that the store design and layout of the Apple logos are all "in line with Apple's requirements."

Fantasy Football Talk: 5 Truths You Need To Know

This is quickly becoming the again, and the latest progress of the work of the negotiations last week, it actually looks like we have the NFL season without interruption! The most important state, except marriages that are registered in the country a man strangled by the four quarters of murderous rage is a normal Sunday, this fun, fantasy football is to go without problems. For what it is, it's time to start delving into what you need to know to succeed in the first year and may have hit his league.

Here are five "truths" one has to consider preparing for your fantasy football draft;

Good running backs are still important, but it becomes harder to find.

The old fantasy football adage that if you have two good running backs, are you locked the game, and while it still applies for the most part, it is increasingly difficult to find that the dynamic duo of the team to engage you. In recent years, many backfield NFL teams moved from the singular star of the group thing. You will be the primary runner who eat Thurs the 1st downs, third down specialist who will primarily act to block or to another receiver, and in some cases, a short storage specialist grinding them out, and the third out. With wear, producing running back position a full-featured back days are numbered.

That's why you need one of these elusive goal for at least some of the first round. Adrian Peterson, Rashard Mendenhall, Peyton Hillis, Ray Rice and running back are all examples of what can be the key to a successful fantasy races.



Wide receiver is our deepest position

Calculated by taking a look at fantasy football (as prepared cbssports.com fantasy site) wide receivers going into this season, one thing that jumps out at you that the position is deeper than what you might think. There are (give or take) 40 wide outs forecast of at least 100 fantasy points in standard scoring system, more than half of that expected to put in more than 125 points. Given leagues start three receivers and usually lasts about 10 teams strong, it means that each team can have three wide outs 100 points apiece.

Taking this into account, if you have the opportunity to intervene, or maybe Andre Johnson, Roddy White, it's probably best to fulfill their running back and quarterback positions first.



A good quarterback can get you a championship

Referring back to the top running back rankings cbssports.com an estimated 200 to 250 fantasy points in the season to you. Turn the quarterback position and the top 8 you expected to score between 300-350 points. This is a fairly sharp increase in the view!

The basics you need to remember is that when you pick in order of importance, broad position, you must understand that the person who touches the ball is the best chance to score the most points, and no one touches the ball more than a quarterback. The only reason to transfer the 3 best QB in the first round to take the three top rusher, period.



Kickers and defenses to the last reason

Almost everyone who makes fantasy football any time you say that you should not even think about designing a kicker or a defense to the final round of the draft. The reason for this is twofold. First, the difference between the top kicker and 15 is negligible, it's just a big point difference. This also applies to the defense.

Another reason is that other places are just more important. Between the starters and backups, have a greater need for any other position. In addition, you can ensure that the other teams in the league will not be directed at the two tracks up late at night, so why should you.



Look at his late season match-ups!

The underlooked aspect of preparing a good fantasy football team is that you want a good match-ups come playoff time. Of course, teams dramatically improve every year, but mostly, if you follow football you know what the defense is good or not. Good late season match-ups can be the difference between the preparation, says Tom Brady over Drew Brees. Both are good, and put the point, but if Brees is easier to schedule come playoff time, you can bet I will pick him up instead of Brady.

So, there you have it.

Here are five basics of fantasy football, if they are kept in the forefront of your mind come draft time, should help you choose the winners. Listen CraveOnline more fantasy football news and notes in the coming weeks.
