99 out of 100 women have enough milk, less than 1% of mothers have problems, but it's so rare. We're mammals. All mammals feed their babies with their own milk. There are more than 400 nutrients in breast milk that no milk powder can imitate. But no melamine. But there are pediatricians and health care professionals who say outrageous things in the media in support of baby feeding formula.

Li Jun might very well win entrepreneur of the year. Rather than let his overly-lactating wife's breast milk go to waste, he is selling it online. "Every hour, she produces around 200ml of milk, which is too much for our baby daughter. Her daily milk production is easily enough to feed another baby. We felt this was too wasteful, so we thought of selling it."

At 24 yuan (US$3.50) for a small, 250-millilitre carton, Feifan -- meaning “uncommonly good” -- costs several times as much as cow’s milk. “It’s very natural, green, pure and high-quality. That’s our big selling point -- we aim at the high-end market,” said Ding Pengcheng of the Treasure of the Plateau Yak Milk Company.

Chinese men spend 8.6 minutes in front of the mirror according to a survey by Horizon Research Consultancy Group.

What I want to know is, then what?

Not only that, those same men spend about...

Now Sanlu milk powder no longer contains melamine, and you're wondering where to get your protein-test-fooling nitrogen fix, just eat some eggs. The ones in Dalian contain a kidney-busting 4.7 parts per million, compared to a healthy limit of 2.5 parts/million.

The China's Computer Market 2008 Forecast Report has been released recently. It showed that in the first three quarters of 2007, the software industry in China has registered sales revenue of $50 billion, up 23.6% on pcp, accounting for 10.95% of the entire electronics and information industry' sales revenue. As the software market matures, people have higher and higher expectations over software features, quality and reliability. In October 2005, Ministry of Labour and Social Security formally listed computer software product tester (software test engineer) as one of the new professions.
