Here is a job advertisement from an iced-tea shop in Taiwan. It looks like it was only just posted as the number of people required for each shift and the telephone number haven’t been filled in yet, but that won’t stop us translating it:

Lonely on Valentines day? Kaohsiung drunk makes out with a telegraph pole
Written on August 31, 2010, by Chinese Hacks Dave
A Kaohsiung man, after becoming drunk on Valentines Day, (was seen) hugging a telegraph pole, his face was stuck against the pole as he kissed and stroked it for nearly 2 hours – the level of intimacy between him and the pole was no less than two love birds head-over-heals for each other. He continued until the police were almost there then reluctantly took a taxi and left, with the hilarious behaviour captured on camera by passers by.

Taiwanese gamer fined for using Zhuyin to swear online
Written on August 27, 2010, by Chinese Hacks Dave
Online game enthusiast Mr Zhu of Kaohsiung County, after a disagreement with another player, used Zhuyin (BoPoMoFo), innuendo, and “martian language” (internet slang) to insult the other gamer, who (subsequently) sued Mr Zhu in court. The Kaohsiung judge invited the gamer to explain which words were used in the to insult, then used the crime of public insult to sentence (him) to 6 months in prison, or a fine.

iPhone 4 is coming to Taiwan, telecoms open registration
Written on August 24, 2010, by Chinese Hacks Dave
Iphone 4 is really coming, the three big carriers have received notification from Apple that (iPhone 4) will be released in Taiwan soon.
iPhone 4真的要來了，電信三雄已經收到蘋果通知，將於近期來台上市。
中華電信、台灣大哥大、遠傳等三家電信業者，都在這兩天簡訊或電子郵件的方式，告知媒體此一最新消息，並宣布可提前登記。不過，三家業者都還無法告知確切的上市日期，原因是仍須等待蘋果審核iPhone 4資費方案，也就是說，實際上市日期仍是掌握在蘋果手裡。

Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile and Far EasTone, all used text message or email to inform the media of the news and announce registrations (for iPhone 4). Although, the three companies still have no way to announce a definite release date, the reason being that they are still waiting Apple to investigate suitable pricing plans, in other words, the actual release date is still in Apple’s hands.
Review: Hanping Pro Chinese Dictionary for Android
Written on August 23, 2010, by Chinese Hacks Dave
We reviewed the free version of Hanping Chinese dictionary a while back, but now we actually have our hands on the latest release of the Pro version for review. First let’s have a quick recap of the free version.
Free Version
The free version comes with the following features:
- Search Chinese characters, English or Pinyin
- Search Traditional or Simplified characters
- Predefined Word Lists (HSK, idioms etc)
- Voice Recognition (On Android 2.1+) – we haven’t been able to test using this as the HTC Desire build of Android doesn’t come with this feature.
- Other features include the dictionary being saved to the SD card, and the app does work offline
The search results consist simply of a list of words, pinyin pronunciations and definitions, in the free version words can’t be saved or bookmarked. Although basic, the search results are very quick and in the latest version of Hanping if a phrase cannot be found then the definitions for each of the constituent characters are displayed – and who can argue with free?
Pro Version
So what does the paid pro version offer that the free version doesn’t?
The main difference is that search results can now be clicked and viewed individually. There are also a series of actions that can be performed on the word, represented by the four icons shown above the word in the image below:
