Business in Asia: A high-flying rivalry
By Kevin Brown and Sundeep Tucker / Published: April 25 2010 20:09
Those willing to breathe the air must pay property prices that are up to three times higher than Singapore. A 1,600 sq ft (150m²) apartment typically costs upwards of $10,000 a month to rent. In leafy Singapore, a house and garden several times the size can be had for less than $4,000.

The horrible appeal of history
By Niall Ferguson / Published: April 9 2010 17:31
Since the series’ first title Terrible Tudors (1993), the franchise has generated 23 original books about specific periods of history, such as The Frightful First World War. There are also many more compilations, magazines, annuals, a first world war exhibition at the Imperial War Museum and now a CBBC television series, featuring sketches firmly skewed towards the scatological, and linked by a talking rat.
Sales of the series have topped 11m copies in the UK and 20m worldwide, with the books translated into 31 languages. The secret? This is, as the book jackets say “history with the nasty bits left in”.
Chi-X’s Asia plans may include HK and Seoul
By Jeremy Grant / Published: April 12 2010 18:26 ← It would be fun to see... I have been quite dated on trading technology happening now.
Canberra wants to promote an efficient stock market as part of a plan to make the country a leading financial hub in the Asia-Pacific region. However, it faces stiff competition from other cities, including Hong Kong and Singapore.
Seoul orders curfew on web games for under-18s
By Christian Oliver in Seoul / Published: April 13 2010 19:29
South Korea has ordered the operators of the three most popular South Korean online games to block overnight access by users under the age of 18.
The curfew is a response to the case last month of a young couple who allowed their baby to starve to death while they raised a virtual child in an online game. The tragedy shocked the country and sparked calls for safeguards against web addiction.
Gaming is big business in Korea, with some 30 per cent of the population regularly playing online games from such industry leaders as NCSoft and Nexon, which together control nearly a quarter of the global market. The domestic market is estimated to be worth about $2.4bn, with exports valued at more than $1bn

Behind all successes are a series of failures
By Luke Johnson / Published: March 30 2010 21:58
Keep busy – never retreat from the fray entirely. Take exercise, research other possibilities, network furiously, redouble your efforts and seek advice about alternatives. As Winston Churchill said: “Never give in, never give in, never; never; never.”
Set new goals as soon as possible, keep occupied by planning fresh adventures, and retain your thirst for experimentation. As Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, put it: “Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as possible so you can make progress rapidly.”
We live in a far from perfect world, and this is the phase in the cycle when things are apt to go awry. But educating yourself to cope with each misfortune, while soldiering on relentlessly, is the surest formula for glory I know.
Teller of hard truths to technologists

Backer to the future
Hermann Hauser has backed a succession of innovative UK businesses including:
Arm Holdings
Mr Hauser started the chip design business as a unit of Acorn Computers in 1981 with “no people and no money”. He helped spin it out from Acorn, by then part of Olivetti, in 1990. Arm is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has a market capitalisation of more than £3bn, thanks to the widespread use of its chips in mobile phones and other devices.
CSR
Originally known as Cambridge Silicon Radio, this business came to prominence as a designer of chips for Bluetooth wireless headsets. Amadeus, the venture capital firm co-founded by Mr Hauser, backed the spin-out from a consultancy in 1998. Shares in CSR, which floated in 2004, have been volatile, recovering some lost ground in the past 12 months to give the company a valuation of about £870m.
Solexa
This genome analysis business received early-stage investment from Amadeus. Solexa’s aim was to cut the cost of genetic analysis to make it more accessible to patients and physicians. It was bought by Illumina, a California genetics business, in an all-share transaction that valued the UK company at about $600m in 2007.
