Reading this article reminded me of the fakes we have in the past with older cpus...

This article is about bearings, but in reality it could be about any product:

http://www.electronicsweekly.com/blogs/engineering-design-problems/2007/04/bogus-bearings-look-more-real.html


The other day in conversation with a customer, he told me about the fake PSP console he had.. it worked great, apart from the wifi, which is what lead him to find out it was a fake.

Is anything on eBay from China the actual product?

You have the right to suspect sth. from China but you should not suspect everything from China

It's not just ebay, sites like dealextreme.com are full of poor copies. I am sure there are many others.

Take it easy. There are always some people likes to make such generalization.

Well, the evidence seems quite convincing. I suppose they could claim the bubbles were space debris? Wink
