Ex-Googler Hugo Barra gushes over Chinese Xiaomi's fanboys Oct 22nd 2013, 22:55, by Zach Miners, IDG News Service Ex-Googler Hugo Barra has a thing for the fans—but not Google's. While the Internet data behemoth may strive to "do no evil," "we do everything for the 'Mi fens,'" Barra said Tuesday, speaking of Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi's loyal users. Mi fen is shorthand for "Xiaomi fan," and also means "rice flower." "They come first, they're our priority," he said, speaking during the GMIC mobile Internet conference in San Francisco. At the event, Barra delivered candid remarks in one of his first public appearances since news broke of his departure as Google's high-ranking vice president of Android. Now he's vice president for Xiaomi Global, and is responsible for leading the Chinese company's international expansion efforts.
