腾讯微博，你真是GT的好儿子
4/18/2010 -
在我看来，腾讯公司除了抄袭以外，最拿手的就是设计那些脑残产品，利用人性的虚荣、愚昧和盲目来谋取巨大的商业利润。但我又不得不佩服肥企鹅的客户黏贴能力，时下，几乎每个中国的网民都会拥有一个QQ号（也就那是那些脑残民口中的网号），作为自己网络身份的象征。如果没有一个QQ号，你都不好意思跟别人讲你是一个天朝P民。而在天朝，P民们就是喜欢做大家都在做的事，以至于农场、牧场的火爆是“理所应当”的。
QQ会悄悄地监视用户电脑、查看用户隐私文件，这是很多地球人都知道的（脑残火星人当然不知道，他们也不在乎）。我曾经花了不少时间来说服我身边的朋友不要再用QQ，弃用QQ！让腾讯去死！但最后都以失败告终。无奈世上大多数人对网路的追求都只止于广泛性和通用性。只要换一个界面，就会完全不知道用同一个软件的人真是大有人在。
使用这只肥企鹅有七八年了，但迄今为止，在腾讯无比广泛的产品线中，能让我有好感的产品并不多。QQ影音、QQ邮箱和TM算是腾讯仅有的几个让我喜欢的产品（QQ2010BETA的界面很赞！），而它们都有这样一些共同点：干净、实用和平等无特权。
而自从http://t.qq.com/ 上线已来，我就十分的关注。因为这样一个产品是注定要在天朝网路中引发桌面交流革命。天朝局域网2.0时代的成熟期终于要到来了，微博客这一互联网2.0的顶级应用将借助QQ号垄断性的市场份额，迅速在天朝网民中普及。
在天朝，信息传播的速度将前所未有的加快，一个链接、一张图片、一个段子你发给我、我发给你的时代马上就要过去了，在微博客的时代，所有这些值得分享的信息，只要简简单单地点一下“转播”，就能以前所未有的速度传递到网路中去。你就是媒体，你就是电台的接收器和发射器。
在天朝，P民与P民、P民与VIP P民之间的距离将被无限地拉近。当人人都拥有一个微博，人人都开始习惯在微博上碎碎念的时候，“关注”和“被关注”这样自由的关系网形式，将彻底打破传统的好友之间1对1的模式和QQ群里的小众讨论模式。你可以在任何时候加入任何话题的讨论，当然你的发言很可能会被信息洪流在瞬间冲走，但请你相信，只要你的发言是有价值的，便一定会迅速地得到别人的回应，无论他们是正在关注你，还是通过别人的转发而看到的你的发言。只要你的发言能够得到别人的认可，你便可以0距离与那些你倾慕的核心推友、名人、名星们交流，你甚至可以成为名人、成为核心博客。
我对腾讯微博有着许多的期待，我希望它真的能给天朝局域网带来变革，打破人们的交流障碍，加速信息的传递，接近中文网路上人与人之间的距离。虽然腾讯不算是一个有良心的商人，但普及互联网2.0和微博客这样的重担还必需要由腾讯来推动。我们不能指望那些不成气候的独立微博客或者是那小器的新浪微博，在天朝，只有腾讯有这样的市场能力，当然，无论如何，腾讯本身对于微博客这块蛋糕早已是虎视眈眈了。
从最早的滔滔，到后来的QQ邮箱阅读空间广播（大概也就是腾讯微博的雏形吧），腾讯一直是在默默无闻地“学习”和“研发”着自己的微博产品的。即使是面对新浪微博迅速抢滩登陆的势头，腾讯还是在有条不紊地踩着自己的节奏。腾讯这只老狐狸从来不担心市场，等别人把产品开发成熟了，自己马上一抄过来，便可轻易的把对方反过来掐死。
感谢有爱的推友们，给了我仨邀请码，让我幸参加了腾讯微博的内测。当然，在这之前我还是得先感谢国家，因为我在建号的三个小时内就被因为bio 里的一句“只是爱自由，无心颠覆PARTY”而被封号了，当然，是在完全没有任何通知的情况下，还不准申诉。
腾讯微博果然就是不同，在大胆抄袭各大微博的同时，还具备了天生强大的审查和监督能力，在强大的五毛party的配合之下，让所有不和谐的因素都无以遁形。管理员们手持超强电磁轨道炮，把所有那些胆敢闹事的P民都被轰尸骨无存。噢，不对，是彻底地被抹杀掉。当你被封掉的时候，你跟本不知道你的帐号发生了什么，明明QQ客户端里大家都玩得好好的，你就是没办法发言，你就是没办法打开腾讯微博的网页，永远都是显示“系统繁忙，请秒钟后再试”，而换上另外一个账号以后又马上能打开了。啊呀，我都忘了这是在天朝，还有什么奇迹不会发生呢？像腾讯这样只手遮天的大公司，想要ban你一个帐号，难道还要像国外那些运营商那样左发一封邮件通知，右发一封邮件警告的吗？
腾讯微博可是GT的好儿子，容不得别人开你老子半点玩笑，封你P民一个账号难道还要提前预告？
腾讯微博就是一个典型的国产微博，十分严格的审查制度，大量被屏蔽敏感词，然后就是从界面布局到功能都是完完全全的复制twitter。不过你要是说腾讯完全不会创新，那你可就是诬陷他了。看，这么牛逼的快捷输入方式，可是一般微博做不到的！

Today, I posted a complaint on Mtime about its unveiling spoilers on AIW, then came up with tens of comments saying I am so self-righteous to represent them to make such a complaint. They think it’s ok to be told about the details of a yet-unshown film, even when it ruins all the surprises. And how would I be willing to represent these mindless fools?

[卫报]你的车知道你的小秘密吗？
3/4/2010 - Project
Why the car you drive says nothing about you
It used to be so easy – German-built good; made in Japan bad. But these days, cars are learning to keep their owner's secrets
以前的说法很简单：德国制造，必属精品，日本制造，必属废品。但是现在，我们的爱车也学会了掩盖我们的小秘密。

The Observer, Sunday 28 February 2010
Article history
Designers at work on Aston Martin's diminutive £20,000 Cygnet.
阿斯顿·马丁的设计师们正在制造这款价值20,000欧元的轻型小天鹅汽车。So, what you driving these days?" It's an innocuous question, and one that's posed with blood-cooling regularity. At face value, it's just a dull, conversational opener. No one's actually interested in what you drive, and if they wanted a more stimulating chat they'd ask you something more left-field: "Ever eaten ostrich?" "What do you think about the BNP?" "Are you allergic to latex?"
“你都开什么车来着？”这看似是一个很寻常的问题，但其字里行间却隐藏了一个潜规则。从表面上来看，这只是一句枯燥的、用来打开话匣子的寒暄。但实际上，没人对你开什么样的车感兴趣，并且，如果人们想要来一次更有品位的交谈，他们会问一些更为犀利的问题。比如：“吃过鸵鸟肉吗？”、“你对贝尔格（式）肾病有什么看法？”、“你对乳胶过敏吗？”
The reason people ask about cars is because the question is loaded. What they are really asking is: "How much do you earn?" "Are you on the way up, or is your business heading south?" We are all hog-tied by tedious social taboos which mean we have to ask boring questions with dopey looks on our faces. But it's the only way to get a straight answer.
所以，当人们问有关车的问题时，其实都是别有用意的。他们真正想要问的是：“你能拿多少工资？”、“你的事业正在走上坡路还是正在一路下滑？”我们都被各种各样的社交禁忌所束缚着，因此我们不得不板着脸来问一些213的问题，但这却是直接得到答案的唯一方法。
Traditionally, the answer would fall into a strict hierarchy. Anything German (Mercedes, Audi, BMW) meant things were looking up. Anything French or Italian (Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Fiat, etc) meant you had aspirations but not the wage package to back it up – berets on a budget. A Ford revealed you were financially astute. British stated that your commercial affairs were on the way to A&E. And admitting to a car from the Far East (Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai) was, of course, social suicide.
一般情况下，我们可以根回答来这样对号入座。开德国制造（奔驰、奥迪、BWM）这人生活超小康。法国或者意大利车（标志、雪铁龙、雷诺、菲亚特等等）意味着心有余而力不足——荷包不够坚挺。开一辆福特，表明你在投资理财方很理性。开英国车，说明你在财政上能挥霍自如。而至于开一辆亚洲制造的汽车（丰田、尼桑、现代），无异于是社交上自杀。
Today, however, the answer tells you nothing. Take Mercedes-Benz. It used to be known for its luxurious four-door saloons and was the preserve of well-padded Euro executives wielding burnished briefcases. That's still true, but now it also makes cars that appeal to the harassed school-run mum (the £14,290 A-Class) all the way up to a wallet-tingling two-seat sports car (the £346,000 SLR McLaren). Between these two is a host of saloons, coupes, estates and SUVs: 15 model lines in total. Plump for just one of these – say, the mid-range E-Class – and you'll find more than 50 variants on offer. If you are indecisive, buying a car will take you to the brink. It's a long way from Henry Ford's Model T when you could have it "in any colour as long as it's black".
而今天，这样的答案已经没有什么意义了。以奔驰为例，它过去却实是以奢华的4门会议厅式轿车著称，是手提闪闪发光的公文包、怀揣坚挺欧元的大老板的身份象征。在过去确实是如此，而现在，无论是土不拉叽的“妈妈送学车”（A-Class，价值14,290英镑），还是令荷包蛋疼的两座式运动跑车（SLR McLaren，价值346,000英镑），都可以是奔驰车。除此之外，还有会议厅式轿车、轿跑车、旅行车和越野车。奔驰一共有15种不同车型的生产线。我们随便从中挑选出一个来看，比如中档的E-Class，居然可以找到50种不同的款式。如果你犹豫不决，那么买车对你来说真的会是件痛苦的事。这可不是福特的Model T——“无论你想要什么颜色的款式，它都只有黑色。”
Sliding a key fob with Mercedes' famous three-pronged star across the bar now raises more questions than it answers. A survey carried out more than a decade ago found that Mercedes owners prefer to reverse their cars up their driveways and park facing the road – so that passing neighbours could appreciate their success. Today there'd be little point.
曾经令人羡慕的奔驰三角架式标志的钥匙扣，现在给你带来的困扰远远超过了它能给你带来的暗示。10年前的一份调查指出，奔驰车主们都喜欢把车停在车道上或者是面对马路的地方来显摆，以让那些打酱油的路人们心神不宁。而如今，这样OUT的行为已经十分少见了。
What about Volkswagen? VW used to conjure up a rust-pocked campervan or knackered Beetle. It meant cardigans, egg-stained ties and a well-used library card. Now you could be driving a cheap-as-chips city runaround (the £7,110 Fox), an über-luxurious VIP-transporter (the £75,230 Phaeton), an all-conquering 4x4 Touareg (£30,325) or even a sleek and stealthy Scirocco speedster (£19,660). And look at Volvo. The word itself used to be a byword for tarmac tedium. Now the Swedes have injected a large shot of espresso into its line-up. Their trendy new C30 will set anyone's pulse racing.
那么大众车又怎么样呢？大众以前是以大棚式露营车和娇小的甲壳虫为代表。很容易让人们联想到，身着羊毛衫、领系鸡蛋色领带的那种小资情调。而现在，你也许会开一辆超级廉价的大众都市家用小车（FOX，价值7,110欧元），也可能是一辆极为奢华的VIP轿车（辉腾，价值75,230欧元），又或者是一辆瞬间秒杀一切的4×4途锐（30,325欧元），甚至可能是一辆光鲜炫目的尚酷敞篷跑车（19,660欧元）。我们再看看沃尔沃（富豪）。其品牌名称在过去是一句有关tarmac tedium的谚语。而现在，瑞典人为其注入了新的含义。沃尔沃新款的C30誓要吸引每一个人的目光。
At the last count Audi offered 674 model permutations across its range. Too many? Not according to Audi's product affairs manager, Robin Davies. "We don't see this as being a negative," he says. "We believe it's not the extent of the range that's available, but the calibre of that range that defines a premium brand. After all, Cartier offers a very wide range of watches…" To underline this, Audi will be unveiling its new baby at the motorshow in Geneva next week. The German masters have boiled down all they stand for to create the A1 – a compact, upscale hatchback, selling for about £13,000. Unmistakably Audi, but in a highly concentrated form.
最后我们来看看奥迪，他们总共制造674种不同的车型。你是不是觉得太多了？奥迪公司的产品经理——罗宾·戴维斯可不这么认为。“我们可不认为这有什么不好的。”他说：“我们相信，这并不仅仅是现有产品线的延伸，这样丰富的产品正好是对我们的品牌的价值的最好诠释。至少，卡蒂尔也会卖许多种不同的手表……”值得一提的是，奥迪将会在下周的日内瓦车展上发布他们的最新车型。这位德国的汽车制造巨头倾尽全力，只为打造这一款价值约13,000欧元的高档斜背式小型汽车——A1。毫无疑问，这就是备受关注奥迪。
At a time when many retailers are moving towards specialisation, car makers seemed to have dropped their door policies and are letting anyone in. Even Aston Martin, the epitome of hand-built British sports cars, is currently at work on a £20,000 city car called the Cygnet (based on the brake-challenged Toyota iQ) due to be launched at the end of this year. And that's not really very 007; it's more 0.07.
曾经，许多零售商们都忙着向专业化转型，而汽车制造商们现在却纷纷都在降低自己的门槛以让所有人都能有机会来开开品牌车。即使是英国纯手工运动赛车制造商阿斯顿·马丁，现如今也开始生产一款约20,000欧元、名为Cygnet(小天鹅)的都市汽车了。这款以著名的丰田iQ为原型设计的汽车定于今年年底发售。当然，你到时将买到的可不是007牌的跑车，不过0.07还是有可能的。

Chinese New Year Eve Gathering I Had Today
2/14/2010 - Time Line
It is such an universal custom to have a family gathering at the end of the year and the beginning of the next. Heard that people from country side may still have strong sense of celebrating the new year, while I found, year by year, people around me are starting to lose passion for such a warm gathering. Some past away, and some say that we are together almost everyday and why must we make another special gathering?
I was wandering about what did we miss?
I don’t feel like recalling memories of old days, maybe I still remember that people used to get gathered, enjoy delicious dinner and play majiang with the Spring Festival Gala Evening live on TV, and of course kids expecting fireworks and gift-money of new year. But that makes no sense for me to discover why people are losing the willing to gather.
After an unusually simple new year dinner, I left my grandparents’ home, tonight, and called one of my mates for long-time-no-see’s sake. Then we decided to meet at the KFC nearby. So long a talk we had there, as old friends don’t really have any chances to meet these days. We talked about old days, about future and present, about people we know and about things we used to do. Yes, that’s just a normal old friends’ talking, however really quenches the missness.
Sunddenly, I realized that the missing part I am seeking for this fading gathering night is missness.
Perhaps I really don’t miss those people I meet everyday, but memories and people of the old times do remind me of something I don’t continuingly preserve today.

the iPad fits you

#ipadcn
Nowadays, we don’t need a PC to surf the Internet, to watch videos and share photos, to read or to do everything we have convenience to do on PC. Apple invented the revolutionary iPhone, it changes the way we ever use and need a phone before. And now they created iPad, an enlarged iTouch, or a totally new designed portable mutimedia device for you to enjoy every daily entertainment you want in anywhere anytime and in anyway! This time iPad didn’t change the way you use them, you don’t have to change yourself to fit it, cause it fits you.
每次看到这样具有革命性的产品诞生，我都会这样的鸡动不已。虽然499刀并不在我的接受范围内，但至少我知道了，这种以前只有在科幻片中才看得到的高科技，真的在不久的将来就可以走进我们的生活。
十年前，我还很羡慕父亲有一台传呼机，随时可以通过电话联系到他，十年后的今天，我已经随时随地可以用自己的手机上网、看新闻和发推了。相信十年后，我也能如宣传片中那样随心所欲的享受我的数字娱乐生活。
我不是苹果饭，但我为之折服，因为苹果将梦想带进了我们的生活。
