Despite Tough Talk, Google Still Censoring in China
On January 12 Google claimed that hackers from China had attempted to break into its infrastructure, in order to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Because of those hacks, along with other malware attacks on Gmail accounts and ongoing concerns about the Chinese government limiting free speech on the Web, Google said in its blog that it was "no longer willing to con...
Google Buzz Makes Popular Users Less Overwhelming
The problem: since Google Buzz () pushes items into your inbox whenever new comments are left after yours, popular postings can become noisy. Today the Buzz team announced that they’ll “bump” popular postings less frequently to keep them out of your inbox. The team writes: If you’re following someone with a ton of followers, you’re probably used to seeing their posts at the ...
Google Forget to Google Before Naming Programming Language
It would seem Google failed to effectively use its flagship service before rolling out its much-ballyhooed new programming language "Go:" Another language already had that name, and a significant profile on Google's own servers. "Go!" creator Frank McCabe is up in arms over Google's "Go"; he's demanded the company change the name of its language so he doesn't have to chage the name of his own...

Trainspotters, eagle-eyed bloggers, and tech detectives of all stripes have had a field day with last night’s iPad commercial. At the very least, we got a pretty good look at some e-book prices, ranging from Ted Kennedy’s True Compass: A Memoir ($14.99) to Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Journey to Change the World… One Child at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin ($7.99). All gripping reads, for sure, and all more expensive than Amazon. In addition to all that, TUAW has made note of a New York Times button, possibly to bring up NYT bestsellers in the iBookstore. Delving deeper into the UI, a look at the Pages iWork app has revealed a button labeled My Documents (where have we heard that one before?). But Oscar night is not the only place for iPad leaks: according to a tipster named James Barcellano, close viewing of the iPad keynote video has revealed an “Open In…” button during the viewing of a PDF attachment in mail.

Beautifully Weird Human Shapes

Experimenting is one of the greatest things on all creative fields. I was surfing at fffffound and got to see some crazy, beautifully weird experiments, a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess.

They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.

Android 2.1 looking fast, furious on Motorola Droid

Alright, Droid owners, decent multitouch performance isn’t the only thing you’ve got to brag about. As you likely know by now, 2.1’s in the works for you — and from the latest video we’re seeing of an official test build running in the wild, we’re cautiously optimistic that it’s going to be a fantastic little update. As we’d reported some time back, the Nexus One’s revamped app launcher is missing, but multitouch appears to work like butter in both the browser and revamped Gallery app and the new news and weather widgets have made the cut as well. Most notable, though, might simply be the fact that everything flies — home screen switches, opening of the app drawer, zooming, it’s all mega-fast. Granted, anyone with an Android device knows that the speed of the device depends on the number of apps you’ve got running, the moon phase, and the direction of the wind, but it’s an encouraging sign nonetheless. Now if only Moto would stop fumbling the launch, we’d be good to go; in the meantime, though, check some video of the update after the break.

Your iTunes Collection Might Soon Live in the Cloud

Ever since Apple acquired music streaming service Lala in early December of last year, speculation has been flying surrounding exactly how Steve Jobs and company would incorporate the new assets into its wildly popular iTunes music service.Early signs pointed to the cloud, and how Lala’s unique “upload your own music collection” feature could be leveraged to make users’ tunes centrally located online and available from theoretically anywhere. Recent reports from CNet back up that idea with a few new potential details: Apple is supposedly talking with the top four major labels about offering a free streaming music service to consumers.

According to sources, Apple executives have discussed a cloud-based service where users could upload their music libraries to Apple servers. That music could then be streamed anywhere, to any Internet-connected device — potentially at no additional cost to consumers. The streaming service is being positioned as a “value add” that would boost further download sales instead of cannibalizing them.

冯正虎:上海国保警察沈国良用车撞冯正虎

2010年2月28日上午郭泉的辩护律师郭莲辉打来电话,他路过上海,想来看望我。我欢迎他光临寒舍,就放弃原定与 妻子一起去岳母家过元宵节的计划,在家等候远道而来的客人。其间,一位上海的古玉鉴定专家沈纯理先生也来拜访我。

中午12:00左右,郭莲辉律师由二位上海市民陪同,其中一位顾国平,我不是很熟悉的,另一位我根本不认识,但随同 郭律师登门拜访我家的人都是我的客人。我们聊了一个半小时,就起身去我家附近的餐馆吃午饭。

13:30左右,我们走到我小区的大门口,被一大批社区保安人员围住,其中有一位便衣警察要求郭律师跟他们去五角场 派出所,郭律师当场拒绝,要求有合法的证件才可以跟他们走。我对他们说:这是我的客人,我们要去吃饭了,有什么事等我们吃饭后也可以谈,是谁叫他们去?这 位便衣说:与你没有关系,是沈国良找他们。我说:他们是来我家做客的,你们又没有合法证件,你们要征求郭律师自己是否愿意配合。

后来,郭律师与二位市民被便衣警察请上小车子送到五角场派出所,我也不清楚为什么这么急匆匆传唤郭律师,我的感觉他 没有犯法,他刚到上海,已购了飞机票,明天回江西,只不过路过上海看望一下朋友而已。但愿是什么误会,他去派出所搞清一下就可以走了,他是一个律师会懂得 如何与警察打交道。

他们走后一会,大约14:00左右,我与沈纯理先生还站在小区的大门边,准备去吃饭。突然一辆深色的小桥车疯狂地朝 我冲来,撞到我的左腿,紧急煞住了。周围的许多人都惊呆了,这个司机疯了。门卫奔出来要追究这个司机,一看是国保警察沈国良。他开进小区,又转过头,我走 过去站在他的车前,大声谴责他:你想压人,我让你压。他又开过来撞我,我被撞出一步。这时民警小叶拉住我。杨浦区国保警察叶处长也在现场目睹此景。小区大 门上空安装的摄像头记录了这个事件的全过程。

爱情之所以,为爱情…

爱情开始的开始总是甜蜜的,
后来就有了厌倦、习惯、背弃、寂寞、绝望和冷笑。
曾经渴望与一个人长相厮守,后来,多么庆幸自己 离开了。
曾几何时,在一段短暂的时光里,我们以为自己深深的爱着的一个人,
后来,我们才知道,那不是爱,那只是对自己说谎。
你 以为不可失去的人,原来并非不可失去,你流干了眼泪,自有另一个人逗你欢笑,你伤心欲绝,然后发现不爱你的人,根本不值得你为之伤心,今天回首,何尝不是 一个喜剧?
情尽时,自有另一番新境界,所有的悲哀也不过是历史。
