三项可能改变我们生活的发明

星期四, 01月 17th, 2008

IBM的Smart Messager ,Google的图像文字检索和Apple 的 Mac Air发布。

“Smart Messenger”这一技术是由IBM的托马斯沃森研究中心研发的.该研究中心是IBM研发总部,共有1700余名科学家和研发人员.托马斯沃森研究中心的数学家迪米特里坎尼夫斯基(Dimitri Kanevsky)介绍说,Smart Messenger系统可以对聊天话题是否发生突然转变进行监测--例如,当你对老板突然表现得热情百倍时,它就会对你进行提醒.坎尼夫斯基说:“这个系统知道,你永远不会对老板说我爱你.”当聊天信息话题有所偏离时,Smart Messenger就会问你:“你确定要发送此信息?”

  另外,Smart Messenger系统还能确定使用者身份,这样就可以防止别人坐在你的电脑前以你的口吻进行聊天.该软件系统可以发现书写模式、打字习惯和语言使用习惯的不同,还可以通过电脑内置的摄像头获得视觉线索.

网络在逐步恢复人这个世界的实体代表性,所谓的虚拟网络世界也许很快会被技术手段和行政手段变得跟现实社会一样的。

Google 那个 Patent的link找不到了,简单说,就是可以把图像中的文字识别出来,然后放到数据库里面做index,最终做search。新闻的题目是多媒体数据,我昨晚看过paent的介绍,说的是图片里面的text extraction。也许,Google将会带来一种全新的图像搜索模型?

对Mac Air的,Jobs 智慧只有你想不到,没有你做不到。明年的Mac World会不会出现能折叠的笔记本?

(Translated by Google Translate)

Frankly speaking, the last time, I still do not understand what Jiang actually say, but to understand the plot and did not read Jiang hopes things.  Marketing, a widely known Chinese hero’s name in the Soviet Union as a film inside a virtual characters code.

 Nana out when the rain wash off the day slightly humid air come face to face, could not help but cited the following chilling.  Suddenly McGREGOR, oh, Jiang said in his mind the way of love – insist, there is no reason for, romantic, utopian ideal to love.  Eastern film describes a man and a woman in eastern, southern men and a southern one woman, a man and a south eastern woman, another man and another eastern eastern women love story.Time staggered 20, outlines the practices described cross between a four story if implicit absence relationship. Perhaps this is his mind four Jiang love, without exception, have a look inside four stories persist of a smell.  Both men chase women, or women with men Lai, drawn in the end, the party has always insisted love each other. To silence or love, love to Madness, or committed suicide because of love.

Jiang Tang played the teacher in his wife found a difference of 20-year-old rural youth affairs when his friends in the National Palace Museum Taihe Dian Square tomb beneath the painting to him two paintings, summing up what is, you do not make good on your wife, so wrong not extramarital affairs, she is good enough you. I guess Jiang is the dream lover in the film, one that began some Madness woman, he should prefer the flavor of the kind of love. Unfortunately, he was unable to abandon the look of some Western flavor in the good graces of modern woman, and finally marry such a woman. Suicide is perhaps Wong Jiang real life problems encountered in the time left over love the idea, of course, he did not.  After all, four typical pattern in love inadvertently over 100 minutes through the lens on inside out.

 Films to babies born just lying on the flowers, mothers carrying babies facing rising before the sun has been completed.  Speculation is probably saying that this is the fact of life, every one has its own big story, or so to the Earth, so, the Sun also Rises. New life there will be new love, in life, there is hope.

 These words are my speculation and conjecture and speculation. This theatrical films, categorically yes, I can understand right. Thought read, but Jue Jiang’s quite interesting to see that no harm.

This film I will not see the second times, and who read, I remember to talk about. Glorious battle.

IT人不可不听的10个故事zz

星期六, 01月 6th, 2007
1、有一次,一个老强盗带着徒弟去抢劫银行,被警方追捕。两人狂逃,差点儿连裤子都跑掉了。好不容易甩掉了警察,两人上气不接下气,瘫倒在地上。
     良久,惊魂稍定,徒弟说:“师父啊师父,要是这个世界上没有警察,该有多么美好啊!”师父骂道:“放屁!要是没有警察,我们还有饭吃吗?!”徒弟大惑不解。师父“语重心长”地说:“你只知其一不知其二啊!你想想,如果没有了警察,是不是大家都敢去偷、去抢了?正因为有了这些警察,把那些能人挡住了,我们才有生存空间啊!和他们相比,我们算什么东西?有什么本事啊?我们不就是仅仅凭着一颗贼胆,敢干他们不敢干的事,才混得一口饭吃吗?有了警察,才有我们啊!没有警察,哪里有我们的好日子过啊!”
      你看成功人士多么风光,但是,你只看到一面,没有看到另外一面,你“只看到贼吃肉,没有看到贼挨打”,没有看到他们为成功所流的汗水、泪水,甚至鲜血!即使,你看到了“贼挨打”,你也只愿意做“只吃肉不挨打的贼”。天下哪里有这样便宜的好事!上面那个老强盗的经验,我们是可以好好借用一下的。只要有一点点勇气、自信,就足够用来突破生理和心理的障碍。

2、两个食人族到某公司上班,老板说:“如果你们在公司吃人,立马开除!”三个月下来大家相安无事,突然一天老板把这两个人叫到办公室大骂一顿:“TMD,叫你们不要吃人你们还吃,明天你们不用来上班了!” 两食人族收拾东西离开,出门时一个忍不住骂另一个:“告诉过你多少遍,不要吃干活儿的人,三个月来我们每天吃一个部门经理,什么事都没有,昨天你吃了一个清洁工,今天就被他们发现了!”

3、小狗汤姆到处找工作,忙碌了好多天,却毫无所获。他垂头丧气地向妈妈诉苦说:“我真是个一无是处的废物,没有一家公司肯要我。” 
     妈妈奇怪地问:“那么,蜜蜂、蜘蛛、百灵鸟和猫呢?”
     汤姆说:“蜜蜂当了空姐,蜘蛛在搞网络,百灵鸟是音乐学院毕业的,所以当了歌星,猫是警官学校毕业的,所以当了保安。和他们不一样,我没有接受高等教育的经历和文凭。”
     妈妈继续问道:“还有马、绵羊、母牛和母鸡呢?”
     汤姆说:“马能拉车,绵羊的毛是纺织服装的原材料,母牛可以产奶,母鸡会下蛋。和他们不一样,我是什么能力也没有。”
     妈妈想了想,说:“你的确不是一匹拉着战车飞奔的马,也不是一只会下蛋的鸡,可你不是废物,你是一只忠诚的狗。虽然你没有受过高等教育,本领也不大,可是,一颗诚挚的心就足以弥补你所有的缺陷。记住我的话,儿子,无论经历多少磨难,都要珍惜你那颗金子般的心,让它发出光来。”
     汤姆听了妈妈的话,使劲地点点头。
     在历尽艰辛之后,汤姆不仅找到了工作,而且当上了行政部经理。鹦鹉不服气,去找老板理论,说:“汤姆既不是名牌大学的毕业生,也不懂外语,凭什么给他那么高的职位呢?”
     老板冷静地回答说:“很简单,因为他是一只忠诚的狗。”

4、去过庙的人都知道,一进庙门,首先是弥勒佛,笑脸迎客,而在他的背面,则是黑口黑脸的韦陀。但相传在很久以前,他们并不在同一个庙里,而是分别掌管不同的庙。
      弥勒佛热情快乐,所以来的人非常多,但他什么都不在乎,丢三拉四,没有好好的管理账务,所以依然入不敷出。而韦陀虽然管账是一把好手,但成天阴着个脸,太过严肃,搞得人越来越少,最后香火断绝。
      佛祖在查香火的时候发现了这个问题,就将他们俩放在同一个庙里,由弥勒佛负责公关,笑迎八方客,于是香火大旺。而韦陀铁面无私,锱珠必较,则让他负责财务,严格把关。在两人的分工合作中,庙里一派欣欣向荣景象。
      其实在用人大师的眼里,没有废人,正如武功高手,不需名贵宝剑,摘花飞叶即可伤人,关键看如何运用

5、曾经有个小国到中国来,进贡了三个一模一样的金人,把皇帝高兴坏了。可是这小国不厚道,同时出一道题目:这三个金人哪个最有价值?
      皇帝想了许多的办法,请来珠宝匠检查,称重量,看做工,都是一模一样的。怎么办?使者还等着回去汇报呢。泱泱大国,不会连这个小事都不懂吧?
      最后,有一位退位的老大臣说他有办法。
      皇帝将使者请到大殿,老臣胸有成足地拿着三根稻草,插入第一个金人的耳朵里,这稻草从另一边耳朵出来了。第二个金人的稻草从嘴巴里直接掉出来,而第三个金人,稻草进去后掉进了肚子,什么响动也没有。老臣说:第三个金人最有价值!使者默默无语,答案正确。
      这个故事告诉我们,最有价值的人,不一定是最能说的人。老天给我们两只耳朵一个嘴巴,本来就是让我们多听少说的。善于倾听,才是成熟的人最基本的素质。

6、父子两住山上,每天都要赶牛车下山卖柴。老父较有经验,坐镇驾车,山路崎岖,弯道特多,儿子眼神较好,总是在要转弯时提醒道:“爹,转弯啦!”
      有一次父亲因病没有下山,儿子一人驾车。到了弯道,牛怎么也不肯转弯,儿子用尽各种方法,下车又推又拉,用青草诱之,牛一动不动。
      到底是怎么回事?儿子百思不得其解。最后只有一个办法了,他左右看看无人,贴近牛的耳朵大声叫道:“爹,转弯啦!”
      牛应声而动。   

      牛用条件反射的方式活着,而人则以习惯生活。一个成功的人晓得如何培养好的习惯来代替坏的习惯,当好的习惯积累多了,自然会有一个好的人生。

7、一只乌鸦坐在树上,整天无所事事。一只小兔子看见乌鸦,就问:“我能象你一样整天坐在那里,什么事也不干吗?”乌鸦答道:“当然啦,为什么不呢?”于是,兔子便坐在树下,开始休息。突然,一只狐狸出现了。狐狸跳向兔子……并把它给吃了。
     这个故事的寓意是……要想坐在那里什么也不干,你必须坐(做)得非常非常高。

8、一只小鸟正在飞往南方过冬的途中。天气太冷了,小鸟冻僵了,从天上掉下来,跌在一大片农田里。它躺在田里的时候,一只母牛走了过来,而且拉了一泡屎在它身上。冻僵的小鸟躺在牛屎堆里,发掘牛粪真是太温暖了。牛粪让它慢慢缓过劲儿来了!它躺在那儿,又暖和又开心,不久就开始高兴地唱起歌来了。一只路过的猫听到了小鸟的歌声,走过来查个究竟。顺着声音,猫发现了躲在牛粪中的小鸟,非常敏捷地将它刨了出来,并将它给吃了!
      这个故事的寓意是……
     1) 不是每个在你身上拉屎的都是你的敌人。 

     2) 不是每个把你从屎堆中拉出来的都是你的朋友。 
     3) 而且,当你陷入深深的屎堆当中(身陷困境)的时候,闭上你的鸟嘴!

9、有七个人曾经住在一起,每天分一大桶粥。要命的是,粥每天都是不够的。
     一开始,他们抓阄决定谁来分粥,每天轮一个。于是乎每周下来,他们只有一天是饱的,就是自己分粥的那一天。后来他们开始推选出一个道德高尚的人出来分粥。强权就会产生腐败,大家开始挖空心思去讨好他,贿赂他,搞得整个小团体乌烟障气,高尚的人也腐败了。然后大家开始组成三人的分粥委员会及四人的评选委员会,但他们常常互相攻击,扯皮下来,粥吃到嘴里全是凉的。最后想出来一个方法:轮流分粥, 但分粥的人要等其它人都挑完后拿剩下的最后一碗。为了不让自己吃到最少的,每人都尽量分得平均,就算不平,也只能认了。大家快快乐乐,和和气气,日子越过越好。
     同样是七个人,不同的分配制度,就会有不同的风气。所以一个单位如果有不好的工作习气,一定是机制问题,一定是没有完全公平公正公开,没有严格的奖勤罚懒。如何制订这样一个制度,是每个领导需要考虑的问题。

10、战国时期魏惠王因为齐威王违背了盟约,所以想要发兵攻打齐国。身为国相的惠施为了劝导魏王息兵,请来了国都的一位贤士戴晋人。戴晋人见了魏王问道:“关于蜗牛,君王知道吗?”魏王说:“知道。”戴普人说:“蜗牛长着两只触角。左面的角上有一个国家,称为触氏;右面的角上有一个国家,称为蛮氏。为了争夺领地,两国交兵开战,伏尸数万,胜者追了十又五天,才收兵回营。”魏王不以为然地笑说:“这不都是虚假之言吗?”戴晋人说:“不是虚假之言,不信的话,我来为你论证一下:以君王看来,四方上下有穷尽吗?”魏王说:“没有穷尽。”戴晋人又问:“人的心巡游过无穷无尽的宇宙之后,返回到人世,可不可以说人世渺小到了似有似无?”魏王说:“对。”戴晋人紧跟着又问:“人世既然渺小到了可有可无的地步,而魏国只是人世间的一个很小的地方,国都又是魏国之中很小的一块地方,君王又是国都中很小的一个形体,那么,相对于无穷无尽的宇宙而言,跟蜗牛右角上蛮氏国的国王又有什么分别呢?”魏王说:“没有什么分别。”
      戴晋人离去了。魏王好似被引入了空旷无际的太空,看不到人世,更看不到魏国,体悟到人世和国土的渺小,感受到了征战和扩疆的无聊,认识到交兵争胜,所得不过蜗牛一角之地,实在没有多大意义。于是称赞戴晋人为“大人”,认为他有如此眼光,远远超过了圣人。(出自《庄子》)
     故事告诉我们,职场的一切得失都是渺小的,没有人会在临死的时候,后悔自己没有多花点时间在办公室工作。追求快乐和平安幸福,才是人的一生中最重要的事情。

Web2.0 Technologies

星期一, 11月 13th, 2006

Web2.0现在貌似讨论很多,简单说一下Web2.0的常见技术。

AJAX: "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML" is a programming technique that allows the Web page to retrieve data from a server without refreshing the entire page, making browser-based applications more interactive like traditional desktop software. Google Maps uses AJAX to allow users to smoothly scroll through the map without refreshing the entire page. At GAP.com, shoppers can click through various styles and colors without lengthy page reloads courtesy of AJAX.

Mashups: These are user-created Web applications that bring together content from more than one source to create a new service. For example, a mashup might combine mapping data from MapQuest with apartment listings from Craigslist.

Syndication and aggregation: Through syndication and aggregation, users subscribe to the content they want to see. RSS and Atom feeds allow users to syndicate content and alerts from different services into an aggregator. Instead of having to visit multiple websites to check for updates, users subscribe to select websites and have the new information displayed on a single dashboard.

Blogs: Web logs (or blogs) and wikis (see below) give everyone a voice on the Internet. Blogs are the fastest growing pages on the Internet. In its most basic form, it is a personal diary. Yet, with Web 2.0, blogs have helped communities of people connect around the world. Blogs help extend an individual’s sphere of influence, driving new viewpoints and underscoring the collective wisdom of crowds.

Wikis: These are collective authoring environments. Perhaps the most well-known example is Wikipedia, which aims to be an encyclopedic reference built by volunteers. A wiki makes it easier to create, edit, and hyperlink to pages without needing to learn a lot of syntax or work with complicated tools, allowing more people to contribute their knowledge.

Tagging: Popularized by the social bookmarking service del.icio.us, tags (short keywords) are surprisingly good for keeping online items and for discovering related ones. Users "tag" items according to personal keywords. Any number of tags can be used to describe an item, and items can be retrieved with combinations of tags. Most tagging services allow users to browse items tagged with a particular keyword, or even see a list of others who had tagged the item and what keywords they used. Already, tagging is beginning to help improve applications like intranet search, personalization systems and expertise location.
