Cool Atom Watch Hardly Tells Time

Cool Atom Watch Hardly Tells Time: "

Dig this, perusing the product page for the Atom Watch  reveals the lovely sales pitch: “perfect for pondering space and time.” It’s awkward enough to convince a person to buy. As a stylish accessory, the Atom Watch is top notch. As a timepiece, uh, it kinda falls short of expectations.

網友不再使用Facebook的四大可能理由

網友不再使用Facebook的四大可能理由: "



Facebook的美國用戶究竟有沒有在今年五月銳減600萬人,已經成為這兩天科技新聞爭論的焦點,不過無論如何,這項消息還是不禁讓人好奇:是什麼理由會讓網友開始放棄這個被稱為世界第三大國家的社群網站。以下就列出四大理由,嘗試解釋究竟是什麼原因會讓美國網友想要放棄自己社交生活的代名詞-Facebook:


 1.   
調查數據有誤


根據Facebook的說法,這其實這是個誤會:宣稱Facebook用戶驟減600萬人的流量統計網站Inside
Facebook拿錯數據了,把用來估算Facebook廣告覆蓋人口的工具當作用戶數目來算。不過,Inside
Facebook也提出comScore、Compete、Quantcast 與Google Ad
Planner等第三方調查機構的數據來佐證,不過顯然誰是誰非還很難斷定:當一些調查機構顯示Facebook用戶數仍驚人成長、另一些則指出衰退趨勢。


 2.   
用戶隱私持續惡化



Facebook侵犯用戶隱私的歷史可謂罄竹難書,以最新的例子來說,未經用戶授權就將臉孔自動辨識功能設為預設,已經引起美國聯邦政府以及歐洲相關機構的高度關注,就連Google執行長Eric
Schmidt都說這項功能「讓人發毛」:如果連Google都說某項科技會讓人毛毛的,那可能就代表它真的很令人發毛。


 3.   
Facebook太過商業化



在過去Facebook代表的是有趣與新事物,但現在的它可能再也不有趣了:以最近占據版面的Facebook新聞來說,不是再次侵犯用戶隱私、就是Facebook市值可能破1000億美金,這些消息一點都不有趣。


 4.   
Facebook的功能太過一般化



網路文化正朝著專門化邁進,例如Instagram專攻照片、Foodspotting處理美食、GetGlue擅長影音多媒體、Soundtracking提供音樂……上述app都在它的特殊領域提供了市場利基,除了能擁有Facebook的分享平台帶來的好處外,還擁有自己分殊化的社群網路。

你所不知道的Bill Gates

你所不知道的Bill Gates: "

你所不知道的Bill Gates


全球第二富有的Bill Gates,在日前接受的訪問中,揭露了許多不為人知的個人趣事,以下就是重點整理:


1. 他將和英國首相在倫敦一起推出一個為2億4300萬名孩童接種疫苗的活動,預計耗資$37億美金


2. 他認為這個世界已經對癌症有許多關注,他再出手影響也不大,因此選擇了對抗瘧疾


3. 他對疫苗討價還價,以降低價格並追蹤接種的孩子數量


4. 在第三世界中,沒有人認識他,因為他與他們的世界不相關


5. 他的餘生將奉獻給他的基金會,所以不可能再回Microsoft全職工作了,現在那只是兼差


6. 截至目前為止,他已經捐出了$280億美金在慈善事業


7. 雖然一頭栽進慈善領域,他還是對科技世界瞭如指掌,並預測下一個重點會是語音辨識技術


8. 和電子書比起來,他比較喜歡傳統的實體書,不過仍然相信電子書閱讀器遲早會佔領世界


9. 他有Twitter帳號,Facebook卻只能作罷,因為請求加他為好友的人數實在太多


10. 他的小孩會用火星人布魯諾(Bruno Mars)的「Billionaire億萬富翁」這首歌歌詞來消遣他


11. 他覺得讓三個小孩繼承太多錢不太好,所以每個孩子將'只會'得到$1000萬美金(他的財產淨值是$560億美金)


12. 如果他的小孩吵著要iPad或iPod,他會給他們相等的Windows產品


13. 他的母親在他結婚當天,寫了一封尖酸刻薄的信給他老婆


14. 他與同樣熱愛慈善的U2主唱Bono一拍即合,因此U2到西雅圖表演時,就直接把Bono請到家裡過夜了


15. 他不小心稱馬克小子的女朋友為未婚妻,不過後來看來應該是他叫錯了
