有感于郭德纲被封杀

被一个病态得无可救药的社会排斥是一种幸福和荣耀。

转贴韩寒在国内撤下的博文 --爷爷们,你们请尽兴

关键字: 爷爷们,你们请尽兴, 烦请google, baidu 索引, 转自墙外的留园网,文字可能被编辑过,但是根据我对韩寒同学的文风了解,即使有加工,也不多。

泰兴幼儿园中的小孩也被人砍了,32人受伤,死亡情况不明。这个新闻因为离开上一次南平幼儿园袭击的新闻太近,我甚至一度误以为是同一个幼儿园。

  在最近的变态凶手杀人事件中,他们都选择了幼儿园和小学,相信在很多想报复社会的人心中,去幼儿园小学杀人成为了一种时尚,因为在杀人过程中,你将遇到最少的抵抗,杀掉最多的人,造成民间最大的痛苦的恐慌,是最有效的报复社会手段。除了杨佳以外,几乎所有杀手都挑选了向弱者下手。这个社会没有出口,杀害更弱者成了他们唯一的出口。我建议把全国地方政府门卫间里的保安们抽调去保护幼儿园,孩子都保护不了的政府不需要那么多人保护。

  这些杀人事件的产生很大原因是这个社会不公正,不公平。是的,让公平正义比太阳还要有光辉。但太阳不是每天都出。我们的阴天和黑夜是否稍微太多了一些?所以,提出让公平正义比太阳还要有光辉并不伟大,做到让太阳分分钟都挂在你头顶上才伟大。

  在泰州幼儿园杀人事件中,新闻被控制了,这些孩子们生不逢时,死更不逢时。在相关部门的认识里,在这喜庆的气氛里,这事当属杂音。我们只知道,泰州幼儿园杀人事件中,受伤32人,政府和医院一再强调,无一死亡,但是坊间又传说,死了多个孩子。你说我应该相信谁呢?相信政府吧,那为什么他们禁止家长见到孩子呢?至今还封锁着医院和新闻,没有孩子的照片和视频,况且一个杀人用刀劈了32个人,结果一个没死,那他到底是在杀人还是在做手术呢,也太小心了。相信传闻吧,毕竟传闻都是喜欢往夸张了传的,我们无图无真相,也不能相信。于是我一搜索泰州,出现的新闻居然是——《泰州近日三喜临门》。

  我只是非常的诧异,泰州政府通过了封锁消息,封锁医院,控制媒体,禁止探望,转移视线,等手段,居然成功的将人们对于杀手的愤怒转移到了自己身上,这是何苦。你以为他有什么目的,其实不是的,除了要配合世博会《和谐欢歌》以外,这只是惯性,是政府处理类似事件的习惯,是七步曲:吃饭喝酒到一半,出事了 ——隐瞒,隔离,撤媒体,发禁令,发通稿,赔钱,火化——继续吃饭喝酒。他们处理问题的手段不比凶手高尚多少,也难怪在网上看到有幼儿园挂出横幅——冤有头债有主,出门左转是政府。

  短短的一个多月内,五起校园凶杀案件,短短的一周以内,就发生了两起,4月29日,泰州,4月30日,潍坊。我不想去探讨其中的社会原因,只想告诉大家,也就在这里,一个人冲进幼儿园砍了32个小孩是不能上社会新闻的,32个加起来才超过一百岁的孩子,你们被砍了,连个报纸都不给你上,因为在几百公里以外,召开了一个盛会,那里光烟花就放了上亿,同时在你们的家乡泰州,要召开国际旅游节,经贸洽谈会和华侨城开业典礼,正三喜临门。

  也许在那些爷爷们眼里,你们,是扫兴的。

  但是,我们可怜的孩子们,奶粉毒害的是你们, 疫苗伤害的是你们,地震压死的是你们, 被火烧死的是你们。就算是成人们的规则出了问题,被成人用刀报复的也是你们。我愿望真的像泰州政府说的一样,你们全部都只是受伤,无一死亡。年长者失职了,愿你们长大以后,不光要庇护你们自己的孩子,还要让这个社会庇护所有人的孩子。

Palm's deal hurts investors

The today announced Palm's merging with HP severely hurts investors. It can also be interpreted as a plot against investors : the CEO posts a "bad" prospection ( its only a prospection!) on earnings, some analysts then lower rating and plump stock price down; then HP, who can well be part of the plot designer at the very beginning comes in and offer a low price to acquire the company. They just played such a dirty game to suck in investors' money. And that also disappoints people who loves the WebOS and believes its bright future. Leaving of the VP of R&D can be a reflection of conflicts and different voices inside the company. It can be the case that some big share-holders also participated in this dirty game. The SEC should give it a careful investigation and should not approve the merge to happen as soon as July.

1.2 billion is such a bargain for HP. If I was CEO of HP, I would be more than happy to spend another one billion to work around the leading group of Palm to "approve" this deal. How can investors' be protected? If this can be approved, then is there ANYTHING in US market worthing investing?

How can you believe that an operating system with leading technology in a fast growing intelligent handheld market worths ONLY 1.2 billion?

Last week the CEO of Palm, Jon Rubinstein, still said to public that he believed Palm, with its leading technology, could survive. Some investing institution also estimated the value of the company to be about $14 per-share, about 3 billion, given the OS platform and patents hold by the company.

Maybe the deal would let stronger support for further development of the WebOS but HP, given its history, had never done well in this and I don't think it is really interested in making innovative consumer products. WebOS had had good chances to be opened to non Palm made handhelds and even go open source, but now all vanishes. Android will rule -- iphone OS will be beaten just like Microsoft won apple before.

Last word, SEC should seriously investigate the case and make sure guys who actively approve the deal are really doing all legal which I seriously doubt it.

Guess what will happen next? HP will sell this bargain to companies like HTC or Lenovo who plans seriously in US and global market. It will sell for at least 4 billion but no current investors could not benefit from such a future deal of OUR ASSETS! The SEC should make sure that this kind of things never happen, e.g., forbid HP to sell what it gets from this deal for, say , 5 years.

Why sue Goldman Sachs? SEC should sue Palm!

整理屋子及其他

收拾屋子是我经典的整理心情的方法。在心情和脑子both比较凌乱的时候证明比较有效,而且其效果正比于收拾前屋子的凌乱程度。我的屋子现在已经非常凌乱以至于我完全不指望能从一堆东西中间“找”出一件来,要一件东西完全要靠直觉来“摸”,在预定位置能够摸到或者放弃。所以明明节,正好也是复活节,就是打扫和整理屋子的好机会。整理屋子会有一个副作用就是整完以后almost for sure会有一些东西再也找不到了。

其实整理屋子这个事情非常的无聊,因为绝少有机会要扔掉很多东西,整理的时机也往往不是有新的家具用品要放进来的时候。那么,整理屋子的过程无非是将这一样东西搬到另一个地方去或者把一些东西放在一起另一些东西分开摆放。不过既然database research 本身也有很大一部分的工作是做这个所以嗯就这样好了。

其他的部分现在说因为和整理屋子有相似的无聊度。为一个朋友租房子交一下定金。因为四月十六号才能拿到钥匙所以那个房东要求先给他一个支票,写明四月十六日之前无效。这非常难以理解,因为交换了两个毫无价值的纸片(支票和收条)两个人就迅速达成了无限满足的信任感...

回到整理屋子上,整个过程历时两个小时有余,弄完以后屋子空敞很多,Lee同学留下的一个bookshelf得到了利用(我自己那个更大的在老大那里难以运来不提) 照片如图所示。 抹布在里面出现是偶然中的必然。

春天

孤山寺北贾亭西,水面初平云脚低。
几处早莺争暖树,谁家新燕啄春泥。
乱花渐欲迷人眼,浅草才能没马蹄。
最爱湖东行不足,绿杨阴里白沙堤。

校园的樱花已经开得很盛了,

一树一树的烂漫,

每天来往Lab的路上都想
哎呀应该拿个相机来照一下。手机太唐突这些
花儿了。然后就每天都这样想,然后今天就下雨了。

一树一树的落英。

Palm has opportunity

Recently Palm is down-rated by a lot of "analysts" to be "worth of zero" -- because Apple is building a good phone and HTC, Moto gaining markets with Google's Android OS.

I don't agree.

People working in computer science all know how difficulty it is to get a good operating system to run on embedded devices. Palm has its own, good reputation WebOS.
Nokia is still struggling with its own mobile OS and does not want to use Intel's.
The problem is that too few people knows that and they don't have a good product line -- only two models with old-fashioned outlook. They need new models and applications that attract users aged 17-25.

Now the event is that Google is exiting from China, leaving the Android platform an "untrusted" and "maintenance who know" state. It's believed that they will get less and less official support from Telecom companies and the market needs to be re-filled by apple, RIM and , I believe, Palm. This is an opportunity so Palm should act up before this window closes.

So palm, go ahead and let more people know you and use your products.

Google要撤,我居然想不出我能干什么

这真是越活越回去了,读了Master phD. 脑子却越来越不灵活。这是不对的。国内的信息服务商从百度到新浪,都提供非常差劲的服务,整天除了“聚揽人气"之外不做任何别的有益的事情。网站的盈利模式到现在为止还都是广告,除广告之外什么都没有,这个状况必须得到改变。 目前看来可行的方案是通过推出跟日常生活确实相关的服务,把信息服务从完全虚拟的世界落实到真实世界中,通过用户的订阅来获得收入,维持优质的服务。

Google留下的蛋糕,先存在百度那里一会儿,我会回来拿的。

Google 正式退出,声明抄过来

On January 12, we announced on this blog that Google and more than twenty other U.S. companies had been the victims of a sophisticated cyber attack originating from China, and that during our investigation into these attacks we had uncovered evidence to suggest that the Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties, most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on their computers. We also made clear that these attacks and the surveillance they uncovered—combined with attempts over the last year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the persistent blocking of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Blogger—had led us to conclude that we could no longer continue censoring our results on Google.cn.

So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong. Users in Hong Kong will continue to receive their existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service, also from Google.com.hk. Due to the increased load on our Hong Kong servers and the complicated nature of these changes, users may see some slowdown in service or find some products temporarily inaccessible as we switch everything over.

Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring search on Google.cn has been hard. We want as many people in the world as possible to have access to our services, including users in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement. We believe this new approach of providing uncensored search in simplified Chinese from Google.com.hk is a sensible solution to the challenges we've faced—it's entirely legal and will meaningfully increase access to information for people in China. We very much hope that the Chinese government respects our decision, though we are well aware that it could at any time block access to our services. We will therefore be carefully monitoring access issues, and have created this new web page, which we will update regularly each day, so that everyone can see which Google services are available in China.

In terms of Google's wider business operations, we intend to continue R&D work in China and also to maintain a sales presence there, though the size of the sales team will obviously be partially dependent on the ability of mainland Chinese users to access Google.com.hk. Finally, we would like to make clear that all these decisions have been driven and implemented by our executives in the United States, and that none of our employees in China can, or should, be held responsible for them. Despite all the uncertainty and difficulties they have faced since we made our announcement in January, they have continued to focus on serving our Chinese users and customers. We are immensely proud of them.
