閱讀PC3雜誌，今期的Cover Story是「防毒似乎秘密下載點大公開」。原來在Microsoft At Home網站中，提供了一些超長試用期的防毒軟件(甚至是Firewall)。最厲害的莫過如Computer Associates的EZ Antivirus提供長達一年之試用期。十分厲害。 對於像Jan般暫時只用Freeware防毒軟件的用戶來說，這就有一個機會「好好地」試用一些商業產品了。...

從WebLeOn那邊得知，del.icio.us推出了del.icio.us Firefox Toolbar。其實也沒有甚麼特別功能，只是將幾個del.icio.us的功能放在一處，其實與將Bookmarklet放在自己的Bookmarks Toolbar無異。 Toolbar中最特別的就是那個「about this page」功能，讓我們得知一個網頁在del.icio.us被Bookmark的情況。 大概這個Toolbar還在非常Beta的階段，因為用以提供下載結連的網頁仍十分Raw，只有幾隻字。 WebLeOn在自己的Blog Post中還介紹了「for:username」的Tag，可用來將書籤推介給朋友，蠻有用的。...

引用自SocialBrainFoundation的邮件列表：

创意设计出来了，用来自丽江的纳西族人的东巴象形文字的"网"字做大会的标志。

1、代表这是中文网志写作者的聚会；
2、用少数民族的文字，来代表多样性的文化；

大家看看感觉如何？

To get rich is glorious.It's going to be briefcases full of Mao-notes for a while longer - the People's Bank of China has denied rumors that it was preparing to issue a new note containing Deng Xiaoping's image. The image here, obviously a digital mockup, had been posted to online messageboards with the message that the central bank had decided to issue a 500-yuan note as part of its 6th series or RMB notes. It seems appropriate for the architect of China's market reforms to be worth more than the Great Helmsman, but unfortunately the central bank feels that the time is not right - a higher denomination would feed fears of inflation (never mind that 100 yuan no longer buys what it did in 1987). And the final note of the 5th RMB series, the green 1-yuan, was just issued last year, so it's a bit early for a 6th series. Will the rumor die? Probably not, since apparently no one listened to the explanations when the Deng-note circulated on message boards last December. None of the articles reporting on this latest instance make mention of the earlier Beijing Times investigation. Look for it to pop up again some time next winter. Links and Sources People's Daily Online: Central Bank denies the issuing of 500-yuan RMB note Guangzhou Daily (Chinese): Has a new 500 RMB note been released? The Central Bank refutes the rumor. Beijing Times (Chinese): Fake 500 yuan RMB appears online

We're in the middle of a heat wave here in Beijing, and there's nothing so refreshing as kicking back with a cold one. So it's not exactly welcome news to learn that 95% of China's domestically-produced beer contains formaldehyde, much of it exceeding the national standard of 0.2ppm by up to six times. This is not entirely a new revelation, however. Two years ago the Shenzhen-based company that produces Kingway beer started advertising that its product was the first domestic beer to be formaldehyde-free, which led other brewers claim to have dropped formaldehyde years before. This may be true for major breweries, but for the vast majority of local Chinese beers, formaldehyde is a low-cost way to improve the color and shorten the brewing time of cheap beer. According to the Global Times investigation, brewers' claims of being "formaldehyde-free" usually only applies a few of their products. An industry insider says, "Upper-shelf beers don't use formaldehyde, but for the one- or two-kuai beers there's no choice but to add formaldehyde, since costs can't be kept down otherwise." The article also goes to the man-on-the-street, in this case a taxi driver who drinks two bottles a day, for the public's reaction: "It's depraved, what they're doing." Going to classier establishments is not going to save you, either. The Beijing News reports that the same 7-mao beer that sells for one or two kuai on the street is being repackaged and sold to bars and karaoke parlors as Corona, Budweiser, or Heineken. So, anyone for some baijiu?

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Yahoo! on Monday to speak. I know this because an all-company e-mail message came out a few days ago to let us know. After his talk, he'll be doing a bit of Q&A, so it also asked us to submit questions to an anonymous e-mail address. But the message didn't say who is screening the questions or offer any guidance at all. It also says that the event is not open to the public...

I'm so sick of getting "link exchange" email. Even funnier is when it comes to the admin address for the Yahoo! Search blog, like this one: Dear Webmaster, My name is Maria Foster, and I run the web site Web Development & Software Solutions: http://www.clearpathtechnology.com/ I recently found your site http://www.ysearchblog.com and am very interested in exchanging links. I've gone ahead and posted a link to your site, on this page: ... Of course, a nearly identical message typically comes...

今天从日志中发现了yandex bot这个SPIDER，去网上搜了一下：原来是yandex.ru这个俄文搜索引擎。

几乎每天都可以在网络上发现新的一些应用，无论是涉及RSS、tag、SNS还是wiki等等，这些创新的点子与应用层出不穷，有点让我无暇更仔细地去作进一步的学习和思考，甚至往往会把它们遗忘在我的美味书签收藏里。我想不妨不定期将其中值得注意的新应用整理到blog上来，方便日后的回顾。其实通过良好组织的美味书签的tag也能够实现这一目的，不过我想经过文字的描述应该能够让自己更有印象，而且这个过程也能促使自己至少认真地去了解这些创新，而不只是加入书签了事。 BlogBridge: Blogbridge是一个开源跨平台的桌面RSS阅读器。在已经显得非常拥挤的RSS阅读器市场似乎每天都会有新的产品出现，而Blogbridge则有些与众不同的特点：不仅仅是个桌面阅读器，而且还带有网络同步平台；会根据用户的阅读行为对Feed进行评价；会根据用户的关键字替用户发现新的Feed；用户可以按照未读内容的数目、评价高低以及用户监视的关键字出现次数多少来对Feed进行排序，方便用户选择最想看到的内容。Blogbridge这些带有部分人工智能的功能对于解决RSS过载问题会提供不小的帮助。虽然据丁勇说，它目前还不支持中文，但仍然是个值得留意的有潜力的阅读器。 参考阅读：Robin Good：The Personal RSS Reader And Aggregator For Everyone: Cross-Platform, Open-Source, Free RSS Wiki：记得最早是在duduwolf的blog上看到他提过“如果建立一个如‘RSS可以做的事’这样的wiki系统，我相信大多数人肯定能共同维护出一个非常棒的Rss Tips”，现在真的有人这样做了。Tim Yang建立了一个可以用RSS来做的N件事的Wiki，目前已经有39件事。Ken对此进行了介绍（不过他介绍的时候wiki上只有37件事）。可惜上面介绍的不少事都还没有对应的国内版本，希望更多国内的服务商能够从中发现灵感，让我们在国内也能够用RSS做更多的事。 360Doc：360Doc个人图书馆这个特色网摘服务也来自duduwolf的介绍，它不仅能够保存全文，而且还可以自动生成摘要，并通过文章关联技术生成相关文章，还支持朋友圈等部分SNS功能，颇有新意。但360Doc有个潜在的问题在于它忽视了版权，收藏的文章完全取消了原链接，有些甚至没有原作者，这是360Doc需要马上着手解决的问题。 问必答：问必答是飞戈开发的一个Web2.0版的新浪iAsk，说它是Web2.0版是因为它使用了tag、RSS、Ruby On Rails等一般认为Web2.0的元素。不过以我对Web2.0粗浅的理解，新浪的爱问（即现在的爱问知识人，而不是那个搜索引擎爱问）这种以用户为中心的，by users, for users的应用本身其实也已经带有Web2.0的特色。不过问必答提供的tag和RSS以及部分SNS特色的应用可能能够发展出比爱问更有趣的服务。 一起来（i170.com）：一起来i170也是本周国内网络界，至少是Blog圈比较热门的一个话题，与问必答一样它并不是模仿国外的某个网站而开发出来的中文版。比较详细的说明可以参考下面的两篇文章： 吴鲁加：蓄势待发的一起来 宇义：一起来试用手记 Digg：Digg是个提供技术新闻的网站，与其他IT新闻网站不同的是，它的新闻重要性不是由网站的编辑决定，而是由用户来决定的。在Digg中，用户可以自由提交IT新闻的链接到相应的类别中，如果其他用户觉得这条新闻重要或者有价值，就可以点击dig按键，当点击的用户达到一定程度，这条新闻就会呈现在dig的主页或者是该类别的主页上，新闻筛选的过程完全由用户来决定。 Box.net：Box.net提供的是收费网络硬盘服务，不过于一般的网络硬盘服务不同之处在于，它提供了RSS通知服务，这样当你上传了某个文件之后，所有订阅了你的RSS的用户都可以通过RSS收到你的文件更新以及下载链接。对于朋友之间分享video、照片甚至对于那些独立音乐人发布自己的音乐作品，这种RSS文件分享服务都可以找到自己的用武之处。

Still very draft

Things have really been going downhill since I upgraded to Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) a few weeks back. Aside from the fact that I use the notebook less and less every week, two new annoyances have surfaced: Mozilla Firefox has become wickedly unstable. Yes, I've been running all the latest official builds. And I've tried disabling all my extensions. But it still manages to crash 2-3 times per day if I use it for any length of time. It...
