Google公司有个准则:You can make money without doing evil.就是说,不做坏事也可以赚钱,君子爱财,取之有道. Google 很阳光! 如果用这一点和国内的很多互联网公司相比,高下立判.反观国内的市场中赚钱就要做点坏事。不做坏事赚不到钱。

因为游戏规则的不健全,一些公司积累财富的过程也是积累罪恶的一个过程.没有人会按规则出牌.我们不妨看几个例子：

• 有的企业不顾用户的感受,甚至是用强制或欺骗的方式把产品安装在用户的机器上,不管三七二十一;
• 有的公司为了赚钱,吸引成千上万的未成年人沉迷于血腥的游戏,比如某个国内风头正劲的游戏公司;
• 有的公司为了引诱用户在线的时间,推出来所谓的等级制度,导致用户挂机,造成大量的电力浪费,所以那个企鹅越来越胖.
• 有的搜索引擎公司为了抢得一点市场,对竞争对手采用政策挤压,比如最近美国上市的那个;
• 有的大型 Blog 门户站点为了吸引流量,采摘大量的黄色擦边新闻(据说离上市已经不远,哦,侠客们终于不用起来挑战微软了);
• 有的什么书签站点也是任由这样的黄色擦边新闻内容飘满了整个页面,创办者到时候也不用满嘴抱怨了吧?

据Blog Herald报道，经过漫长等待之后，Google新闻终于推出了RSS订阅服务，而且包括RSS和ATOM两种“格式”。有了RSS，人们就可以抛弃通过电子邮件订阅的“新闻快讯”了。订阅Google新闻关键词监控的RSS地址形如：

美中不足的是，目前Google新闻的RSS服务似乎还只是针对英文网站的（详见这里）。

A lone clone piglet in Hebei

From Xinhua:

The report quoted scientists as saying that cloned pigs would be useful for organ transplants and scientific research, as well as for improving pig species.

I’m just playing with a script that grabs del.icio.us links and posts them as a blog item.

"...and you, and you, and you were there."

Zhang Pimin, assistant director of the Film Bureau within the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT), said that since Ah Sou is a joint production, distributors are acting in violation of regulations by showing it in Hong Kong while it has yet to pass review on the mainland.

But there's nothing that explicitly prohibits a jointly-financed film from showing only in Hong Kong; last year's Jiang Hu was barred from the mainland, but it wasn't called out when it opened in Hong Kong. The regulations merely require that the same version show in both regions, so producers are not allowed to take an explicit version showing elsewhere and cut it to get it past the mainland censors. Calling Ah Sou "illegal" may simply be SARFT trying to rationalize blocking the film, since the film bureau has not clearly stated the reasons behind the delay.

So what do the script doctors at SARFT recommend? According to rumors (because movie industry folk no longer want to speak on the record about Ah Sou), the censors are partial to an "It was all only a dream" scenario. They propose bookending the movie with scenes of another character in whose imagination all of the violence and disruption of social order take place.

What’s MSN Search doing? How are we doing it? Where are we going? As mentioned on JobsBlog and on AlwaysThinking, MSN Search is going to be in Silicon Valley tonight.
