The latest issue of Shanghai Managers featured "20 Years of Professional Managers" in Shanghai. The topic is good since the phenomenon of “20 year professional managers” is unique in China, and it involves many people just around us. The people and their stories told in the report are just like "manager sitting in the next cubicle" (just created this phase after "girl living next door"). Professional Manager is Still Rare in China The growth of the country’s economy benefits greatly...

Source favicon11:43 Gmail chat的老板键 » Blog on 27th Floor
有些公司为了种种不健康的想法,想尽办法封禁各种聊天工具,各种奇怪端口一律不开,这回Gmail chat似乎不管这个了,只要还开着浏览器就成了。

并且,这这个Chat还有老板键功能,首先可以用鼠标点聊天小窗口的标题栏,它会缩下去;这很不彻底啦,下面打开它,按一下键盘左上角的ESC看。俄的神啊,想人所想啊!

还有个小玩意,就是别人发来的那些个笑脸图标,虽然仍然显示成字符样,但它会慢慢转过来,转到正常的样子,实在不是一般的可爱。

靠,搞得我都想放弃https,用gmail chat玩玩。(沈从文:我靠,这么大个铁疙瘩都能弄上天,我都禁不住想入个党庆祝一下!)

[Update]Gmail里对标题中使用GBK编码的邮件已经进行了处理,现在可以正常显示了,但GB18030还不行。本来还设想过Greasemonkey的方法,可惜还没找到Javascript处理那种编码的方法

【表情符号】Gtalk支持的表情符号,官方页面上有列表。在Gmail chat里效果好。
Source favicon10:36 China Daily plagiarizes from The Onion? » Danwei RSS 1.0
net_cop.jpg
Hi there netizen: nothing to fear from me unless you are a terrorist or pornographer!

Has the China Daily once again mistakenly copied an article from satirical American humor website The Onion?

The below is extracted from an article on the state-owned daily newspaper's website:

Regulation of Internet in line with world norms

Regulation of China's Internet is fully in line with international practice, and the country welcomes foreign Web businesses to provide lawful services, a top cyberspace regulator said yesterday in Beijing.

Liu Zhengrong, deputy chief of the Internet Affairs Bureau of the State Council Information Office, also said Chinese people can access the Web freely, except when are blocked from "a very few" foreign websites whose contents mostly involve pornography or terrorism.

"Regulating the Internet according to law is international practice," Liu told reporters. "After studying Internet legislation in the West, I've found we basically have identical legislative objectives and principles."

The Chinese Government has been very "positive" in supporting the Internet and has enacted only necessary legislation to support its development, he said.

Answering a China Daily question on criticism in some foreign media of Chinese websites deleting netizens' messages, Liu said it is a common practice around the world to remove "illegal and harmful" information.

Some leading US websites, including those of Yahoo and The New York Times, have explicit stipulations when it comes to posting messages in forums, he said.

For example, The New York Times website says: "We reserve the right to delete, move or edit messages that we deem abusive, defamatory, obscene, in violation of copyright or trademark laws, or otherwise unacceptable We reserve the right to remove the posting privileges of users who violate these standards of Forum behaviour at any time."

Liu said "it is unfair and smacks of double standards when (they) criticize China for deleting illegal and harmful messages while it is legal for US websites for doing so."...

...When users are blocked access to some foreign websites, it is usually because these sites contain information in violation of Chinese law, he explained...

...Penalties imposed on websites carrying illegal and harmful information have been "lenient" in China, Liu said, adding no website has been shut down in the country for providing a few pieces of such information.

"No one in China has been arrested simply because he or she said something on the Internet," he said.

Liu said the country's Internet market is huge and open, adding: "I believe more foreign businesses will benefit from the increasingly attractive market."

No, that story is not from The Onion. It's 100% irony-free China Daily verbiage.

Source favicon06:30 Here comes Measure Map » Official Google Blog




My first post to my blog was a little paragraph about my obsession with cycling, and I remember feeling a little ... let down. Sure, it was remarkably easy. Write. Click a button. Reload. Cool! But then what? It wasn't until someone left a comment that I was hooked. An audience! Someone is reading!



It was this feeling that led to the idea of Measure Map. Our goal has been to use the power of web analytics to help bloggers feel that same sense of connection with their audience. Today, as the Measure Map team joins Google, our mission remains the same: to build the best possible user experience so people can understand and appreciate the effect their blogs - their words and ideas - can have.



I have to admit I'm addicted now. I bet I check my stats a half-dozen times a day, anxious to see if anyone has linked to me or see what posts are most popular today. Our users agree -- whether their audience is just friends and family or thousands of readers -- they're having more and more fun with their blogs and investing more time in them. And that means content across the web is getting better.



Bringing Measure Map to Google is an exciting validation of the user experience work I've been doing with my partners at Adaptive Path for years. By opening up the app to more bloggers through Google, we hope to help even more people become passionate about their blogs.



It has worked for me; I'm still posting about cycling. I wonder if wearing this is too much for my first day at Google?

Sports you never heard of, countries that don't exist, and an intricacy that defies easy understanding are all waiting for the Olympics data explorer. Architecture, town planning, painting, music, and sculpture all had Olympic medals once upon a time. The U.S. won these art competitions only once: art competitions Olympic medals United States.

Some big competitors of the past have fallen completely off the map: Soviet Union Olympic medals, Unified Team Olympic medals.

Source favicon02:17 Gmail hearts you » Official Google Blog


When I started at Google a few months ago, I moved to California and was really excited to explore the area. But at the same time, my girlfriend moved 1,000 miles away -- to Aspen, Colorado. (I'm sure she's a professional snow-bunny by now.) We both use Gmail all the time and are total chat junkies. So when I got the chance to work on emoticons for Gmail Chat, I knew just what to do: <3 Hearts!

So this Valentine's day, be sure to send your loved ones some low-fi <3 hearts. Of course they're free, and if you're using Gmail Chat, they're even pink.
