最近在网上见到各种劣质Firefox广告的机会越来越大，地点包括QQ，QQ群，邮件，普通网站弹出广告，甚至Adsense——一些不知名的小网站甚至自己出钱通过Adwords来给它做广告，点击过去，还真的会有一页全部是Firefox的内容，上面有Firefox的下载链接。

这些站点都是中文的，虽然没有认真考虑，但可以想像，这些站长绝不会好心到给用户推广这个优秀软件。他们的目的我想只有两个，一是引用户到Google的推广链接，用户下载的话站长可以得到一些钱；二是很自然的，用这种方法来推广自己的网站，提升Pagerank排名。我想Google搜索引擎的几百个参数中也许对Firefox有格外的关照，才引得这些站长如此热心。

以前发现过一个给Firefox买Adword的小站，真点过去发现 Firefox只存在于该站的一个分支页面，而真正的站点是提供所谓英语学习大片的，并且他成功地让这个站点在几个关键词上排名第一，我想在这里这个简单 Firefox页面起到了巨大的作用。也许是现在这一招已经不太好使，或者被Google发现了，于是现在许多站都直接把主页做成Firefox，而把真实目的放在其他分支页面上，这样就更隐蔽了。

以上猜测告诉我们，偏好太简单就容易被人利用。

我是淘宝首页，大家都叫我“宝首”，可我的性格却并不保守，每天对上千万的淘友们一直满面春风。我自2003年诞生来，经历了数次整容，上一次还是2005年大家共同为我打扮的。 在内容越来越丰富的同时，我也渐渐感受到了压力。你知道吗？这些内容都塞满了我的肚子，可是我的骨骼还没完全成长开，也让我的笑容渐渐枯萎了。于是，我被再次推入了整容室，进行一次增肥术（大家把这次手术命名为“胖子”）。当我第一次从整容室出来的时候，我都快简直认不出自己了。我对着镜子左看右看，还是禁不住要和大家一起分享我的喜悦。 我的左上方是一块公告栏，最新的消息、最新的活动都能在这里找到。包括精彩的限时抢购活动、1元专区等，有助于您找到更便宜的宝贝。 我的右上方主要是精彩的资讯区，希望能迎合多种品味的淘友。 公告栏的下边是我的主力区域，三块内容希望能帮助您找到称心的商品。总地说来，淘宝集市的宝贝最为丰富；品牌商城提供了更多购物保障，二手闲置可以让宝贝流动起来产生价值。 我的主力区右侧是“便捷区”，四块内容分别是“游戏点卡”、“手机充值”、“机票”、“彩票”，在首页，您就可以快速进入查询、购买了。 下面我介绍一下增肥最显著的地方：宝贝类目，由原来的2列变为了3列，还添加了好多新的类目。如果您觉得哪些宝贝找不到，还可以点击“发布求购”按钮，让卖家主动上门联系您。 类目的右侧，全球购和促销区的领地，尤其是新增的促销区域，保证让您淘到最便宜的宝贝，但是记得要早点出手哦，否则就被人抢光了。 在类目下面，“购物指南”、“社区精华”、“淘宝大学” 这三块区域包括很多买家、卖家的经验之谈，希望您的文章也有一天能刊登在此。 下面来看看我变胖后的整体效果吧：

作者：范菲菲 孙燕 市场部 云南理工大学——大理国“怪事”多 2007年3月29日星期四， 云南理工大学，晴热 大家都听说过云南十八怪，此站确实遇到了很多“奇怪”的事情。 第一怪：讲师上台不许下。按之前的计划，雅虎搜索产品总监张勤演讲的时间是20分钟，但是实际上演讲了一个多小时，现场气氛异常火爆，提问的学生络绎不绝，精彩的演讲和回答博得学生雷鸣般的掌声。 第二怪：工作会议夜里开。由于每站时间间隔很近，金犊奖工作人员到达昆明时已是凌晨1点多，我们连夜开会沟通当天的工作安排。这时候才发现昆明夜里都堵车，凌晨3点和北京的下班高峰差不多，看来春城的经济也在飞速发展^_^ 第三怪：云南理工名声响。本次金犊奖承包方云南理工大学已经成为当地最大、最有影响的学校，吸引了13所高校的学生参加，多功能厅已经挤满了学生，听到学生最大的抱怨是“真该早点就来占座位！” 第四怪：云南学生动作勇。当我们从会场回到酒店的路上大约20分钟的时间里，已经收到了不少学生报名参加雅虎校园大使招募活动的自荐信。 来到校门口时艳阳高照,是个好彩头 学校的同学在帮忙时投入了很大的热情 面容灿烂的得奖者们 山东科技大学——蓬莱之境有仙人 20007年4月6日 星期五 山东科技大学 晴 山东省青岛市，传说中的蓬莱之国也,而青岛之行更让我们深深的感受到了山东人民的热情。 让我们欣慰的是——山东科技大学的校长本人就是雅虎产品的忠实粉丝，多年来一直使用雅虎邮箱及相册。在知道雅虎是金犊奖的赞助商后，校长粉丝连夜将会场改在学校最大、最豪华的会场，并亲自协调其它高校的校长亲自参加宣讲会。 虽然山东科大距离市区大概要3个小时的车程，但为能一睹讲师风采，其它学校的同学清晨5点就从学校出发赶到这里。每位到场的同学都被吸引到雅虎展台，很多同在学义务担当我们的宣讲员并向同学们发放资料。雅虎每进入一所大学校园，都掀起一股雅虎热潮。 工作人员用热情感染着同学们 学校领导对本次活动给予了充分的重视 会场内座无虚席,后到的同学在后排站着观看完了整个活动,着实让我们感动和欣慰 广州大学城——让人有种回到校园的冲动 2007年4月13日星期五，广州美术学院，晴热 广州大学城位于广州旁边的番禺，从市区到大学城有通达的高速，Brian从机场折腾到市区酒店再赶到大学城的会场，整整坐了三个小时的出租。大学城建在一个独立的小岛上，包括了5所大学，鸡犬相闻的感觉甚重，不分彼此。由于没有时间参观，就重点说说本次金犊奖宣讲会的承办学校——广州美术学院。 从高速上下来坐着出租寻找广美的路上，常见双人或者三人的自行车，学生们自得其乐地穿行在宽阔平整的马路上，车辆稀少，颇有电视里美国小镇的清闲之感。 广美的整个校园以钢管艺术风格的建筑穿插成一个整体，红色的砖墙灰色的粗钢管，如果身处二层，那么就可以永远不用下楼了，宿舍、教学楼、图书馆、食堂、包括体育馆都在这一层，听说有个学生就这么生存了一个多月。 广美负责组织的团委干部们早在一个月前就联络了广州市20多所院校的老师和学生来参加当天的金犊奖宣讲会，导致千人的阶梯教室又一次人满为患。 我们被拦在了校门外，不让出租车进！ 漂亮的不知名植物映衬着红砖灰钢管建筑 一批赶制的气球，吹了我们一嘴染料味儿 创意还在继续 第十六届金犊奖的主题是创意燎原，如同官方网站上所言：“idea点子俯拾皆是，灵光一闪随时随地。不要低估生活里的每一个小火花。她们的能量每一个都足以燎原……”紧张巡讲会之后，我们正在期待同学们年轻活力的燎原创意。...

Dear all,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we are starting a Beta Test period for the W3C Markup Validator:

http://validator-test.w3.org/

The W3C Markup Validation Service, also known as "HTML validator", is a popular free service and software providing Web content authors a way to check Web documents.

The previous stable version (v0.7.4) of the validator was released last November, but work on the version 0.8 had been going for a very long time, and is now reaching maturity. With your help, we can fix remaining bugs, find issues with the documentation, and release version 0.8.0 within a few weeks. If you would like to help with this beta test, please see the section "Testing and reporting issues" below.

Changes

The small version bump between 0.7.4 and 0.8.0 can be misleading: this new version is packed with changes. There are a number of cosmetic and UI changes, but the biggest difference is under the hood: the new validator is using a new library as a wrapper around its main parser, resulting in drastic speed improvements, and a lot of interesting new possibilities.

Users of the validator are probably familiar with the note stating "The Validator XML support has some limitations". Be prepared to say good bye to such a familiar sight: while the 0.8.0 validator is still using the same base parser for validation (the excellent and venerable opensp), it now has an XML sidekick making sure XML-ill-formedness won't go unnoticed.

There are many more changes in this version, below is a summarized list of the main ones:

• New architecture, faster and more reliable, scaling better to the
• Improved interface for better usability, accessibility
• New feature: automatic cleanup of markup (with Tidy)
• New Feature: additional XML-WF check, for more reliable validation of XML-based languages
• Back by popular demand: document outline feature
• New feature: checking that the documents are sent with proper Internet Media Type (MIME type)
• New feature: for XML documents, checking that the xmlns is present, and properly set.
• New Feature: grouped messages, an alternate view to the sequential display of errors
• New Feature: Direct Input form can be pre-filled with basic document structure
• Added support for SMIL 2.1, XHTML Basic 1.1
• ... and quite a few bug fixes, too.

While Gmail is a great web mail service, the way it treats attachments might confuse some people.

In Gmail, you can't send executable files (.exe, .cmd) or ZIP archives that contain executables. To bypass this limitation, you need to rename the file and change its extension (don't forget to mention this to the person that receives your mail).

Although Google says you can't send attachments larger than 10 MB, Gmail is quite forgiving and lets you send files up to 13-14 MB, so you don't have to worry about size. If you need to send bigger attachments or you send your files to a lot of people, consider uploading them to a file hosting site (like QuickSharing or mihd) and including the URL in the mail. For documents that require collaboration and reviews, Google Docs is a good solution, while Picasa Web and Google Video are better options if you need to share photos and videos.

It's a good idea to select the files you want to attach before writing your email, because Gmail starts to upload them immediately, saving you precious time. If you want to be reminded to attach a file if you talk about attachments in your email, this Greasemonkey script is fairly good. To upload the files using drag and drop, install this Firefox extension.

Now that you sent your message, you may wonder how to retrieve it in the future. To search for emails that contain attachments, use: has:attachment. If you know some words from the title of an attachment or its extension, add them: has:attachment filename:pdf or has:attachment filename:author filename:review. Unfortunately, the only searchable attachments are text files, so you may want to upload a plain text version of your documents if you need to search their content later.

Google offers you the option to view online a lot of file types: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint files, PDF, RTF and even edit Word and Excel files using Google Docs. This is a simple way to convert all these file types to HTML. You can also listen to MP3 files directly from Gmail.

While Gmail offers plenty of space (almost 3 GB), it's not a very good idea to use it for storing files. There are tools that make it easy to upload files to Gmail (the most well-known are the Firefox extension Gspace and the Windows application Gmail Drive), but Gmail was not created for this purpose, so they're just clever hacks. If you upload too many files, Google could even lock your account for 24 hours.
