謠言: Nokia 可能會買 Palm.

Media_httpblogueproje_rnvwh
Bloomberg 來的消息 Nokia 可能會 offer 買下 Palm. 雖然這類別的公司要買下已經很殘憊的 Palm 的謠言已經很多了但這個消息對於 Palm 和 Nokia 其實都很合理. Palm 的產品 line up 在這一兩年大概只有 Palm Pre. 而 Nokia 雖然還是世界第一品牌, 但也都只能歸功於他們範圍廣闊的中下階級手機. 在高階手機上的 Symbian 與 iPhone OS 和 Android 的相比下已經只能算是老爺爺了. Nokia 需要的是 Palm 在只有不到 Nokia 1/10 的開發預算下開發出可以跟 iPhone OS 和 Android 相比的 WebOS 作業系統的技術, 而 Palm 需要金錢上的支援. 來源: Bloomberg 以使用者的角度來看這兩家公司的合併真的是很合理. 我一直認為 Nokia (或者瑞典這個國家) 是一個很像日本的一個公司 - 帶有很強烈特色的封閉感.  他們帶著與其他國家不同的北歐文化做工業設計, 但在軟體上卻顯得出小國家能力和經驗上的不足. Palm 卻是一個很傳統的美國公司, 因為資本主義所以設計出來的東西是最合理但也最沒有美感的產品. 因為所有東西都要合理, 不是 business, 就是 business 或者還是 business. Consumer 要什麼做了就對. 如果能把這兩項軟體跟硬體上的優點合併應該能在市場上造成不小的影響. 單然實際上也不可能那麼完美, 拭目以待就是了!

N900 & Maemo 5

[pro-player width='520' height='316' type='video']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au_uRmoy8Fs[/pro-player] 有點等不及了. 不過 N900 有什麼 iPhone, Android, Palm Pre 沒有的呢? 好像也沒有, maybe multi-tasking, 不過, 幹, 在一支 portable device 上多工到底是能多有效率.

怒! *翻桌*

[pro-player width='530' height='322' type='video']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnqbE3SgbK8[/pro-player] 女朋友要跟你分手嗎? 需要 relief 嗎, 來翻桌吧. 翻桌其實是很有日本文化的一個動作...我到蠻想看有帶著美國文化的打老婆的遊戲.

Rudenko - Everybody feat. Charleene Rená

最近很迷的歌, 雖然很少聽 club 或者 dance hits. 是來自俄羅斯的 DJ Leonid Rudenko 所作的. 我對背景那個敲打樂器實在是無法抵抗 :P

iPhone 3G vs Nokia N97 vs N900

時常換 3G gadget 的人除了喜歡嘗鮮以外多少都是應該在找一個最適合自己, 一個屬於自己的產品. 至少對我來說是這樣的. 叢生活習慣上

For Sale: affordable & reliable 2003 Mazda6i Reduced price!

Media_httpblogueproje_zacxe
I'm selling my trusty black mazda 6i. This car stayed with me for my last year of the college and 5 years of working. It was used mainly for commute between school or work, never used for road trip or anything like it. Mechanically the car runs great, no major problems. The car was up in Bay Area for first 2 years or so, so the air condition was never needed to be turn on, so AC is still running cold, a must during such hot summer days in LA. Additionally in such day and age of skyrocketing gas prices, driving a stick just makes sense. A full tank of gas (13 gallon i think) will provide you with roughly 350 miles run. Great mileage and a decent looking 4-door sedan car design, this car is perfect as a beater car or use it for everyday commute purpose. Here are some of the detail:
  • 81,800 miles
  • Original owner
  • 2.3L, 160HP
  • Manual Transmission
  • Sports package but the front lip spoiler is not mounted on.
Some plus side:
  • Upgraded to 19 inch Mazdaspeed6 alloy wheel.
  • Upgraded the shift with a short shifter
  • tinted 45% windows
  • I always had the transparent cover to cover up the carpet to avoid rain/dirt damage to the carpets, so the carpet's looks just like new
  • Upgraded with Philip 6000K HID Xenon light
  • I've just spent $1,200 this Feb replacing the clutch (have copy of receipt) so the clutch's good for another 100,000 miles or depends on how you drive.
Some minor issue:
  • Unfortunately the engine light just started to stay on. Engine doesn't have any problem according to the Mazda dealer. Technician is thinking the gas cap might need to be replaced because of air from outside mixing in. They will replace it for free, however I haven't been able to take it to the dealer.
  • 2, 3 dents at the rear driver side door as shown in the picture
  • the LED display isn't displaying properly as shown in the picture
  • two bulges from the bottom of the car chassis (where the leg area for the front driver and passenger side is). This was caused by the improper placement of the jack when my brother was trying to jack the car up. Thus i've deducted roughly $300 for such issue.
  • Car had been in an accident where the front bumper had to be replaced.
The rest are just normal everyday wear and tear issue. I try to take good care of it both inside and outside. I'm meticulous with the car paint problem such as water mark or swirl marks, etc. You'll still see swirly marks because I couldn't wax it as often as I want just because I used to live in an apt complex, but that's just to show you I do care. I would imagine the car would still run for another 5+ years without any need for major mechnical maintaince. A great choice if you are looking for a beater besides that SUV you've already owned.
  • Asking for $7,000 $6,000 or best offer (reduced price!).
  • Buyer please be advised we will need to wait for the check (money order, cashier's check) to be cleared before I finalize the deal (hand in the keys!). I need to verify the authenticity with the issuing bank - not just my bank, which could take a week or longer.
  • Alternatively we can go to the bank together for the money order.
Interested buyer please email me at gan3xiao @ gmail  or call me @ 805-807-thirty-3-eighty-8. Local buyer welcome to test drive! [gallery]

喝! Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness

Media_httpblogueproje_yotdt
雖然不知道還有多少人對 Sony Ericsson 有興趣, 但之前網路流傳的 Kiki 原來長得是這樣. 這對於需要美麗的事物來襯托美麗的自己的人 (does it even make sense) 應該有很大的殺傷力吧. 這也是 Sony Ericsson 新的品牌行銷策略 "Make.Believe" 結果之一吧. -> 按繼續閱讀看照片

G-Dragon - Heartbreaker

Media_httpblogueproje_iavvf
韓國 YG Family 旗下的 G-Dragon 的新造型. 其實蠻不錯的, 連我這個沒 fashion sense 的都覺得可以接受. 但會不會太像 Lady Gaga 了吧. G-Dragon's new style. I dig the blone, but the Lady Gaga style...probably a bit too much!
人氣偶像組合Big Bang隊長G-Dragon的造型一向多變， 最近，G-Dragon在接受記者採訪時蓉菬萓蒨，榣榥榷槌就自己的新造型透露了“背景”。他笑著說：“做過太多的頭型，想來想去也沒什麼可做的畽疑疐瘦，漈漘漙漥所以就用色彩來吸引注意力。”他還滿意地說：“對於我的金髮造型，不僅是業內（歌壇）人士褕裬褖裮，箛箍箌箈連時裝界人士也給予很大關注，這讓我有些‘受寵若驚’。其實榚榖槄榾，馽馹駂駁韓國人的膚色不太適合金髮，所以起初有些擔心，沒想到反響還不錯。” G-Dragon表示,不是為了專輯《Heartbreaker》才弄的金髮造型。他解釋說“只是考慮到《Heartbreaker》中的主人公是因失戀而痛苦的男人，要表現他脆弱的樣子，覺得金髮很相配”。 G-Dragon於8月18日發表個人專輯後，在網上網下都引起了熱烈反響。在G-Dragon尚未出演8月28日的KBS2台節目《Music Bank》的情況下，該專輯仍佔據了第一位，吸引了人們的眼球。 - 朝鮮日報中文網 chn.chosun.com
