The Worst Case Scenario, in which all the following happens:

1) Tibetan monks or the FLG self-immolate during the opening ceremonies.

2) Foreign tourists complain about secondhand smoke, "massage" phone calls to their hotel rooms, spitting, lack of queues and price gouging.

3) Domestic tourists complain about even worse price gouging. Indignant domestic visitors get mad when their tickets are revealed to be fakes.

4) Wiseacre tourists pose in front of the Olympics logo re-enacting this picture. Hilarity ensues when Chinese citizens/officials get wind of it.

5) Athletes complain of racial profiling and repressive security measures at the Olympic Village, though in fairness its the Chinese security apparatus trying to do their best.

6) A phalanx of visitors with protest t-shirts are detained.

7) Japanese athletes get harassed.

8) Triathletes succumb to pollution, or controversy erupts over the US and other teams sporting breathing masks.

9) Nasty poor sportsmanship rears its head when Liu Xiang doesn't win the gold.

10) Afghanistan's only competing athlete misses his event due to traffic.

11) African athletes get harassed in Sanlitun.

12) Al Qaeda or some other nutjobs pull a Munich.

Matthew Tretter has solved the perennial problem with the current vertical centering technique – loss of content when the window is too small. His simple solution is the addition of a floated ‘shiv div’ that sits at the top, pushing the main content area down, but then collapses when the content arrives at the top of the screen.

This shiv div could also serve other purposes, such as container for skip links, although the addition of a simple little div doesn’t cause me any sleepless nights.

Before I leave the subject of vertical centering, a wee tip. Instead of making the negative margin exactly half the height of the main content, give it 10px more. Its a picture framing trick, as centering it exactly can make it feel as if it’s ‘falling off the page’.

“International humanitarian law prohibits direct attacks against civilians and civilian objects as well as indiscriminate attacks and attacks that cause disproportionate damage to civilians. A prohibited indiscriminate attack includes using weapons that are incapable of discriminating between civilians and combatants or between civilian and military objects. (…) Because Qassams are not capable of accurate targeting, it is unlawful to use them in or near areas populated with civilians.”

“Calling civilians to a location that the opposing side has identified for attack is at worst human shielding, at best failing to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians from the effects of attack. Both are violations of international humanitarian law. (…) It is a war crime to seek to use the presence of civilians to render certain points or areas immune from military operations or to direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attack.”

A great piece of fiction can demand that you acknowledge the reality of its wildest proposition, no matter how alien it may be to you. It can also force you to concede the radical otherness lurking within things that appear most familiar. This is why the talented reader understands George Saunders to be as much a realist as Tolstoy, Henry James as much an experimentalist as George Perec. Great styles represent the interface of “world” and “I”, and the very notion of such an interface being different in kind and quality from your own is where the power of fiction resides. Writers fail us when that interface is tailored to our needs, when it panders to the generalities of its day, when it offers us a world it knows we will accept having already seen it on the television. Bad writing does nothing, changes nothing, educates no emotions, rewires no inner circuitry - we close its covers with the same metaphysical confidence in the universality of our own interface as we did when we opened it. But great writing - great writing forces you to submit to its vision. You spend the morning reading Chekhov and in the afternoon, walking through your neighbourhood, the world has turned Chekhovian; the waitress in the cafe offers a non- sequitur, a dog dances in the street.

1. Transparency and authenticity. The business world has always had some good examples of companies that were transparent and authentic with their customers, but there would likely be agreement these were too few and far between. (It is interesting to note that small businesses, as a more immediate part of their community, have been more likely to practice these qualities... hmmm... ) There is no doubt that the technologies we call Web 2.0 have both required and produced transparency and authenticity. Blogging, especially, by its very nature, helps create transparency and authenticity--both for ourselves in our own thinking processes (see this thread on Will Richardson's blog), and for our organizations. This is why true blogging is so hard for companies that don't have an open culture.

And in many small start-ups there is virtually no distinction between passion for the company and passion for the work--they are, essentially, the same thing, driven by the same overall desire to succeed. The companies that have the greatest chance, in my opinion, are the ones who can hang to that.

He's working on a book called "On the shoulders of giants". He tells his story of being born and raised in Harlem, a place of big hopes and changes thanks to the civil rights movement and the Harlem Renaissance. He tells of the teachings of Martin Luther King, of how that inspired him to look inside and explore his own soul -- "and now I hope that the world sees me not 7 feet 2 inches tall, but 7 feet 2 inches deep". He offers the audience his "three most important principles of success". Integrity: for me integrity is best explained through jazz music; musicians that have integrity pursue their vision, not just what the public might want; integrity requires confidence: in our vision, in our capacities. Learning system: focus must be not on how many points you score, but on the system. Execution: you must know your competition, your potential, your strengths, and how to play to your strengths and weaknesses; execution is about preparation, timing, knowing your enemy (strategy) and knowing your enemy's sword (what tools he has).

Featured Windows Download: Secure your laptop with Laptop Alarm

from Lifehacker by Adam Pash

Windows only: Next time you leave your laptop unattended, turn on freeware program Laptop Alarm. Laptop Alarm sets off an alarm to alert you any time someone tries to log off, shut down, or disconnect your power supply or USB mouse without entering your password. Laptop Alarm is similar to Mac-only alarm iAlertU but—let's be honest—with much less pizazz. (iAlertU is motion-sensing, for chrissake!) Either way, neither software is foolproof by any means. Laptop Alarm won't prevent anyone from grabbing your computer and running, but at the very least it might sound off the alarm in enough time to give you a fighting chance to chase down the bad guy. (The only true method of theft prevention is never leaving your laptop alone.) Laptop Alarm is freeware, Windows only. For more advanced laptop theft fun, check out LaptopLock.

The Merck/Merial Manual for Pet Health

from Cool Tools

The Merck Veterinary Manual has long been the standard guide found in most veterinarian's back offices. Vets are required to serve the needs of many animals, not just one, and so this venerable book is their operating manual for lesser known species. It also serves as a reminder for uncommon ailments in the common species of pets. Recently Merck/Merial has published a one-volume paper-bound home edition of the Vet Manual. It is less technical, but still remarkably deep, and by far the best pan-species health guide for pets. It is often even better than many single pet health guides. >

Besides the expected dogs, cats, and horses, it covers the health needs of rabbits, rodents, ferrets, birds, reptiles, and exotics such as pot-bellied pigs and sugar gliders. At 1,300 pages, it's an old-fashioned book, but intelligently designed, and easy to browse and study. >

This book won't eliminate visits to the vet, but it will reduce their number, and make you smarter when you do visit. The real value of a pan-animal tome like this is when you take charge of an unfamiliar animal. It also gave us confidence to adopt pets we hitherto knew little about. >

Stephen Pinker (formerly at MIT, now at Harvard; author of "How the mind works") is the man who has brought the ideas of evolutionary psychology to a broader audience. He shows images of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which have been seared into our conscience in the XX century. During that century we witnessed a series of atrocities, from Stalin and Hitler to Mao and Rwanda. And the XXI century has not started better (Darfur, Iraq). But despite this perception of inhuman violence in the last 100 years, truth is that our ancestors were far more violent that we are, and today we are probably living in the most peaceful times in history.
The decline of violence is a fractal phenomenon, says Pinker, you can see it over millennia, centuries, decades (although there may have been a tipping point an the onset of the Age of Reason on the XVI century):

Millennium scale - Until 10'000 years ago all humans lived as hunter-gatherers, without permanent settlement or government. But recent research has revealed that the likelihood of violent death (that a man would die at the hands of another man) was of 50-60%. If we consider later civilizations such as the ones described in the Bible (about 3000 years ago), well, the Bible itself contains several passages like the one about "slewing all the males" (Numbers, 31).
Century scale - Violence was common in European Middle ages and early modern times (while is rare or absent today): mutilations and torture were routine criminal punishments; death penalty was a sanction for a long list for nonviolent crimes; slavery; sadistic capital punishment (burning at the stake); cruelty as entertainment. One-on-one murder: criminologist Manuel Eisner searched historical records in Europe for homicide rates in the Middle Age, and determined a decline of at least two orders of magnitudes in homicides since then.
Decade scale - Since 1945 in Europe and Americas steep decline in wars, armed conflicts, number of deaths per war per year. Since end of Cold War: similar trends.

So why are we so wrong about something so important? One of the reason is that we have better journalistic reporting which creates a cognitive illusion: memorable events are judged to be more probable (if we read every day about suicide bombers, we believe that's the norm); guilt; change in standards outpaces change in behaviour. Why has violence declined? Nobody really knows, but:

Maybe Thomas Hobbes got it right, he said that life in the state of nature was brutal and short, that in a state of anarchy there is a strong temptation to invade others before they invade you, or to kill the other before they kill you. Hobbes' solution, the Leviathan, was that monopoly of violence should be invested in a single authority (state), which is consistent with the rise of centralized state in modern times
In many times and places there is a widespread sense that "life is cheap". When suffering and early death are common in one's life, one has fewer compunction to threaten other people's life.
Non-zero sum games: in certain circumstances, cooperation benefits both parties in an interaction (splitting the "peace dividend" - the advantages of not having to fight all time, for ex); tech increases the number of positive-sum games
The expanding circle (put forth by philosopher Peter Singer) posits that evolution bequeathed us with a sense of empathy. By default we apply it only to friends and family, but over time the circle expands to the village, the tribe, the nation, other races, both sexes, other species, etc. This expansion is powered by increasing reciprocity and cosmopolitanisms which allows to project yourself into the life of other people.

Whatever its causes, the decline of violence has implications. Because it's not only about doing less wrong, but also doing right. And it would be interesting to find out what we are doing right. (Pinker doesn't mention it, but let me point you to it: to the Human Security Report, published in October 2005 and largely ignored by the press but which contains figures such as: the number of armed conflicts has declined by more than 40 percent since 1992; that of military coups and attempted coups has declined by some 60 percent since 1963; and another quantity of important data).

简约的设计

The idea was simple:

This is a language arts course: writing, speaking, communicating. If you spend this semester communicating about topics that “teacher” assigns, you will not be real writers. You will just be doing homework. Writers write of their own interests and ideas. That means you will have to find your own topics, in order to experience being a writer, speaker, film-maker, etc.

So you will develop a web-based project based on your interests; use whatever modes of communication you desire - writing, podcasting, screencasting, movie-making, etc; launch and grow your project over six months, and apply the principals of quality - in whatever “language art” mode you’ve chosen - from the mini-lessons and sitting together conferences we had; do your project singly or in teams; extra credit for using Twitter, Skype, Facebook, YouTube, and the rest to network, go global, and “imagine big.”

Eskilsson sågar moderaterna

från Johan Ingerö av Johan Ingerö

Nu tar Sture Eskilsson, legendarisk informationsdirektör på SAF och grundare av tankesmedjan Timbro, till orda om den moderata kollapsen. I Barometern, (ej online) skriver han:

"Hur har då de nya moderaterna tänkt sig att i denna massiva motvind bland sina gamla väljare kunna vinna valet 2010. Svaret är antagligen att man förlitar sig på att de intresserade, engagerade väljarna är i minoritet. De flesta bryr sig inte så mycket, de tar ställning när valet närmar sig. Då kollar de in vad partierna har att erbjuda.

Borg kommer när han finner tiden mogen att lossa på locket till statens kassakista. Där finns alla de miljarder vi betalat för mycket i skatt under senare år. Sen gäller det bara för finansministern att göra en taktisk sortering, se till att de mest missnöjda får en släng av sleven och framför allt att hålla utkik efter och möta överbudsförsök från socialdemokraterna."

Timetube is a Youtube mashup that creates a timeline of Youtube videos related to a keyword that the user is searching for. The time period can be altered from 1 day to 100 years which tells me that the developers have plans to offer this service for a very, very long time. While sorting the results by time is not something special, even the default search at Youtube can do that, the display of the results makes it special.

Results are sorted on a timeline and weighted by popularity. The most popular videos are displayed with big preview images, the lesser popular ones with smaller thumbnails and then there are the results without thumbnail. The title of the video and the day of it’s posting are always displayed as well so that it’s possible to understand what a video will be about even if no thumbnail is shown.

A click on a video loads that video on the same page with virtually no delay offering the usual Youtube controls.

The Japanese market for buyouts is certainly alluring, since there are lots of opportunities to cut costs. But it has been tough for US private equity firms to break in.

But today there was a success: D&M Holdings Inc. agreed to a $470 tender offer from Bain Capital Partners. This is according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

D&M sells premium and super premium audio and video products, with brands like Denon and Snell. The company got its start in 1910 and has since engaged in a variety of acquisitions, such as for McIntosh Laboratory, Allen&Heath Holdings and Boston Acoustics.

D&M does have an attractive long-term potential. With the surge in wealth in Asian countries, there is likely to be strong demand for D&M products. And, with the financial backing of Bain, there are likely to be more bolt-on acquisitions to enhance the D&M platform.

Connect people who are proximate geographically.
We all know that newspapers are tanking. Yet news, it appears, is on the rise. This paradox is an opportunity. Who is connecting the 10,000 people in your little community/suburb/town/zip code to each other? One person who spends all day at school board meetings, breaking stories about a dumping scandal, profiling a local business person or teacher? If you did that, and built an audience of thousands by RSS and email... do you think you'd have any trouble selling out the monthly cocktail party/mixer? Any trouble finding sponsors among local businesses for a media property that actually and truly reaches everyone?

조선일보가 e잉크 단말기로 누트를 골랐습니다. 누트는 이미 제가 소개한 바 있는 e잉크 전문기업 네오럭스의 제품입니다. 네오럭스는 국내 유일의 공식 e잉크 리셀링 업체로, 전자책 보다는 e잉크 광고판을 주로 개발하던 곳이었습니다. 네오럭스 제품 역시 국내 생산은 아니고 대만 생산입니다. (하긴 국내 출시 전자제품 중에 국산이 있었던가요...^^)

누트의 최대 장점은 나름대로 저렴한 가격입니다. 6개월 구독료 포함 25만원 9000원이면 싼 편이라고 생각됩니다. 누트의 최대 단점은 '느리다'는 겁니다. 운영 소프트웨어 완성도가 낮습니다. 실제로 책을 읽기 불편한 정도는 아니지만, 성질이 급하면 상당하 답답하다는 걸 느끼게 됩니다. 대신 리얼타임 콘텐츠 가치에 비해선 값도 싼 편이죠

Literacy has shifted. We had words when we were in college. This was up to just a few years ago, as recently as five years ago. That's when it becme very easy to produce media. The multimedia collage is the new baseline media. Images, text, movies, animation, music - and the abiliy to put all those together.

Why is literacy changing? The 'read-only' to 'write-possible' time is shrinking. For text, it took thousands of years. Moving pictures, about 100 years. Web, about 15 years. To the point where, as soon as something is created, we will be able not only to consume it, but to write with it at the same time. Not only that: the tools are cheap. And there are free stages everywhere, free art and story environments.

When kids go into the story environment, their sense of quality goes through the rood. That's because of the tEcosystem - the tech ecosystem. Remember when it was tapes and 8-track and vynal? Not it's computers and cameras and video.

Web 1.0 - 1990- 2005. You had very few people generating content, and the rest of us would read it. You needed to know HTML (and have no social life). Now everybody can play. Everybody becomes a client and a comoytrer at the same time. Then there's Web 2.1, which I call read-write-paint.

But the big change that's coming is the semantic web, web 3.0. It will be a while yet. What it does is that it takes web 2.1 and it puts it into the contextual model of a brain - everything is related to everything else. We 3.0 goes out, collapses Googles million search results, and relates it to everything you know, everything about you. It's the only way to deal with all this information.

Understanding his concern, an unnamed Christian man who now lives in Beijing said his decision to move to China was crucial. "I remember asking myself, 'Do I want to spend the rest of my good working years doing the same Bible studies or do I want to live as the disciples did?'"

Though he had a successful business in America, he and his wife opted to move in order to live out their motto: "Making an eternal difference in the hearts of others."

Lemley: To what extent does blurring require some sort of misleading? There must be some way in which consumers are led astray in your model.

Bradford: It depends on how legitimate you think familiarity is in expressing a true preference of the consumer. It helps us conserve cognitive resources, so we feel positively towards the brand/trust it; a free rider jams that signal and makes us feel the brand is riskier. We could call that misleading, but we could also say that the jamming is as neutral as familiarity; both are disconnected from specific information about the brand. The dilutive use tells you that the brand is popular, interesting, etc. Louis Vuitton case: the fact that it’s used for a dog toy tells you that some people find the brand pretentious. Consumers might feel more negatively about the brand after exposure to the dog toy; an involuntary change of preferences, true, but Louis Vuitton’s fame was also causing involuntary change of preference.

Rumour of second bail out rumour coming in Ambac.

Word is that CNBC have heard from a source close to the fire escape that the Monolines are worried that there will be no new rumours about possible rescues around until the recent rescues are proved to have failed.

That means that there'll be no Friday evening prop for the stock markets.

A source close to the industry said that a consortium is "being put in place to work on new rumours but we can't be sure that these rumours will actually be ready for another five business days."

News of the rumoured rumour of salvation sent MBIA and AMBAC up .01% in pre-market trading. Hank Paulson was rumoured to be delighted with the patriotic rumours, a source close to him on his lifeboat off the coast of Hawaii said Thursday.

1. From Jane : This might sound odd, but one of my favorite simplifying tips around the holidays is to do something for someone else that takes away from the flurry of it all. Last year, using Making Memories cool 1-25 sheet of holiday paper, I made two sets of simple cards numbered 1-25. Every day for the 25 days of Dec. my parents and my mother-in-law received in the mail a little holiday note. I'd include pictures of the kids, or the decor in the house, or a drawing from one of the kids. And I'd include a little note about something I remember from being a kid at Christmas. My parents would nearly fight each other to get to open them each day and they made a beautiful display of them on their patio doors. My mother-in-law passed away this Fall and as we were going through her things we came across a special box with all 25 cards and their related contents. My sister-in-law said she was so thankful I'd done that because it made her Mom so happy to look forward to it each day. And when she would visit she could see her excitement in sharing them with her. That activity really helps me focus my attention away from the shopping, planning, etc. and on the importance of giving.

I am not talking about TV or radio, where traditional broadcasts still work the way they always have. I am talking about broadcasting an event or a message on the Web. Does the notion of broadcasting even make sense anymore in a narrowcasting world where anybody can read, watch or listen to any piece of information on their own schedule? And if it does make sense, how do you pull together the personal media of the Web into a coherent experience rather than produce something in a top-down fashion to be released upon a no-longer-passive audience?

Whereas if you sit down to catch up on your RSS feeds -- and might I point out how similar that activity is to catching up on your magazine and newspaper reading, in the "paper economy"? -- you expect to spend your attention in short bursts, five minutes here, twenty there, perhaps an hour on a long article that especially interests you.

－罗氏公司在张江
－罗氏公司有这种单向玻璃的观察室
－罗氏公司的生产部经理好像就是一位四十多岁的男的
………………

bh

昨天LD回来给俺讲了一个刚发生在她公司的令人不可思议但却真实发生的事，把俺笑S了。。。

LD公司的张江公司生产车间有位经理，四十多岁。找了个年轻漂亮的小情人。这事本来公司里没人知道的。但这男人不知出于何原因，故意要拿出来显白。有次他与几位同事出差，订的是火车坐位。但他却非要单独买卧铺。上了火车，别人都在坐位，他与小情人单独在卧铺（与同事出差还带小情人，有点太高调了吧。。。）。本来么，别人也不知道。但有位同事有事找到，才发现。。。大家也比较拎得清，只当不知道。。。

到了宾馆，别人都订的是标房，唯独他，非要订一个套间（是嫌标房太小豁伐开？还是套房有情调？）。。。

出差回来后，这事当然就在公司里传开啦。。。很多同事听说这位经理找了个很年轻很漂亮的小情人，都很好奇，可惜缘一睹芳容。。。

机会终于来了。。

上周五，这位经理居然把小情人带到公司，还带着小情人都处参观。。。很是引人注目。。。

这时，有好事者立马打电话给当时与他一起出差的同事："喂，那位经理今天带了个漂亮小姐来公司参观，你来看看是不是上次你们出差时遇到的那个小情人啊？"那同事立马赶过去看，然后确认，就是这小情人。

于是，这消息立马在各办公室传开了，不一会儿，办公室里的所有八卦人员全体出动（工作都放下来了，真的很八卦啊^_^），都想看看这小情人到底长得如何漂亮。。。

听说他们在公议室，于是这帮人就借着拿东西的机会去瞄。。。结果很失望，只见公议室里有两个茶杯，人却不在。。。又听说他们去了茶水室，于是这帮人又借着倒茶上厕所的机会涌向了茶水间。。。。结果还是没看到。。。。有消息灵通人士发现，他们进了电梯。这时，有聪明者盯着电梯看，看他们到几楼。。。

结果，发现他们直接下到了一楼。于是，这帮八卦人员立即奔向了一楼（港台地区的狗仔队也不过如些吧？汗。。。）最经典、最戏剧性的一幕上演了。。。。

当这帮八卦人员跑到一楼时，发现他们二个人进入了一个小房间。。。

问题就出在这个小房间！

这可不是一间普通的房间，是一个观察室。这房间的一面墙是玻璃，但不是普通玻璃，是单向玻璃！就是里面的人看不到外面，而外面的人能看到里面！就象警察用来审讯嫌犯及让被害人辩认嫌犯的那种房间。

这么一个特殊的房间，这位经理居然不知道它有如此特殊的功能，狂汗。。。。

二人进去后，就开始上演顶级三级片。。。

当公司这帮八卦人员气喘吁吁地跑到小房间外时，突然看到这么一个场景，众人是又惊又喜！几乎同时时都拿出手机，又是拍照又是录像，还不停地流口水。。。。

过了好一会，等"片子"差不多快放完了，这才有人打电话给公司副总汇报情况。。。（这帮人很不厚道，免费看A片还要打小报告！）

过了一会，副总（是位中年妇女）急匆匆赶来，一看，也吓愣了，里面还没结束。。。（哈哈。。。）

定了定神，副总上前敲门。。。

大家看到，里面二人赶紧穿上衣服，整理一下头发。。。

过了一会，这男的很镇定地打开了房门，并若无其事地问副总："有什么事么？"

副总涨红着脸问："你们在里面干什么？"（考，看都看到了，还明知故问！）

这位经理很镇定地说："没做什么呀？"

副总看他死不认帐，不得不说："你知道么，这间是观察室，这面玻璃墙外面能看到里面的。。。"

这位经理一听这话，如五雷轰顶，当场就愣在那了。。。（挖哈哈。。。。）

副总马上去向大老板汇报。这里的大老板是位新加坡人。

副总很含蓄地向大老板说："XXX今天带了他的'姘姘'到公司里来。。。"

大老板一听："噢，就是情妇是吧？这有啥，这是人家的私事，不用去管他。"

副总说："但他刚才与情夫在公司的观察室里$%@%%^&^&__*&%^%!(__&^%"

大老板一听就在公司里%^&)(_$%^，火腾地就窜上来了，开口骂道："OH，f***！"。。。（挖哈哈。。。）

过了几天，人事部经理找那位经理，让他滚蛋了。。。。。

事后，那些亲眼目睹全过程的八卦们一致评价：这个小情人不但人长得漂亮，而且动作那是相当地专业！（嘎嘎嘎。。。）

事实再次证明：做人一定要低调，尤其是做那种事。。。。。

奥运前要求中国开放的压力增大，但中国没有向西方屈服，没有加速民主化。这再次说明，中国今后将继续发展自己独有的社会制度。中国认为，中国不需要以西方为榜样，富裕的小国新加坡证明了这一点，为此中国在努力学习新加坡模式。按照这一模式，人权应该置于国家的整体成就之下。关键在于国家要履行关心公民的义务，这样就可以买到安宁和秩序。

Generative Design: The design is based on a generative script, creating branches out of the primary structure of the tower. Inspired by the structural concept of Eiffel of three-dimensional cross bracing beams, the script unfolds along curved lines the “DNA” of the tower. The script used the existing structure at the top of the tower ( a 10 by 10 meters cube) to generate 3 structural weaves, which are interconnected. These layers are combined to create a woven complex, which is based on the redundancy and the non-repetition of patterns to increase its structural performance. In opposition with modern engineering (based on the concept of repetition and optimization), the project for the Eiffel tower extension is based on an alternative model of high performance.

The total cost involved in the development of software to putting it on the shelves of retail stores were huge and no one wanted to take chances when there is a big player with tremendous marketshare (like Microsoft in the case of Office Suite). Even if some company decides to compete, there is no way they could offer the software for cheap because of the costs involved.

As the ever-fabulous Robert Self of Brown had noted at dinner the night previous (and I paraphrase), it isn't clear that more communication on the internet is actually better communication. What we do know is that people who take the trouble to comment are a very small proportion of those who read: I would say on this blog fewer than 1% of readers are commenters, and I bet that is even true of very popular blogs who get two or three times the hits I get every day. Thus, those who comment are, as the pollsters say, motivated. What this means, in my view, is that they are either truly interested in the post or truly interested in making contact with the blogger, and in the latter case, negativity is probably as much a motivator as admiration, if not more so.

Q: What's the biggest trap most brand managers stupidly fall into?

The mass market trap. Chasing market size. Trying to appeal to everyone and avoiding alienating anyone. By trying to appeal to everyone, no one gets excited.

In my past brand lives, we joked that our target was "a woman, age 25–39, with a pulse." Instead, if you cater to a passionate and vocal niche, you become more meaningful. Consumer loyalty follows. Niche marketing isn't just for small brands. General Mills does a great job of training marketers to find and truly understand your niche's brand champions. You create your products and marketing just for them. When you do, much of the mass market will follow, too.

as a human being, your ability to take action is based on the value judgments you make about yourself. Words like “winner,” “loser,” “achiever,” “slacker,” “success” and “failure” are the labels we put on ourselves either based on what people tell us or what we choose to believe about ourselves. And the right label - or the wrong one - will undeniably direct the course of your life.

The problem is, most of us don’t consciously decide what that label is going to be. And we suffer for it.

BeatMyPrice Finds Deals, Integrates RetailMeNot [Price Comparison]

from Lifehacker by Gina Trapani

Just-launched price comparison engine BeatMyPrice comes from the folks who brought you BugMeNot and RetailMeNot, and puts those two services' "people-powered" ethics to good use. Here's how it works: you see an item you want to buy online at a certain price, but want to know if there are better deals out there. You enter the item name, URL, and price into BeatMyPrice.com, and hit the "Beat that!" button. BeatMyPrice lists results from various sources (including other users' searches), and includes better, the same, and higher-priced items than your entry—and it integrates coupon codes and promotions (like free shipping) from its sister site, RetailMeNot.

Think tyvek, but smoother and printable. It's available in boxes of 25, 15 or 10 sheets depending on size. You send this this untearable, nearly indestructible paper through your ordinary ink jet printer. The resulting map (see picture above) can then be dunked in the ocean, folded again and again, and it won't break. When applied as if the paper were Glossy Photo Paper, your typical ink jet ink seems to adhere well and hold up pretty good to abuse. It can be printed on both sides, too, to further compact your maps.

After a flurry of leaks and announcements caught our attention last year, we've heard nary a peep from Toshiba about its multi-faceted device since. Suffice to say that's it's out in parts of Europe and countries with a penchant for the backward "R" and "N." Great, but what is it and how well does it do what it does; that's the convoluted question. Fortunately, IntoMobile went hands on with the USB memory stick / alarm clock with snooze / MP3 player / 7.2Mbps HSDPA USB modem / tri-band GSM cellphone and came away with the opinion that "the device is excellent." It pulled a respectable 2.7Mbps off O2's UK network and performed reasonably well as a "backup phone." The 160MB of storage for MP3 / AAC music playback was disappointing but it served its purpose in a pinch. Still, that's a lot of device for £140.

The price of music will likely not fall in the near term to absolutely zero. Charging any price at all requires the use of credit cards and their minimum fees of $0.20 or more per transaction, for example. And services like iTunes and Amazon can continue to charge something for quality of service. With P2P networks you don’t really know what you are getting until you download it. It could, for example, be a virus. Or a poor quality copy. Many users will be willing to pay to avoid those hassles. But as long as BitTorrent exists, or simple music search engines like Skreemr allow users to find and download virtually any song in seconds, they won’t be able to charge much.

　　二、内需增长：美国市场过去40年上涨幅度最大的股票基本是消费类企业，这类企业资本产出率特别高，"衣食住行"等方面品牌企业可以长期看好，如贵州茅台（600519.SH）、苏宁电器（002024.SZ）、上海家化（600315.SH）、小商品城（600415.SH）和华发股份（600325.SH）。
　　三、全球冠军：在制造方面有全球竞争力的企业，现在大家担心人民币升值后对企业的全球竞争力产生影响，但要知道，日元升值和能源危机时，日本股市上涨最好的是丰田汽车，所以投资者不要因为汇率因素而放弃一些有全球竞争能力的企业，如科达机电（600499.SH）、中联重科（000157.SZ）、成发科技（600391）、三一重工（600031.SH）和中材国际（600970.SH）。
　　四、未来之星：随着人们收入的增加，健康产业和化妆品行业有很好的发展前途，如科华生物（002022.SZ）和双鹭药业（002038.SZ）。

随着市场的竞争和产业集中度的提高，一个行业最终剩下几家真正有竞争性的王牌企业。企业某一年的盈利并不重要，重要的是持续的竞争力和未来是否有广阔的发展空间。商业连锁业态的出现，使得商业跨区域扩张，具有极大的市场空间和远大的前景。居民收入的快速增长，必然带来消费品市场的繁荣。最受益者为有定价权的优秀的消费品牌类企业。大国崛起的标志显著特征是金融业的强大和繁荣，看看当今的美国，就是很好的例子。中国未来的“股王”很可能会出现在零售行业和金融行业。制造行业中一批具备核心竞争力的企业，逐步具备同国际巨头的竞争能力，那些开始在国际竞争中崭露头角的优秀企业同样值得我们关注。

中国正处于快速发展期，某一时刻的退出并不代表我们对中国资本市场长期的看淡，在一定程度上来说，这恰恰是为了更好的前行而做出的舍弃。随着资本市场的壮大，

Die Guten zwingen Dich nicht bereits bei der Anmeldung, Deinen Mailaccount inkl. Passwort anzugeben, um “zu schauen, wer von Deinen Kontakten im Adressbuch bereits auch angemeldet ist”. Es könnte nämlich nur ein ganz blöder Trick sein, die Kontakte ohne Deine bewußte Kenntnis einzuladen. Indem man Dein Adressbuch ausliest und somit die Mailadresse besitzt. Vor allen Dingen sollten dann alle Warnleuchten angehen, wenn man bei der Registrierung diesen Schritt nicht überspringen kann. Einem Fremden gibt man nun einmal den PIN-Code der EC-Karte auch nicht.

我离开哈佛的时候，根本没有意识到这个世界是多么的不平等。人类在健康、财富和机遇上的不平等大得可怕，它们使得无数的人们被迫生活在绝望之中。

I remember reading about a professor of physics who recorded lectures especially for them to be put online, and then used the time he was allotted with the class to do experiments with them, having groups work and then circulate to help them. I would argue that this is a much more rational way of using the very expensive face time allotted with a professor.

10. Speak the Post Out Loud

Sometimes I don’t get stuck with the initial idea of what to post - but the next step of refining it into an actual topic that I can write about.

When you’ve got the start of your topic it can be helpful to actually start talking about it - get it out of your head and explain it (even if it’s just to yourself). Sometimes the act of verbalizing ideas can crystalize them in your mind.

斯皮策先生的包房
舒适刺激的享受之旅往往伴随着代价不菲的账单

莎拉·科肖（Sarah Kershaw）迈克尔·鲍威尔（Michael Powell）文

熙熙攘攘的五月花大酒店。穿着深棕色制服、白手套的门僮们开始嗅到一丝微秒的气息：一些打扮妖艳的女郎，穿着蕾丝花边的镂空的吊带背心，什么行李也没有带，好像是来参加鸡尾酒会，以自己的姿色来会会大肚便便的商务委员会说客。
有时，她们会径直走向电梯。如果已经过了晚上10点，她们可能会被保安拦下来，然后就是一番叽里呱啦的对话，但楼上的一个电话，又总是能让一切归于平静。
更多的时候，这些伺候客人一小时能挣500到5000美元不等的女人，会一屁股坐在休息室里的木板长凳上，要上一杯酸橙苏打水，漫不经心地喝着，而不时出现的客人会把她们带去开一间房。
对于五月花的固定资助方和员工来说，不久前发生的于这里的纽约州长埃利奥特·斯皮策（Eliot Spitzer）招妓丑闻事件，向人们表明了五月花几十年来对这种现象的默许。一些员工甚至在打赌：猜猜谁是那位应召女郎？
酒店一名不愿透露姓名的前任经理说：“我们是在做客房的生意。不过陪客服务的却让客人们很开心。”此人现已在其它酒店的俱乐部谋得高职。
五月花大酒店是华盛顿的顶级酒店，酒店正面曲线分明，珍贵的壁画、金壁辉煌的金叶，气势磅礴。亨利·杜鲁门（Henry Truman）总统称它为“华府选址排名第二”。从酒店前门步行五分钟即可到达白宫。
原联邦调查局局长埃德加·胡佛（J. Edgar Hoover）在该酒店吃了二十年的午餐，查尔斯·林博格（Charles Lindbergh）在五月花酒店的一个舞厅庆祝自己第一次独自横跨大西洋的飞行。富兰克林·罗斯福也在酒店的776房间撰写他个人首次就职演讲稿。

总统套房里的政要们

1989年，华盛顿前任市长Marion S. Barry Jr.曾被人看到在五月花酒店的一间客房里吸食可卡因。后来，他因持有毒品而被判有罪。10年后，克林顿总统的议院成员在酒店十层的总统套房会见莫尼卡·莱温斯基（Monica Lewinsky）。
现在，五月花酒店却让斯皮策先生的政治生涯上画上了最终的句点。
丹·拉斯金（Dan Ruskin），从艾森豪威尔执政以来就一直在酒吧弹钢琴，他在一封电子邮件中这样写道：“1933年3月，曾任纽约州长的罗斯福总统，在他下榻的房间完成了历史性的演说文件，当时他唯一担心的就是人身安全。如今，也就是整整75年后，另一位纽约州长又书写了新的历史。他唯一担心的是：会不会被捉。”
在问及酒店于此的声誉时，万豪集团的发言人约翰·伍夫（John Wolf）拒绝就具体细节提出反驳。他这样说到：“公司的方针是遵守联邦、州和当地的法律。我们也尊重客人的隐私，保证其他客人及公众的安全。酒店不会宽恕那些违背目标或明显违法的行为。”
于此争论的倒没几个人，但是从与酒店二十几位员工和资助人，以及其他几位有资深社会关系的人士的交谈看得出来，五月花酒店和那些花400美元住上一晚的房客，对更知名的卖淫机构摆着一副“别问，也别说”的架势。《时代》没有确定那些人的名字，担心会遭到报复。
斯皮策先生是五月花酒店的常客。酒店的记录显示，自他做州长以来，以自己的名字预订客房13次，包括2月13日这一天。执法官员说，当晚他与名为克丽丝滕（Kristen）应召女郎�
