Google Spins China

Posted Sep 27, 2004, 12:15 PM ET by Greg Scher

Wow…looks like the PRC has reached all the way out to California and touched our friends over at Google.  Unfortunately in what sounds a bit like double talk, Debbie Host a google spokeswoman claims that..

”Google has decided that in order to create the best possible search experience for our mainland China users we will not include sites whose content is not accessible,”

Best possible search experience?!?!?!  What the hell is she talking about?  Oh…so because computers would be blocked from actually seeing the banned web sites, this serves the peoples best interests?  Come on Google…GET WITH THE PROGRAM.  You could have *tried* to spin it a bit better than that.

Only a “tiny fraction” of Web sites are being excluded by the Chinese news service, Frost said. Xia said his tests indicated Google is excluding Chinese results from at least eight sites, including www.epochtimes.com and www.voanews.com.

Go on Google…go on believing that you are working in the best interests of the people if that’s what helps you sleep as night.

        Aibo，SONY机器狗
        二黑……二黑，楼下大院二大妈的小犬
        －－除了Windows可以update外，咱还可以试试upgrade our organic dog。

        让自家小狗变Aibo，不是说要让他/她变成机械战狗（狗的脑袋，金属身体，高超的耍骨头技巧，对曾经爱恋的狗MM念念不忘……），对比Aibo来说，至少要配置一部移动电话，webcam，电子标识，甚至还能和你交谈－－Aibo拥有的能力，让你有体温的宠物一样拥有。现代宠物科技（不少来自日本人）让这个想法具备了实现可能。当然，Aibo出身豪门，WiFi，摄像头一应俱全，还能被编程完成各种任务，可以用多种声音和语言（且慢…谁的语言?…）说话，让小狗完全和这样一个自家族类的机器副本一样，反而会没意思，想想吧，Aibo能伸出舌头温柔地舔你的手吗？

        下面，汽车人，变型……

        交谈
        2003日本公司Takara推出了Bow-Lingual Bark translator，粗略来说，就是狗语翻译器。把一个无线发射机戴在项圈上，小狗的鸣吠声就会被发射到接收装置上，然后翻译成大约200个人类词语中的某一个……
        740)this.width=740″ border=undefined>
        如果关心的话，可以看看一天内小狗发出的所有声音，以此判断今天情绪如何－－翻译器内置了大多数犬只种类的数千种吠声及其分析。真是和宠物狗做进一步情感沟通的利器呀……
        至于准确性，Engadget试用，他们可爱的小狗一定是位十足的绅士/淑女，因为他一直在说Hey,Hey,Hey,以及，Hey……
        740)this.width=740″ border=undefined>

        Call我
740)this.width=740″ align=right border=undefined>
        Call我，曾经的流行语……如何Call小狗？PetsCell的dog cell phone。可以给你的小狗拨电话，当然，也可以由你的小狗拍一只红色按钮就拨给你。具备GPS追踪功能，不用担心宠物走失了。这功能不错，我都很感兴趣，只是，唉，小心别让你的小狗上了不良网站的当，订些什么美狗自拍同院交友骨价竞猜之类的服务……

        电子标识
        Dog-e-Tag，一个小巧的装备， 套在项圈上即可，最多可以显示10行40个字符。不妨写上他/她的名字，电话号码，狗牌照，嗯，还剩余很多，那就写上他/她的RSS feed－－啊！？你的小狗还没有自己的blog？赶快，他/她肯定在自己的狗友圈子里落伍了……
        740)this.width=740″ border=undefined>

        摄像
        日本TOMY公司有小狗专用的350万像素数码相机－－天杀的，有一种脊索动物门脊椎动物亚门哺乳动物纲灵长目类人猿亚目狭鼻猴次目人猿超科人科人属智人种动物用的手机刚上个130万就吹得天花乱坠，他们居然都用上350万了－－当然，还是挂在小狗看来已经不堪重负的脖子上。附带遥控器。拍摄的照片可以通过USB传递到PC或者MAC上。
        740)this.width=740″ border=undefined>
        另外一个不光小巧而且还带自动拍摄功能的产品是ThinkGeek上的……乖乖，看名字–The James Bond Stealth Camera－－你的小狗看来马上可以去拍007 Dog Edition了……
        740)this.width=740″ border=undefined>       

        好了，至此，一只武装到牙齿的cyborg dog就诞生了，下次，有谁拿Aibo在你面前炫耀，就拿出自己的超级生物狗来比比，咱可不一定会输。

        最后是这只小狗的摄影作品展－－怎么看着像偷拍:-(，没办法，小狗视角如此，所以，这么看，还是相当不错di，对一只小狗来说～～

        我好像跟这正常世界有点脱钩，一直没太注意中秋，只是临近节日这两天忽然被各种迹象和暗示包围，好像全都在耳边聒噪，过节啦，过节啦……先是大厦几个门口全都摆上了竹饰花篮烘托气氛；昨天更在一楼大堂请了民乐演奏－－彬彬有礼的小帅哥服务生还过来请大家点曲目；下午收到通知，30号下午4点即可下班－－前提是今明两天下午提前半个小时上班；晚上回家东西还没放下，小区里居然窜出几只焰火，红啊蓝啊的甚好看；终于坐稳看电视，不是广告就是肥皂，想起到处都在说今年中秋晚上月亮不错，开窗一看，果然明亮异常，还有红色薄云漂啊漂啊漂，让我这粗人差点动了感情……
        晚上给家里打个电话，然后收到几条反刍的短信，笑一笑，满意了。
        这就是那个中秋。

        关于机器人的信息偶是一概不会放过的。
        日本公司Vstone的Robovie-M，可编程的自理类人机器人－－甚至可以踢足球。

        规格：
        高：290mm，约合1英尺
        重：约1.9kg，约合4.2磅
        遥控器
        电池：充电30分钟可以使用约25分钟
        辅助马达变速装置（Servomotor）
        2脚均6个自由度，2个手臂4自由度，腰部1自由度，肩1自由度
        共7种颜色可选

        用户自己拼装Robovie-M－－这是爱自己动手的人最乐于接受的方式 ;-)。Vstone提供的产品包里是框架，马达，CPU板，电池，充电器，AC电源适配器，串口，连接器，电缆和螺丝－－把这堆毫无生命的金属和塑料拼成能跑会跳活力四射的东西必定有奇妙感觉－－比如像……上帝造人？
        产品还包括名为TopDancer的软件－－让你的创造物活起来～～

        这个高级玩具售价大约4500美元（相比另一些上万的产品，还算便宜）。

        中国孩子们什么时候能有这样的动手机会？

        官方网站上有视频片断和PPT供下载。

        上次是BMW MP3手表，这次换日本的PIMP。

        表面上是73个LED，对啊，显示时间就全靠这些亮闪闪的小家伙了。黑夜里，一抖膀子，亮处这个张扬的家伙可能会别有一番味道－－哦，要注意，不要被人当成炸弹的遥控器～～

        只要小学数学成绩过关，用这种表就没问题，把亮点表示的数字加起来就是了，可能让人抓狂的是你能在多快的时间内接受这种新的时间表示方式 ;-)

        PIMP Watch
        TokyoFlash

        第一副图该是12:60吧，看来还颇具赵本山风范～～

        Microsoft首页放置了大幅招贴，甚是醒目。
        第10版看上去更漂亮了。第6版到第7版外观有很大变化，之后的7, 8, 9三个版本风格都相同，第10版又有了New Streamlined Design，Microsoft总有办法后起只追，越做越好，这态度不错。
        在线音乐购买也成为WMP 10的一个重要新特性，可惜对咱们来说没什么意义。
        支持超过70种音乐播放器，看了一下列表，Creative，Rio和iRiver最多，当然其他也有不少…什么，iPod？当然不在其中了。

        Google正从全世界的大小买卖人兜里掏钱，所以这位老兄从Google那儿小赚一笔的方法显得更有创意。

        这位日本艺术家把Google主页打印下来，制成墙壁大小的挂贴画－－这活儿并不简单，不要小看－－然后成功地卖给了Google。没错，我总结一下，这事儿简单来说就是，Google花钱买自己的网页 ;-)
