even if China doesn't block the access of google.com.hk, individual who search (or do anything online) inside china can still be traced. I think the move to redirect search to google.com.hk will immediately reduce the usage of google, cos the general public, who knows a bit of what is being censored, may prefer not to see these materials at all.
still don't get it? imagine there's a search engine that returns NSFW materials for sure. will you use it at work? will you avoid using it?
yes, there's internet cafe. but there's highly efficient people's police, and net cafe owners who won't think twice to report to the authority.
go for a real press with open access, say http://www.aupress.ca/index.php/publish/ . the advantage is that library over the world probably wants to buy a hard copy from a real press, and you can let those online user to use the book online, plus a channel to sell hard copies.
on a second thought, this click-less approach for interface may be the future, when combined with eye tracking hardware. because eye blinking can't be an alternative for clicking.
I feel peaceful until the fan of my laptop spinned like crazy. How much cpu flop is wasted to replace a click??
I think the creator of the site knows so well that this don't click approach is nothing effective when he/she uses actionscript to 'wait' and validate a choice.
xyz and mm/yy isn't important. how ready is the key. and with his emphasize of testing. maybe Bill is talking about "vista is ready to be tested (by a small group, or by the public) by jan 200x."
i have high hope that statement will come true eventually. anyone want to wagar?
July 1st, 1997:
Apple's adjusted share price was $3.30
Microsoft: $13.64
March 30th, 2006:
Apple's adjusted share price is $62.75
Microsoft's is $27.23
Apple's share price has increased 1,801.5%,
Microsoft's increased 99.6%
This is a very inaccurate comparison because:
July 1st, 1997 is the historical low for AAPL. I guess that's not the case for MSFT. This for sure makes growth for AAPL looks much better.
I know AAPL has spilt at least once, or twice during this period (can someone verfiy?). So the adjusted prices on March 30 2006 should be $125.5 or $251.
because i have only one hand free. and i don't need to even look at the screen to get to the song that i want. it's getting back to the magic word "UI". but it's also related to how mobile you wanna be vs what kind of task you wanna do with a mobile device.
but there're some conflicting between the pharse suggestion function in the chineses input method on the OS level. maybe that's why Google is not officially supporting that at the moment/in the future.
I am waiting for some company to come up with a battery powered/re-chargeable wireless USB hub for USB devices like a wacom tablet. Then I can truly enjoy wireless mouse when I am on the couch.
oh wait...... maybe a DC power USB hub can do the job better

not yet, what are missing:
- connect to an outside machine (it was possible with iTunes 4.0 and itunesdl before, then apple make it possible to share music within a LAN), but i don't think this is hard to crack.
- when the first item is clear, we should see website/applications like tracker, to list the IP of those library that are shared.
- and then we should see applications to search songs by name/artist
- and then we should see RIAA sueing those who don't even have iTunes.
you don't get it? the guy is saying: don't wait for a G5 powerbook. get the new G4 powerbook announced on Tuesday and it'll be good for another 3 years.
I think the missing of (or excluding) tabs is not a bad idea though. Tabbing is re-inventing the wheel. After trying it in chimera, and on WIN Opera, i found myself always wasting time in finding the page I opened. it's a different story if everything is tabbed (or tab new windows as default). but that brings out other problems because opening up a seperate window is more common and you can move things around.
I have to admit that I love the shadowing of windows and the missing of window borders. Seeing more windows overlapping on my screen doesn't bother me at all.
other than the speed, which is amazingly fast, i'd keep using chimera cos safari
has no keychain support
doesn't show the link when mouseover (i just figured out that you can drap a link to see the URL, but it's still not as good as seeing it by mouseover)
the metalic look is no good, but it's more of a personal perference and it's minor.
auto complete of url is not as convinent as chimera. typing www.apple goes nowhere.
bookmarking is slightly better (than chimera) but the way safari downloads is terrible: all downloads goes to the download folder, saving to other places is not even an option. so what should i do with all these files in the download folder? clean them up from time to time? by just looking at the file name? i forget what "agenda.txt" is about after a couple mins I download it.
there's no better way to file the file while you download, same as bookmarking. but steve has improved bookmarking and take away the most basic function and think he's done a great job in user experience.
other than forcing the download to a specific folder, the download window is not as good as the download manager in IE. i can't delete items?
I replaced IE with safari in my dock though and use it as my alt browser. not sure how good safari can handle pages that does and doesn't follow the w3 standard. may switch back to IE for this (incorrect) reason.
i hope the google intergration is has all the toolbar functions. I use IE on Win just for that reason. snapback? give me a break. it's just one of the tiny feature on the google toolbar.

I think it's the reverse.

you can buy a mac with OS X Server. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/ It comes with the Quicktime Streaming Server that can do MPEG 4.
You can also get a box with an OS and install the free Darwin QTSS, touch the source if you want http://developer.apple.com/opensource/server/strea ming/index.html?

humbleness may help... I'd describe my whatever development as 'unintelligent' to get away from these greedy patent owners.

yes, I thought it's free. no, it's not.
because i have only one hand free. and i don't need to even look at the screen to get to the song that i want. it's getting back to the magic word "UI". but it's also related to how mobile you wanna be vs what kind of task you wanna do with a mobile device.
for other tasks, i'll use my laptop.
"If you can't catch criminals, criminalise the people you can catch."
"if you can't kill or change Blair & Bush, kill any of their citizens." WTF is that?
it does support chinese.
Tested on Win IE and Mac Camino

i hope some innovative high tech company can develope a wireless mousepad.
