秀一秀我的MSN Cartoon图像
June 15, 2006
MSN的Cartoon图像制作服务，从Morgan那里看到的，挺好玩儿，不过不是很像，确实偏胖。
嗯，做一套还是很有用的，可以做Live Messenger和Google Talk的图像:P。

Final Destination
January 25, 2006
看到这则新闻，想起了这个电影 – “Final Destination”。Yahoo – MSN – Google … …
Update：Abstract some from “Google in China” – Official Google Blog
Google users in China today struggle with a service that, to be blunt, isn’t very good. Google.com appears to be down around 10% of the time. Even when users can reach it, the website is slow, and sometimes produces results that when clicked on, stall out the user’s browser. Our Google News service is never available; Google Images is accessible only half the time. At Google we work hard to create a great experience for our users, and the level of service we’ve been able to provide in China is not something we’re proud of.
This problem could only be resolved by creating a local presence, and this week we did so, by launching Google.cn, our website for the People’s Republic of China. In order to do so, we have agreed to remove certain sensitive information from our search results. We know that many people are upset about this decision, and frankly, we understand their point of view. This wasn’t an easy choice, but in the end, we believe the course of action we’ve chosen will prove to be the right one.
…
Filtering our search results clearly compromises our mission. Failing to offer Google search at all to a fifth of the world’s population, however, does so far more severely. Whether our critics agree with our decision or not, due to the severe quality problems faced by users trying to access Google.com from within China, this is precisely the choice we believe we faced. By launching Google.cn and making a major ongoing investment in people and infrastructure within China, we intend to change that.
…
Obviously, the situation in China is far different than it is in those other countries; while China has made great strides in the past decades, it remains in many ways closed. We aren’t happy about what we had to do this week, and we hope that over time everyone in the world will come to enjoy full access to information. But how is that full access most likely to be achieved? We are convinced that the Internet, and its continued development through the efforts of companies like Google, will effectively contribute to openness and prosperity in the world. Our continued engagement with China is the best (perhaps only) way for Google to help bring the tremendous benefits of universal information access to all our users there.

Windows Live Messenger 8.0
January 7, 2006
已经用了一段时间了，感觉还可以，我最喜欢的几个功能是：
- 离线消息 – 这个都盼了好久了，不过还是需要对方也是8.0才行；
- MSN Space Blog 更新时间排序联系人 – 这个我很喜欢，我比较喜欢窥探别人的隐私，哈；
- Search Contact – 这个是用了Google Talk之后非常想要的功能，当联系人多了之后，还是Search这样平面的入口能够最快的帮我定位想要找的人。值得一题的是，Search和Tag的结合，让你的定位更加方便；
- Tag – 分组是解决联系人分类的一种方法，不过问题是很多联系人通常会属于多个组。比如，米嘉在我这里就可以分类到Xerdoc、大学同学、Geeks，这样，加Tag是一种更好的方式。Search Contact和Tag的结合，很方便。对了，重要的一点是，这些信息都是存在Server端。Detail is here。
- 其它很多诸如Share Folder，VoIP甚至视频点播（Gates在CES2006的Keynotes中演示的）很Cool，不过还没用过。
最后来推荐一下Live Messenger的官方Blog，看看Messenger Guys想对你说什么。
