今日科技速遞:全新黑莓Z10評(píng)測(cè)
????黑莓全新出擊 《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》 ????黑莓10的一些創(chuàng)意確實(shí)堪稱獨(dú)創(chuàng)。屏幕上方有一道閃爍的微光,用來(lái)提示有東西正等著機(jī)主去處理,包括文本、電子郵件、語(yǔ)音郵件和Facebook的帖子。不用按任何物理按鍵就能點(diǎn)開屏幕;用拇指滑過(guò)屏幕,鎖屏就會(huì)像窗簾一樣掀起來(lái),顯示下面的內(nèi)容。它速度飛快,酷勁十足。 ????屏幕上沒(méi)有短信或郵件的獨(dú)立應(yīng)用圖標(biāo)。所有的溝通渠道(包括Facebook、Twitter和電話)都列在一個(gè)集成條(Hub)里——這是一個(gè)向里點(diǎn)擊就會(huì)顯示在屏幕左側(cè)的主收件箱列表。每個(gè)圖標(biāo)都會(huì)顯示有多少條待處理信息,并可一鍵打開相應(yīng)的應(yīng)用。這是個(gè)一站式的命令中心,用起來(lái)感覺(jué)很好。 ????黑莓背水一戰(zhàn)內(nèi)幕《財(cái)富》雜志 ????手機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)一直都是勞心費(fèi)力的事。黑莓Q10還以經(jīng)典的物理鍵盤而聞名,到了Z10,就變成一款更像是iPhone或Android的觸摸屏手機(jī)了。觸屏鍵盤下有個(gè)熱圖,使用的時(shí)候,各個(gè)鍵的位置會(huì)根據(jù)敲擊情況自動(dòng)調(diào)整——從而減少拼寫錯(cuò)誤。軟件的細(xì)節(jié)是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)披露的,其中有一項(xiàng)新功能叫“快瞥”(peek),它能讓用戶移開自己正在處理的任務(wù)去看一下通知,然后迅速返回。另一項(xiàng)名為“流動(dòng)”(flow)的功能讓用戶可在各應(yīng)用間滑動(dòng),可讓多個(gè)應(yīng)用同時(shí)運(yùn)行。 ????Facebook手機(jī)廣告收入占第4財(cái)季廣告總收入1/4 科技博客THE NEXT WEB ????總體情況是,F(xiàn)acebook第四財(cái)季的總收入為15.85億美元,比上一年增長(zhǎng)40%。絕大部分收入來(lái)自廣告,總額為13.3億美元,占總收入的84%。公司稱,該財(cái)季的廣告收入比去年同期增長(zhǎng)41%——如果Facebook排除匯率的年度變化,那這一增長(zhǎng)率應(yīng)該是43%。 ????亞馬遜如何馴服投資者 《哈佛商業(yè)評(píng)論》 ????貝索斯是怎么做到這一點(diǎn)的?作為一個(gè)對(duì)沖基金老手,他對(duì)華爾街始終持懷疑態(tài)度,將華爾街視為呆頭呆腦的有錢大叔,而不是遵循標(biāo)準(zhǔn)金融理論的高效的信息處理高手。華爾街大叔(也叫市場(chǎng)先生)慷慨大方時(shí),貝索斯總能抓住機(jī)會(huì)大筆投資,不計(jì)較盈利。但當(dāng)他們變得吝嗇時(shí),他也總能迅速跟著改變節(jié)奏。 ????Twitter有成好萊塢靈感新源泉 英國(guó)《連線》雜志 ????帕納喬普羅斯的豪放泰迪熊只能算是個(gè)開始。去年,好萊塢開始從出人意料的來(lái)源尋找新的創(chuàng)意。2011年8月,一則在紅迪網(wǎng)(Reddit)上貼出的話題提出設(shè)想,一支海軍小分隊(duì)被運(yùn)往古羅馬時(shí)期會(huì)發(fā)生什么故事,結(jié)果華納兄弟影業(yè)(Warner Brothers)出面邀請(qǐng)這則話題的策劃者詹姆斯?埃爾文加盟。社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)正在成為電影業(yè)靈感的來(lái)源。網(wǎng)上貼出的任何內(nèi)容都有可能成為電影業(yè)捕捉的對(duì)象。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:清遠(yuǎn) |
????BlackBerry, rebuilt, lives to fight another day [THE NEW YORK TIMES] ????Some of BlackBerry 10's ideas are truly ingenious. A subtle light blinks above the screen to indicate that something — a text, an e-mail message, voice mail, a Facebook post — is waiting for you. Without even pressing a physical button, you swipe up the screen; the Lock screen lifts like a drape as you slide your thumb, revealing what's underneath. It's fast and cool. ????There are no individual app icons for Messages or Mail. Instead, all communication channels (including Facebook, Twitter and phone calls) are listed in the Hub — a master in-box list that appears at the left edge when you swipe inward. Each reveals how many new messages await and offers a one-tap jump into the corresponding app. It's a one-stop command center that makes eminent sense. ????Inside BlackBerry's last stand [FORTUNE] ????The design of the phones have been labored over. The Q10 sports a classical physical keyboard and the Z10 is more like a typical iPhone or Android with a touchscreen. The touchscreen keyboard has a heat map beneath it so that, as customers use it, the position of keys adjusts to their keystrokes—leading to fewer spelling mistakes. The software, details of which have come out in dribs and drabs, introduces new features like "peek," which allows users to move aside the task they're working on to glance at notifications and then quickly come back. Another feature dubbed "flow" allows users to swipe between applications, keeping many open simultaneously. ????Facebook's mobile ad revenue made up 23% of its total ad revenue in Q4, worth $305 million [THE NEXT WEB] ????To paint a bigger picture, Facebook made $1.585 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter, an increase of 40 percent from the year prior. The majority of it came from advertising constituting $1.33 billion, or 84 percent of total revenue. The company says that the ad revenue this quarter is a 41 percent increase from the same quarter last year — it would have been 43 percent if Facebook excluded the impact of year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates. ????How Amazon trained its investors to behave [HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW] ????How has Bezos done this? Well, he's a hedge fund veteran who has always taken a skeptical view of Wall Street, treating it more as a loopy rich uncle than the efficient information processor of standard finance theory. When Uncle Wall Street (also known as Mr. Market) is in a generous mood, Bezos is always ready to take advantage by putting investment ahead of profitability. But he's also always been ready to shift gears when the mood turns stingy. ????How your next tweet could become a Hollywood blockbuster [WIRED UK] ????Panagopolous' brave teddy is just the start. In the past year, Hollywood has started to look in unexpected places for its ideas. In August 2011, a Reddit thread which posed the question of how a marine platoon transported to Roman times would fare resulted in an offer from Warner Brothers for its mastermind, James Erwin. Social networks are starting to inspire. Anything posted online is fair game. |
