New iTunes logo say goodbye to the CD

Jim Parsons , as Dr. Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory, won for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

From 2007, Big Bang Theory is always a hot series for the youth, especially for those head being or been permanent damaged (Permanent Head Damage as PHD). Even though I’m not a physics major, I still can find familiar scenario from my real experience in that show. This show finally reveals the true life of a group of geek, and the true fun of being a nerd.

Recommendations: if you have ever enjoy a collage life in a science or engineering school, you should take this show. If you are not interested in American Comedy, give this series a try.

说实话，看这个blog的人，如果用RSS一般都是Google Reader了（包括我）所以也就不明显，而且大多都在伟大的围城外面。所以，我也没注意盾这事。今天是在国内某SNS网站加自己的Feed的时候，很悲剧的发现不能导入，才想到Feedburner是被盾了。

其实Feedburner这种东西，本来就是集中化，为了防止经常变动blog地址，而让订阅者保持统一的一种方法，结果，这种方便反而变成一种麻烦了。哎，反正这blog也是自言自语，不用什么统计信息，不用Feedburner也罢了，link还是保留，愿意用FeedBurner的继续，国内同志们考虑直接用RSS吧。

最后罗嗦一句，果然这公司让Google买了就不是什么好事。树大招风，Google招盾….

On August 4, 2010, Google announced the suspension of standalone Wave development and the intent of maintaining the web site at least for the remainder of the year.

Google Wave, a somewhat interesting, powerful, re-inventing the email, hard to understand, complicated, web based, browser killing, collaboration system, born in May 27, 2009, is saying good bye to us. To politely say byebye to Wave, let’s first revisit the one year history of Google Wave.

The early golden age.

When Google Wave was first announced, millions of Google Fans crazy begging for a invitation for early technical preview of Google Wave. I was also asking all my geek friends for Wave invitations. People pursuing Wave is not simply because it is a new shinny Google Toy, In Google I/O 2009, Wave is promoted as ‘The Next Generation Email’ or ‘Re-Invent the Email’ . Google’s email service GMail is undoubted one of the most successful product of Google, and bring us the era of AJAX. So everyone is excited when Google announced its next move, and every spot light is focused on Google Wave.

Google Wave – Fail

The failure of Google Wave already exist when it announced, when I introducing Google Wave to my friends (who is not so Web-ish or fan Google) I can’t even simply explain what is Google Wave. The next generation email, is more like just a brand or a promotion but doesn’t means anything.  It is a collaboration tool, like a synced white board but more than that. To almost everyone including me, Google Wave is just a fancy web-based white board. Unfortunately, there were even more people doesn’t understand how white board works.

Google Wave is rather complicated, almost every user finds it is too hard to understand and work with it. The scenario is not clear, the promotion is just a high level slogan, there even aren’t a reasonable sample work case for it. The developer for Wave want it be a general platform, but the reality proves that, it is really hard for a user to adapt and find suitable scenario for such a general product.

Maybe a better marketing approach may bring Wave a better result. For example, just limit the usage such as ‘Project Managing Tool’, and provides intensive scenario by telling a story like how a project manager collaborate with his team with Google Wave. But anyway, it is all too late, users has already tired exploring ways to efficiently use this tool, and Google also give up the project.

Byebye Wave

It is really astonishing that Google announced the end of Google Wave, IMO, it is the first time that Google clearly ends a projects which is already published for open registration, and still have about one million active user. Personally, I don’t quite understand the reason here. I may guess that Google has began suffering ‘the monopoly’, just like Microsoft, when Microsoft releasing a  new product, the quality bar is rather high, because it covers such a board market, and it is really difficult to meets every request from the user. Now same effects casted on Google, when Google releasing a brand new toy, there will only be two results ‘a big success’ or ‘a big failure’, there is no trail-error now.

A lots of junk words, just personal ideas and typing for fun. Nothing serious.

And at the end, Bless Google, and Bless Bing.

本文含有剧情泄露，慎入….

表~

要知道给这样一部动画写观感是一件非常难的事情。因为大家对这部动画的期待是如此之高，而动画本身在诸多方面的不足又是如此之多。从最一般的角度上，这部动画实在算不上是什么优秀作品，能不算入很差的作品就是幸运了。但是，看在麻枝准的面子上（这人啥时候封笔？之前提过2次了已经？）还是要勉强的写几笔。

首先还是继续13话的评价吧….说实话，这个结尾是我说什么也想不到的。作为一个重度中毒的风音控，以及靠着对绝对领域团长的大爱，我是绝对不会想到这个看似主角，却在前面10集左右的时间里流离与主线之外，而在最后的一两集终于爆发出存在感，这个在官方网站和海报等居于重要位置，占据了几乎所有剧集ED中央位置的人物……………她居然真的只是个路人………

麻枝曾经说，本作还是走的感动路线。从某种意义上说，整体上作品确实还是有一些这方面的意思的。正如某人所说，列车事故最后那一段还是很感人的。确实，全片大概就是靠着这个进行渲染的。而且，从最后的结局也可以看出来，Angel Beats这个名字，其实并不是一开始大家所感觉的那种与天使的对抗啊之类的。而是说的奏（天使）的心跳。而且也解释了为什么片中标题的那个心电图一样的图示。当然光玉飘向天使这种东西不做准的，对于麻枝世界这种光玉乱飞的情节，飘忽的光玉几乎可以代表任何事情…..(但是，似乎真的是总会代表着点什么事情)

不过，虽然说从细节上或许有着很多的环环相扣和无数的铺垫，依然无法掩饰本片在剧情上的孱弱。比起麻枝准的其他作品（当然，因为表达方式不同，自然不是很容易比较），本作的感人程度明显要差上一截。本作的所有感人成分都集中在幻想世界的架构之外，因此使得这个故弄玄虚的世界设定，以及乱七八糟的相关剧情显得一文不值。全片还是保持了奏这个人物作为主角的特点，但是，由理以及整个死后世界战线的大部分人的定位完全不知所云，就算抛开我个人对于由理的情感不说，其他的人物也几乎说不上塑造，而且从最终的表现看，完全是摆设一类。反观LB以及Clannad，里面的人物不仅做到了有血有肉，本身的剧情感人，更多的是对主线产生了一种呼应，而使得他们虽然在最终的主线中并不能太多出现，但依然会给人留下深刻的印象。但整个死后世界战线在本片中基本上沦为路人，就连搞笑似乎也略显干瘪。

当然，从画面上，Na-Ga的人物设定还是算得上令人满意的。由理的设定尤其符合我的审美，加上风音姐的配合，几乎必选最萌人物。（当然，持反对者可能会很多不过无所谓）而且，从画面上，很多人物还是做的相当的优秀。虽然有些时候会存在画面崩坏的情况，虽然大部分人几乎没有特写的登场段落，但总体上，画面还是趋于稳定的。

音乐方面我不是很了解，不过，从Key还准备从音乐这方面大赚特赚一笔来讲，音乐上应该也算是下足了功夫。不多评说，总之音乐感觉还不错。

总体上，本片就是一部前期过多炒作，Key进军商业动画的一部可悲的失败作品

后文Key社相关作品严重剧泄…..

disillusion – 幻想湮灭

本作是麻枝准第二次再启动作品（第一次是Little Busters封笔之后，为Little Busters EX写剧本），从这两次的风格变迁，我们也可以看到麻枝准的世界所展现出来的一些变化。麻枝准的作品，最大的卖点，或者说是思想的核心在于”幻想世界”的构成。”幻想世界”从某种意义上说，代表了一种精神上的完美世界，或者说，是精神上进行补完的世界。而麻枝的设定，则集中于对”幻想世界”的构筑，以及”幻想世界”对现实的影响和干涉。

Clannad中，”幻想世界”最终成为了一个幸福的世界，并最终造就了After Story的Happy Ending，可以说麻枝在Clannad中集中塑造的是”幻想世界”的完美一面，或者说是幻想的一面在Little Busters中，”幻想世界”本身担负了对现实世界干涉的作用，理树和铃以及LB全员在”幻想世界”中不断成长，并最终超越了”幻想世界”，并拯救了现实世界的大家。

在原版的Little Busters里面，麻枝着力于塑造对”幻想世界”的超越。从此，麻枝准第一次宣告封笔，由此对”幻想世界”作别。
而后，为了蓄谋已久的好孩子版本Little Busters EX，麻枝准再次复出，EX中新增了三条主线和部分剧情。其中三条主线都是在已知世界的秘密之后才能进行。因为，这三条线本身依赖于对”幻想世界”的认识，甚至是依赖于refrain对于”幻想世界”超越的概
念。其中，沙耶线明显表现出了，告别”幻想世界”的概念。这三条线，最终均以三位对应的女主角在幻想世界中完成自己的心愿，而选择离开幻想世界而告终。当然，Little Busters里面的refrain已经体现出了部分的情感，在幻想世界接近崩溃的时候，komari和铃之间的那一场分别也算是相当感人的画面了，而且通过那场世界的崩溃也间接的展现了对”幻想世界”的一种别离。

今次的Angel Beat，本质上就是Little Busters EX中沙耶线的扩展板，死后的精神由于对生前世界的遗憾而遗留在”幻想世界”中等待完善，而随着心结的解开，也就自然的离开了”幻想世界”。本作中，麻枝更多的去渲染了离别的场面，以一次一次的别离来坚
定向”幻想世界”告别的信念。或许Angel Beat本身的主线并不是其感人的全部。对于所有了解麻枝准的人来说，或许这种向”幻想世界”情节致敬，随后向”幻想世界”告别的心态才是麻枝准留给所有粉丝的一记最大的催泪弹。

disillusion – 幻想湮灭 – 当一切的幻想都破灭，留给我们的就只剩下感动

以上纯粹鬼扯，如有同感纯属巧合

Apple’s market capital has surpass Microsoft, and becoming the world largest IT company. Just leave a note for that event.

AND SOME PERSONAL OPINIONS

Actually, apple deserves such a honor.  See the stock plot compares the MSFT(blue) and AAPL(red), each product launch (2007 iPhone, 2008 iPhone 3G, 2009 iPhone 3GS, early 2010 iPad) give AAPL a boost. Win 7 in mid 2009 stops the gliding, but that is all.

For the mobile market, Apple did a amazing job, iPhone OS is the long waited ideal OS for hand-hold gadgets, remember that is the first mobile OS Apple ever made (think about WinCE and WM, and WP7?). For me Kim is a disaster, I’ve no idea why MS is trying to build so many different platforms and distract all its energy. Several bad products won’t add up to a success but a bad company, Apple didn’t build too much product, they just build it right. If MS wants to push WP7, then please believe it is the one, build all level of phones, tablets and gadgets on WP7 system, don’t waste time for a sad item on the FY report.

Apparently, Google is promoting its long lived failure product – Orkut.

Orkut is a social network web-app which is even older than Facebook! (Facebook is launched Feb.4 2004, while Orkut is Jan 2004) While, it is a Google Failure (not very often ha?), 6 years later, Google promoting it again. I don’t quite understand why, for me, Buzz is even better than this.

Don’t want to say too much words on this, but social network web-app is not a easy market, and for me it seems that still not clear how to make it really works…..

很无奈的，期待已久的更新居然是动漫相关。各位看官见谅了。

在某地看到了很有爱的图，可惜没有标明人物名字。还好鄙人很有爱的仅通过鞋袜等装饰就将诸位一一区分，耐心给标了个名字（BM之邪恶表露无疑）。总之，完全个人爱好，各位enjoy。

这么久没更新，居然还好意思出来换Teaser….拖出去XXX
总归，换上了ハルカ感觉还不错

期待已久的更新居然这样没有内容….实在令看官失望。
争取逐渐多一些有意思的内容

恭贺新禧，虎年吉祥，虎虎生威～
