周末去 Mall,领导发现新大陆似地报告新闻:就在苹果专卖店(Apple Store)对面,出了一家 Microsoft Store,声势很大,店铺面积更大,不日开张,存心是唱对台戏嘛。 天哪!这叫啥啊?声势管神马,还是亮亮货色吧。这边厢硬的卖 iMac,MacBook, iPod,iPhone,iPad,软的卖 OS-X,iLife 和 iWork (也卖微软 Office for Mac),那边厢硬的除了游戏机就一片空白,软的除了Office,都提不上手,怎么比啊? 头脑里嗡嗡地只有两个成语在打架:东施效颦,班门弄斧。 芸芸大众,平平者居多。丑女东施如果混在草民之中,虽有碍市容,但不显眼,也无大碍。可她偏偏要学西施,还要招摇过市,岂能不成笑柄? 参见: Apple Store, Meet Microsoft Store http://www.gossipgamers.com/apple-store-meet-microsoft-store/
Hello everyone, I would like to invite you visit www.open-ocean.org ,a community outreach website for oceanography and related fields that I've created together with a web programmer friend of mine, Ryan Avery. This website ap plies "Facebook" or blog-style social networking technology to let scientists communicate basic ideas directly to the public. I believe it is important for those of us who study the Earth to tell people about our work. Otherwise, our efforts will create new knowledge but will not impact people's feelings . Fellow researchers like yourself would be very welcome and encouraged to sign up and contribute. You can acknowledge your funding agency and grant number, thus having a quantifiable outreach activity to show program managers.You can also include optional links to animations as well as to a project page. To make life easy, I have been trying to put my college experience in journalism to good use, by working with the authors to help write captions for the general public (if so desired). I hope you enjoy it. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome. Best regards, --- Jonathan
