夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。
      秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。
       
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
            And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign.


                                                           -----泰戈尔,《飞鸟集》



飞鸟是那么的悠闲和写意啊!
她何时又能够理解落叶的悲伤?
生活是那么的无法预知,
未来永远是那么的迷茫,
快乐的飞鸟啊!
希望你永远能够快乐。
而悲伤了落叶啊!
你的悲伤也正映射这我心中的无奈。

Wall-climbling robot scales nearly any building material

可以在几乎任何建筑材料上攀爬的机器人


Most of the bots we've seen recently have either been targeted at performing human-like tasks or simply too adorable to actually fear, but SRI International's wall-climbing robot is doing its best to put some terror back in the bot game, using something called "electro-adhesion" to cling to nearly any building material and climb with surprising alacrity. Electro-adhesion is apparently relatively low-power, and SRI researchers say that the bots can even climb walls that are covered in dust or othr debris. Interesting -- just don't give the thing any cameras or lasers, okay? Video after the break.

我们目前所见的机器人要么致力于完成人类的工作,要么就趋向于可爱型。但是SRI国际出品的墙壁爬行机器人正尽最大努力把恐怖带到目前的机器人游戏中。采用一种叫“静电吸附”的玩意,非常灵敏的在几乎任何建筑材料上攀爬。静电吸附很显然耗能很低,并且SRI的研究人员称该机器人甚至能够攀爬覆盖这灰尘或其他碎片的墙壁。嗯,很有意思,这是别再这玩意身上加装摄像镜头或者激光器,好吗?

Samsung's 12.1-inch OLED laptop concept makes us swoon

三星的12.1英寸概念笔记本然人眼前一亮

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 16th 2008 at 2:57AM


As much as we would loath typing on that touch-sensitive, rigid keyboard, we're definitely geek-smitten by this ultra-thin, AMOLED laptop concept from Samsung SDI -- Sammy's display division. 12.1-inches and 1,280 x 768 resolution with infinite contrast? We'll take two... just as soon as someone can explain the extra panel around back. With Samsung projecting 14- to 15.4-inch OLED laptops in 2009, this might come sooner than you think.

当我们已经厌烦了不停地敲击那些刚硬的,触敏式键盘的时候,三星Sammy显示器部门制造的超薄,配备AMOLED的概念笔记本然我们眼前一亮。21.1英寸1280 x768分辨率,以及无限对比度?如果有人能解释一下那个屏幕后面的附加面板是干什么用的,我就买两台根据三星2009年推出1415.4英寸OLED笔记本计划,这款产品可能发布的比你预期的还要早。

世界上最美丽的英文:Love


   I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.
  我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
                 
  No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.
  没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。

  The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. 
  失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边。
                 
  Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your   smile.
  纵然伤心,也不要悉眉不展,因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。
                 
  To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.
  对于世界而言,你是一个人;但是对于某人,你是他的整个世界。
                 
  Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
  不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。
                 
  Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
  爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
                 
  Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.
  不要着急,最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。
                 
  Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
  在遇到梦中人之前,上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人;在我们终于遇见心仪的人时,便应当心存感激。
                 
  Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
  不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。
                 
  Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.
  -------Sir Thomas Browne

  “生命是束纯净的火焰,我们依靠自己内心看不见的太阳而存在。”
   --------托马斯.布朗爵士

Microsoft says no new Xbox 360s in 2009

2009年发布新型Xbox 360?微软说:No!





 

Sounds like that rumor about a new, smaller Xbox 360 coming next year might have a shorter life than a red-ringing console. Specifying the release of "slimmed down SKU in 2009", Microsoft representative let us know today that "While we don't normally comment on rumors like this, we can tell you that we have no plans to release a new console in 2009". Yep, rumor assassinated, just like that. Of course, there still exists the possibility that Microsoft's just playing coy to prevent a little bit of Osborne effect from creeping in during their heated battle with the PS3 -- but they did go out of their way to directly comment on the rumor, so take it as you will.

看来关于微软将在2009年推出新型并且体积更小的Xbox 360这条传闻的寿命比其“红色警铃”主机的寿命还短。特别针对日前关于让出的“2009年推出瘦身的SKU”消息,微软的发言人今天说:“虽然我们通常不对这些传言进行评论,但是我们可以告诉你微软目前并没有任何2009年发布新主机的计划”。是的,传闻就这样被扼杀了。当然,还存在一种可能性,即微软为了避免在与PS3不断加剧的战争中出现Osborne效应(即过热反而冷得快)而故做姿态,但是他们这次的确不怕麻烦而直接对传闻进行评论,所以,信不信由你啦!

Vita Audio adds a splash of luxury to R4 iPod / DAB radio

Vita音响又增加了一个令人瞩目的奢侈品,R4iPod/DAB收音机

by Darren Murph, posted May 12th 2008 at 6:09PM


 

Nothing says sexy like a sleek wood trim, wouldn't you wholeheartedly agree? Vita Audio obviously does, as it's £499.99 ($980) R4 integrated music system just screams lavish. The all-in-one unit packs an iPod dock, slot-loading CD / MP3 / WMA-music disc player, USB port, DAB and FM tuner with RDS, front and rear auxiliary ports, built-in display, alarm clock function and the firm's detachable RotoDial remote. For those not feeling the rich walnut veneer, there's also a high-gloss white (surprised?) version available for £50 ($97) more. Sadly, the "coming soon" tidbit leaves us clueless as to how long you actually have left to save up for either of the pricey systems.

如果说没有什么比圆滑的木饰更加性感,你会不会完全同意呢?显然Vita音响这样认为,从其及奢华的R4集成音响系统(售价£499.99$980)中可见一斑。这台多合一的设备集成了iPod 基座,吸入式CD / MP3 / WMA音乐播放器,USB接口,具备无限数据广播系统(RDS)的数字广播(DAB)和FM调谐器,前后辅助接口,内置液晶,闹钟以及可分离式“RotoDial”遥控器。对于那些对桃木面饰不敏感的用户,还有一款高亮白的型号可供选择(惊奇吧?),但其价格要贵上£50 ($97)。不幸的是,无论你选那一款,这个“将要到来”的小奢侈品都毫无置疑的掏空你的积蓄。

 Renault / Project Better Place shows off new electric sedan prototype

雷诺/ Project Better Place 展示其新产品:电动私家车原型


by Ryan Block, posted May 11th 2008 at 10:12PM


We'd heard Renault was prepping a new electric car in conjunction with EV start-up Project Better Place, but no one had actually seen the thing until its unveiling today in Tel Aviv. The car itself only has a 125 mile range, which is where Project Better Place's network of charging and battery swap stations come in. But since those aren't intended for rollout until 2010 in Israel and Denmark, Renault won't have any EVs immediately available to buyers -- making this consumer-friendly sedan more of a precursor to the supposed $0.5-1 billion the Renault-Nissan alliance are lining up to invest in their respective electric vehicle businesses.

之前我们已经听说了雷诺和Project Better Place准备联合推出一款新型电驱动轿车,而时至今日,雷诺才在特拉维夫揭开了它的神秘面纱。该款轿车的一次充电行驶范围是125英里,符合Project Better Place所架设电池交换充电站网络的需求。但是由于该产品在丹麦和以色列的上市计划是2010年,雷诺公司目前并没有提供产品给消费者。这使得这款用户友好型私家车更像是雷诺-尼桑同盟在各自电子汽车产业5-10亿美金投资的一个先导。

这是一首电影的主题曲,电影的名字叫《星尘》
前一段时间看了这部电影,不经意间勾起了童年对童话的美好回忆,从情节上来看,这部电影是一部非常老套的王子-公主爱情+冒险故事,但是以现代电影的方式重新演绎,再加上英国人那种含蓄的幽默,看过之后也很令人回味。
回想起来,这些年来这种类型的电影还真的不是很多见,这部虽然不能够算作经典,但是它对人心灵和情感的触碰却很是到位。

这首歌曲属于那种很耐听的那种,听过之后感觉非常的好。


附歌词:

Artist: Take That
Song: Rule the world

You light the skies, up above me
A star, so bright, you blind me, yeah
Don't close your eyes
Don't fade away, don't fade away
Oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world

If walls break down, I will comfort you
If angels cry, oh I'Il be there for you
You've saved my soul
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world
Yeah you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world-
Ooooooooh

All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you-
Ooooooooh

母亲一生撒的8个谎言(摘自《经典文章》) 
  
1、儿时,小男孩家很穷,吃饭时,饭常常不够吃,母亲就把自己碗里的饭分给孩子吃。母亲说,孩子们,快吃吧,我不饿!——母亲撒的第一个谎

2、男孩长身体的时候,勤劳的母亲常用周日休息时间去县郊农村河沟里捞些鱼来给孩子们补钙。鱼很好吃,鱼汤也很鲜。孩子们吃鱼的时候,母亲就在一旁啃鱼骨头,用舌头舔鱼骨头上的肉渍。男孩心疼,就把自己碗里的鱼夹到母亲碗里,请母亲吃鱼。母亲不吃,母亲又用筷子把鱼夹回男孩的碗里。母亲说,孩子,快吃吧,我不爱吃鱼!——母亲撒的第二个谎

3、上初中了,为了缴够男孩和哥姐的学费,当缝纫工的母亲就去居委会领些火柴盒拿回家来,晚上糊了挣点分分钱补点家用。有个冬天,男孩半夜醒来,看到母亲还躬着身子在油灯下糊火柴盒。男孩说,母亲,睡了吧,明早您还要上班呢。母亲笑笑,说,孩子,快睡吧,我不困!——母亲撒的第三个谎

4、高考那年,母亲请了假天天站在考点门口为参加高考的男孩助阵。时逢盛夏,烈日当头,固执的母亲在烈日下一站就是几个小时。考试结束的铃声响了,母亲迎上去递过一杯用罐头瓶泡好的浓茶叮嘱孩子喝了,茶亦浓,情更浓。望着母亲干裂的嘴唇和满头的汗珠,男孩将手中的罐头瓶反递过去请母亲喝。母亲说,孩子,快喝吧,我不渴!——母亲撒的第四个谎

5、父亲病逝之后,母亲又当爹又当娘,靠着自己在缝纫社里那点微薄收入含辛茹苦拉扯着几个孩子,供他们念书,日子过得苦不堪言。胡同路口电线杆下修表的李叔叔知道后,大事小事就找岔过来打个帮手,搬搬煤,挑挑水,送些钱粮来帮补男孩的家里。人非草木,孰能无情。左邻右舍对此看在眼里,记在心里,都劝母亲再嫁,何必苦了自己。然而母亲多年来却守身如玉,始终不嫁,别人再劝,母亲也断然不听,母亲说,我不爱!——撒的第五个谎

6、男孩和她的哥姐大学毕业参加工作后,下了岗的母亲就在附近农贸市场摆了个小摊维持生活。身在外地工作的孩子们知道后就常常寄钱回来补贴母亲,母亲坚决不要,并将钱退了回去。母亲说,我有钱!——撒的第六个谎

7、男孩留校任教两年,后又考取了美国一所名牌大学的博士生,毕业后留在美国一家科研机构工作,待遇相当丰厚,条件好了,身在异国的男孩想把母亲接来享享清福却被老人回绝了。母亲说,我不习惯!——撒的第七个谎

8、晚年,母亲患了重病,住进了医院,远在大西洋彼岸的男孩乘飞机赶回来时,术后的母亲已是奄奄一息了。母亲老了,望着被病魔折磨得死去活来的母亲,男孩悲痛欲绝,潸然泪下。母亲却说,孩子,别哭,我不疼。——撒的最后一个谎

衷心祝愿天下的母亲永远健康,幸福!
