Jeffrey Strain做了挺有意思的总结，看看自己的是否曾经或者将要被这些促销迷惑了呢^_^ It's one of life's ironies that retailers try to lure you into their stores with low prices, only to do everything in their power to make sure you spend more than you intended once you're inside. It's important to understand these methods so you don't fall for them. Double Discounts: Retailers know that most people aren't good at math, and they take advantage of this. More and more are using double discounts to earn more money while making customers think they are getting a better deal than they actually are. For example, if you are given a choice of buying a $100 item at 45% off, or buying the same item at 20% off with 30% additional taken off at the register, which would you choose? Most people simply add the 20% and 30% and assume that they are getting 50% off the item. When you do the math, however, it doesn't work out that way. Taking 45% off of $100 means the item sells for $55. But if 20% off $100 is $80; taking 30% off that $80 leaves you with an additional $24 discount, for a price of $56, or a dollar more. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research indicates that shoppers are likely to feel the double discount is a better value. Fight Back: Do the math before buying. If you can't do the calculations in your head, purchase an inexpensive calculator and carry it around when you go shopping. If you see an item that comes with a double discount, the store may be attempting to make you believe you are getting a better price than you are. Pricing items at $9.99 vs. $10: Studies have found that when prices end in 9, consumers end up spending more money. While this might seem strange, there are various theories as to why this happens. Most note that when people process information, the first number they read has a stronger impression than the following numbers. So $9.99 seems much lower than $10. Another theory is that pricing items this way makes it more difficult to calculate and compare unit prices. For example, if a 200-ounce package of an item is $3 and a 400-ounce package of the same item is $5, it's fairly easy to calculate that the 400-ounce package is a better value. But when the same items are priced $2.99 and $4.99, respectively, they may appear to be the approximately same price, since the first numbers are what register and two is half of four. Fight Back: Instead of looking at the first number, make a conscious effort to round everything up when doing your calculations. This is another reason to take a calculator when you shop: it can help you work out the true price if you have trouble doing calculations in your head. Three for $9.99: Stores will often offer multiple items for a single price, such as three for $9.99. Most people assume that they need to purchase three of the items to get this "special" price so they buy more than they really need. The truth is that unless the items are marked at higher individual prices or the label says something like "must purchase quantity stated to get discount," you can buy a single item for $3.33. Fight Back: Get in the habit of purchasing only the amount you really need. Buy One, Get One Free: This is another promotion that can mislead you into thinking you're getting a good deal. It's often difficult to tell whether you would pay half as much for purchasing a single unit or, for that matter, whether the price of a single unit has been inflated to take into account the extra item being "given away." Many times the "buy one, get one free" offers are not better than the regular price of purchasing two items. Fight Back: Before purchasing a buy-one-get-one-free item, find out what the regular price of that item is. Then do the math to see if you're really getting a bargain. "Sale" doesn't mean a discount price: Retailers play on the assumptions you make. Consumers are trained that "sale" means a good price and these items are usually advertised in big, bright lettering at the end of store aisles. The problem is that what the stores call a "sale" may not give you a very good price. (Check out The Grocery Store Game (Janine Bolan), page 28, for other tips of this ilk.) So the casual passerby will see the item is "on sale" and buy the product assuming it's a good price, when it isn't necessarily so. Fight Back: Don't assume things on the end of an aisle or that are marked as "on sale" are actually a good price. Make a grocery price book so you know a good price and always compare the prices with other similar items. Putting things at eye level: When you walk down the aisles of the store, notice what items are at eye level. They will be the ones that are the most profitable for the store, which usually means the most expensive ones. This is because stores know you are much more likely to see and choose something at eye level than something on the top or bottom shelf. Fight Back: When shopping, be sure to look high and low before deciding which product to purchase. You'll often find what you're looking for at a lower price on another shelf. Stores are quite sophisticated when it comes to getting you to part with your money. If you understand how they are trying to manipulate you, you are less likely to fall into these traps and hold onto more of your hard-earned money. Copyrighted, TheStreet.Com. All rights reserved. January 07 Wanna build up your own search engine? Try Wikia search now!
The site that's launching today is for users who want to "help us build a search engine," Wales said. So don't expect a Wikia-powered Google killer on Day One. "We want to be sure people aren't expecting a Google-quality experience on Monday." Here's what Wikia is building: a human-ranked search engine and mini-Wiki, with a social network angle. The first two parts are the most interesting.
Not a black box.Wales says that initially the engine will crawl and index the Web, and give users algorithmically generated results. But users will be able to rank results up or down, which will have a strong influence on further results. This extra, intentional step of rating results will, I am sure, help little-known but high-quality pages rise in the rankings, and encourage link-farmed search spam to sink. Assuming, that is, that users take the time to rate, and that suitable antigaming technologies are put in place. I tried a preview of the alpha on Saturday and couldn't see how users rate results. Hopefully the rating function will be added before launch. Google, by the way, also applies human intelligence to its search results; see the Q&A with Google's Peter Norvig in MIT's Technology Review.
Wikia Search: Where users help guide other users. Users will be able to contribute mini-articles that live at the top of search pages (much like Ask's search toppers, I imagine). As on any Wiki, people will be able to edit and comment on the articles. This could become the best feature of the Wikia Search experience. These little guides dropped into search results pages by fellow surfers remind me of the hobo code marks: helpful advice left by other travelers who've been before where you are going now. Wikia Search will have another social angle. Users will be able to find other contributors to work on the search engine with them, behind the scenes from the masses who just want results. It appears that Wikia Search users will also be able to attach their profiles to particular search results, indicating if they are an expert (or, I suppose, have a business interest in) what the search is about. Wikia Search is all open source. Anyone will be able to download the code for the engine and the crawler. Some people will use this to tweak their Web sites so the Wikia Search engine ranks it more highly. But other people will try to improve the code itself, which could have a very interesting effect on SEO (search engine optimization) industry once and if Wikia Search gets big enough to matter. Wales maintains that since users will be rating pages, there will be no "search engine optimization" to perform other than creating content and sites people like. Unless I am missing something, even with the option to put human ratings on pages, most pages will remain unrated. The algorithm will still matter. I do have high hopes for Wikia Search, though, since the idea of an open algorithm that is transparent, and transparently updated, strikes me as a lot more fair than the current black-box search engines run by Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Ask. Can Wikia Search succeed? Web search is a difficult and expensive business, but as Wales says, "It monetizes well." Unlike many other crackpot sites we see, with search, if the users come, the money follows. Try out the very early, very rough Wikia Search at alpha.search.wikia.com. And see also Mahalo, an evolving human-powered Web guide. Currently, Mahalo primarily uses paid staffers to create its topic pages, but a new "Mahalo Follow" feature lets users easily recommend sites to the engine--a more cost-effective way to quickly build a library of human-approved links.

偶最喜欢其内置无线与VISTA 自如链接和超短焦， 这样又就方便了很多。 最近呀，偶在梦想着早点搞一个4核处理器的机器，在目前的各类系统软件，安全软件，媒体软件，办公软件和数据分析软件的基础上,想体验飞一样的感觉。再过一段，随着软件的升级，估计4核和现在的2核又没啥感觉了。http://news.mydrivers.com/1/97/97731.htm是一个AMD4核处理器的测试结果的链接，挺不错的，Mooi...^_^ 顺便推荐一个Firefox的插件啦，这个插件整合了Apple的Safari浏览器一个很有特点的Snapback的功能。 介绍啦：One of the niftier functions of Apple's Safari browser is the SnapBack function. Now a Firefox extension with the same name of SnapBack introduces this feature to Mozilla users and comes with some helpful options beyond the base function of providing a quick way to return to an impermanent bookmark. By letting users set an impermanent bookmark, they can carry on with their usual Web browsing behavior, but are never more than one click away from jumping back to the page set as the SnapBack. Excellent for keeping track of main pages when participating in Web forums or other sites where it's easy to lose track of an important page as your drill through the content, SnapBack for Firefox is simple and effective.
SnapBack can be accessed from a toolbar icon as shown, as well as the context menu and the menubar. A toolbar icon makes using the feature easy to get to, but there's also a customizable hotkey command option for those who don't like to take their paws off their keyboards, and you can add SnapBack's option to your context menu. Beyond setting the SnapBack page and the SnapBack action, the plug-in also has a Clear function for wiping the SnapBack page from memory. Unfortunately, the only way to access the options menu to change the hotkeys is through the main Add-Ons menu. This minor drawback shouldn't keep you from trying this snappy way to return from whence you came. source: Seth Rosenblatt, Make your Firefox SnapBack http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-9840768-12.html?tag=dlblog-post December 21 聖誕夜节目单 ^_^CCGN 聖誕夜 – MAIN PROGRAM Rundown

December 17 Google's Knol experiment to rival Wikipedia?
From what we know so far, Knol is a wiki-like platform. Authors can create topics, and there are tools to interlink articles and content, but as Manber says, an article, or "knol," is "just a Web page." Where it differs from a wiki is its focus on the author. All knols will highlight who wrote them.
Knol should make it easy to create nicely formatted reference pages. That small difference becomes dramatic when you put Knol alongside Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative system. There is no author listed on a wiki page because a page may have many authors (if you want to, you can divine who said what on the history pages). Since Knol pages will be authored, users won't, presumably, be able to dive in and edit another page. They'll be able to submit edits to the author for approval, though. So much for open collaboration. But as a platform for authors who might want to make some money from their work, it's a better bet (Knol will allow authors to monetize their pages as they see fit). Purists may think that since Google is in the business of monetizing content via advertising, it should not compete with other publishing platforms. However, this is not the first time that Google has gotten into this business. Blogger, of course, is Google's biggest success in text-publishing platforms. But Google also experimented with its own database, Google Base, in which it not only indexes the information but also stores it. And then there's YouTube. I would compare Knol to Blogger, and eventually, I think it will have Digg-like elements. Knol is like Blogger because it's a personal publishing platform. It's all about giving authors a platform for writing. It's just a like a blog, but much more structured. If you like a Knoller, you'll likely want to read more written by that person, or even subscribe to his work. It could become Digg-like, in that multiple Knol pages on the same topic will compete with each other. And while the Manber's post hinted that the arbiter of Knol quality will be Google search rankings, I cannot imagine that there won't, at some point, be both a social network of Knol users and a main page that ranks the most popular Knol pages by votes, page views, discussion flow, or other group metrics. At this point, based only on the official blog post, Knol looks like a solid end-user publishing platform. I strongly doubt that it will put much of a hurt on Wikipedia, since its author focus makes it much the antithesis of the open, community-driven wiki model. Knol looks more like a Google version of About.com, Mahalo, or Squidoo. No word on when--or if--Knol will be released to the public.

Because Microsoft often gets rapped for delivering products late, it seems worth noting that, on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007, it delivered a product early. The software maker issued the first service pack update to Office 2007, roughly a year after the product first became available to businesses. The new update, which has gotten a whole lot less attention that Vista SP1, adds largely performance and stability improvements, along with making the server components of Office fully compatible with the forthcoming Windows Server 2008 update. "These enhancements span the software applications and servers that home and office workers use each day and will make the 2007 Office system an even more robust and effective productivity tool," Office product manager Reed Shaffner said in a feature posted to Microsoft's Web site. "In essence, SP1 targets the issues that customers told us mattered to them most." Microsoft said the download is available now and customers can also order a CD with the update. At some later date, Microsoft said it will make the service pack available through automatic update. Shaffner said he hoped the release will remove any lingering doubts that the product is ready for prime time. "We recently passed the 12 million mark in trial downloads of the 2007 release from Microsoft.com," he said. "We're optimistic that with the shipment of SP1 we're removing any residual barriers that may have impeded deployment and that adoption will only accelerate. In the meantime, we'll continue to listen intently to our customers and deliver on their changing needs." Flash News Title 2: Microsoft fixes 11 flaws in 7 patches; 5 affect Windows VistaMicrosoft on Tuesday released its December 2007 security bulletin, which includes seven updates: three are designated as critical by the software giant and four are deemed important. On the Windows side is a cumulative update for Internet Explorer, plus patches for the Windows Kernel, DirectX, Macrovision Driver, and the Windows Media File format--the latter three suggest concern that criminal hackers are targeting media files for exploitation. There are no Microsoft Office updates this month. All Microsoft security patches for Windows and Office software are available via Microsoft Update or via the individual bulletins detailed below.

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2007"for having laid the foundations of mechanism design theory"
Leonid Hurwicz Eric S. Maskin Roger B. Myerson
University of Minnesota Institute for Advanced Study University of Chicago Theory Background In the mid 20th century, economists found themselves in need of a new theoretical framework with which to tackle the comparison of fundamentally different types of economic organization, such as capitalist and socialist institutions. Discussions between the likes of Oskar Lange and Friedrich von Hayek led to the development of the idea that economic institutions could be viewed as communication mechanisms, and set the stage for Leonid Hurwicz to formulate a general mathematical framework for analyzing institutions implementing collective decision making. His 'Mechanism design theory', first introduced in 1960, has developed into a powerful and widely-applied tool. Whether one considers auctions, elections or the taxes we pay, our lives are governed by mechanisms which make collective decisions while attempting to take account of individual preferences. Such mechanisms are designed to deliver the greatest social good despite that fact that individual participants may act for their own gain, rather than for the general well-being of society. Studying such mechanisms is the goal of mechanism design theory, and mechanism design can be described as the art of producing institutions that align individual incentives with overall social goals. Mechanism design theory is a branch of game theory (which psychologists refer to as the theory of social situations), and extends the application of game theory to ask about the consequence of applying different types of rules to a given problem. As a method of demonstrating which mechanism, out of all conceivable allocation mechanisms, gives the optimal result, mechanism design theory can be applied to problems as diverse as the auctioning of radio frequencies to mobile phone companies to the building of social welfare systems. Mechanism design theory lies at the heart of many organizations whose operation we now take for granted. Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson were classmates at Harvard University, both graduating with doctorates in advanced mathematics in the same year. Their work has been instrumental in expanding the applicability of mechanism design theory to a wider variety of situations. At 90 years old, Leonid Hurwicz is the oldest person ever to be made a Laureate, the previous holder of that record being Raymond Davis Jr., who was almost 88 when he became a Physics Laureate in 2002. Background of Nobel Prize for EconomicsIn 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established this Prize in memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The first Prize in Economics was awarded to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen (Netherlands) in 1969.

March 19 一个有意思的研究结果The most effective way to prevent hospital infection lies in good hand hygiene practice of healthcare workers (Source: Centers for Disease Control). In order to make healthcare workers aware of the importance of hand hygiene, a study was carried out at the Erasmus Medical Center by NewCompliance – a company set up by alumni of RSM Erasmus University..
It examined the effect that toilet paper printed with hand hygiene messages, has on the hand hygiene behaviour of healthcare workers. Four separate departments began using this printed toilet paper. Not only the use of the printed toilet paper was a first. Equally innovative was the way in which hand hygiene was quantified. This was done using a purpose-built sensor system, developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Delft.
On average, between 5 and 10 percent of patients admitted to hospital in the Netherlands develop a hospital infection. In other words, each year, this problem affects some 100,000 patients, of whom about 1,000 die. Source: Handboek Kwaliteit van Zorg, 2004 (Handbook of Quality of Care). Hospital infections involve considerable additional costs, which have to be paid by the healthcare institution and the healthcare insurer. In the Netherlands, much suffering and many potential deaths could be prevented, if the hand hygiene behaviour of healthcare workers were structurally improved. 题后语：看看其这么先进的手纸了，第一次见吧，呵呵 February 17 新年天气预报今天晚上大面积地区有时下人民币有时下港币，东南方向可能有美金，局部地区甚至有金块！气象部门提醒你：头戴钢盔，手提麻袋，准备发财！ 同时根据本气象站的个人气象卫星分析为您特得到下面的报告 ： 运气追着你，美事跟着你，金钱贴着你，贵人帮助你，祸事躲着你，小人绕着你，爱人念着你，家人挂着你，上天保佑你，我在祝福你。祝你猪年大吉！ 总之哦，各位亲爱的弟兄姐妹，祝福猪年行大运，万事如意！ January 19 Hurrican!!!多多保重哦大家Tips:能不出门就不出门，出门在外，保护好脸部，以免树枝刮伤，把眼镜摘下。下面是对今天风暴的报道和图片的链接。多多保重哦！Five dead as storm batters NetherlandsThursday 18 January 2007 http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2007/01/five_dead_as_storm_batters_netherlands.php Pictures on http://www.nu.nl/rubriek/928778/700 At least five people were killed as winds of up to 130kph battered the Netherlands on Thursday evening. Ten thousand commuters were stranded at railway stations as the rail network shut down. On the roads, there were long delays as storm damage led to motorway closures. Only one of Schiphol airport’s five runways was operating. Two people were killed when a tree crashed onto their car in Ede. In Leersum, a motorcyclist was killed in an accident involving a fallen tree and in Riel in Brabant, a child on a bike was blown under a car. Later in the evening, a man on a moped died when a tree fell on him in Noord Brabant. Elsewhere dozens of people were injured by flying glass and roof tiles. Six people travelling on a bus in Tholen in Zeeland were hurt after the bus was hit by a gust of wind and blown into a tree. In Utrecht, a building site crane blew onto a building on the university campus, injuring at least four. In Apeldoorn the roof blew off a Chinese restaurant. Thousands of commuters were stranded in Thursday’s rush hour as train services were cancelled and roads partially closed. In Amsterdam, part of the city’s central station was evacuated after sections of the glass roof blew off. Thousands of people were stranded and the Rai exhibition centre was opened up as emergency accommodation. In Utrecht, over 1,600 people took shelter in the Jaarbeurs exhibition centre. Some 400 people had to spend the night in Den Bosch after rail travel was halted. Dozens of rail passengers were also stranded in Leeuwarden. A train driver near Venlo was injured when his train ran into a tree which had been blown over the track. Road users also faced long delays, which lasted deep into the night in places. The A2 was closed near Abcoude because parts of the noise barriers threatened to blow off. Police commandeered lorries to park close to the barriers to act as a windbreak, TV news reported. There were massive jams on the A1 because of water on the road. KPN said the telephone network was having to cope with 50% more calls than normal as people tried to phone home. Plane travellers at Schiphol airport were having to cope with long delays. Only 30 planes an hour were being allowed to take off and land. The airport authorities expected several hundred international passengers to spend the night at the airport. In Rotterdam port, an estimated 200 to 400 cubic metres of oil leaked into the sea after a container ship rammed the MOT oil terminal. The high seas made it impossible to contain the oil. In Friesland, the water level rose to 3.40 metres above NAP - 10 centimetres above the alarm level - at the height of the storm. The KNMI weather bureau said it was the most severe storm to hit the Netherlands since October 2002. The worst storm in recent years was on January 25, 1990, when 17 people died as winds reached Force 11. The two other storms this winter - including the one last week - reached Force 9. Elsewhere in Europe, some 17 people died in the gale force winds. In the UK, the death toll reached 10, while in Germany six people died. Other deaths were recorded in the Czech Republic, Belgium and France For photos see: December 27 台灣震災 亞洲電信匯市齊跳腳台灣震災 亞洲電信匯市齊跳腳 楊明暐、黃菁菁、彭志平/綜合報導 台灣恆春外海的強烈地震重創國際海底通訊光纜，亞洲大部分地區的網路及電信服務都嚴重受阻，其中以金融交易，特別是匯市，所受影響最大。 受海底光纜毀損波及的範圍相當廣，中國大陸、日本、南韓、台灣、新加坡、泰國、馬來西亞，一直到印度甚至澳洲，都出現網路及通訊受阻或變慢的情況。東亞地區的銀行和企業紛紛傳出通訊出現問題，若干電話線路不通，民眾上網無法連線。
南韓最大固網及寬頻服務業者「韓國電信集團」（KT Corp.）今天發布聲明，指六條海底光纜因昨晚的強震受損，該公司二七％客戶受影響。而首爾外匯交易市場也受害嚴重，韓元交易大多因通訊出問題而停擺。 東京匯市也傳出若干受阻狀況，不過處理美元和日圓兌換泰半業務的電子交易平台（EBS）仍維持正常運作。 全球訊息公司路透集團表示，該公司在日本、南韓和台灣的用戶皆受到影響，不過該公司在日本的交易服務至廿七日下午已恢復運作。 印度的「後勤辦公室」（back offices）和客服外包業者也遇到麻煩，唯受損狀況要到印度與歐美資料通訊的尖峰時刻才有辦法評估。 菲國印度 網路速度慢 在國際電信方面，若干國家撥往美國的電話無法接通，而聯繫東南亞的電話線路情況最糟。廿七日上午，其他地區撥往東南亞的撥通率不及二％，到台灣時間十三時，恢復情況也還不及一○％。 東南亞最大的電信業者「新加坡電信公司」（SingTel）及其競爭對手「星和公司」（StarHub）稱，當地的網路速度變得很慢。新加坡電信已改採其他線路，至於該公司聯繫美國和歐洲的海底光纜則未受影響。 菲律賓長途電話公司稱，它的網路服務呈現斷斷續續的情況，國際電話也受阻，但國內線路及其Smart行動電話服務運作正常。 日本股票網上下單服務也受到影響，松井證券指出，中國方面的股市在電腦畫面上無法正常顯示，使得下單和取消訂單等作業困難。 大陸台商 客戶難聯繫 台灣南部大地震讓至少六條中國大陸連接海外的海底光纜中斷，MSN、YAHOO等網站都無法正常連結；九七％大陸網民表示連結海外網站不正常。 從廿七日凌晨起，北京、重慶、上海、武漢等城市的網民都發現無法正常進入海外網站。大陸南方及香港也有類似情況，網咖因此門可羅雀。 由於許多大陸台商都利用MSN或YAHOO的即時通訊與海外客戶聯繫，一大早許多台商就急得跳腳，甚至有些連電子郵件都無法正常收發，但SKYPE還可以與海外客戶聯繫。 Talking about 地震震的!
