Robin的一张照片上tag了一个微软鼠标，对其描述是“微软鼠标是微软为数不多值得一用的产品”。看得我很气愤——因为SB微软鼠标根本就不能用！我从company store买过仨，两个无线的给自己，一个有线的Habu给哥们，已经全都坏了。我自己的第二个甚至还没用到2个月。想当年我的Logitech MX 500在我疯狂CS的时期都毫无故障服役，整整陪伴了我5年。 于是乎，买了个Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks。实在是惊艳——nano receiver, ultra-slim, frictionless scrolling，所有这些创新都是那么自然、体贴和雅致。而微软觉得用户需要的创新的就是在一个键盘上塞上10多个“多媒体功能键”，分别负责一键开启浏览器、另一键开启Messenger之类的。记得联想台式机当年也是一键到客服、另一键到主页等等。唉，微软是跳过松下，直接奔联想去了。 刘翔放弃比赛，因伤，这理所当然。但是他至少应该面对镜头告诉大家发生了什么。他没有。从赛前的毫无征兆到赛场上若无其事地离场，他始终没有勇气面对全国人民。他让自己的老师在新闻发布会上面对镜头泣不成声，为他解释、为他道歉。“彪悍的人生不需要解释”，而懦弱者甚至不敢自己抬起头陈述一句事实。 “全国人民给他太大压力”，这是真的。如果全国人民在电视、户外媒体、网络上每天看到上百次刘翔，怎么可能对他没有压力？而且他也当然享受了带来压力的名与利。更重要的是，这些很大程度上都是他自己的选择。拿走了名利，却不想要压力，天下哪有这样的好事？ 想起美国的埃蒙斯，在最后一枪让人瞠目结舌地痛失冠军之后，还能坦然豁达地面对镜头，笑着告诉大家发生了什么，并且非常有风度地说“我的家庭已经拿了3块奖牌，我很满足了”。更有伟大的母亲丘索维金娜…… 当奥运会挑战人类极致，勇气与懦弱立见。 6/27 was BillG’s last day as a Microsoft FTE (full-time employee). Working in RedW-D, I went to the Town Hall hosted in RedW Cafe via WebCast. This time, Bill was more emotional than last time. In the last few minutes, tears were swelling in this eyes. Looking back, here is a great story from Joel Spolsky about his Spec review with BillG, in those glory days. Yeah, those early days of Microsoft, those early days of BillG… Moving ahead, BillG will devote himself to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Many people might think it’s just giving money away, which is probably the easiest thing in the world. This is not true, for "the barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much complexity." As stated in the Guiding Principles – "delivering results with the resources we have been given is of the utmost importance". To deliver results with finite resources means to find a high-priority problem, raise a quest, break complexity down to actionable items, so that people know how to help. "Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to reduce inequities and improve lives around the world" – I believe Bill will change the world, again. 上传了五一去杭州、西塘、上海旅游的部分照片：http://picasaweb.google.com/tian.ab。杭州大部分照片还在整理中，敬请期待:-) |
