Search gets personal

Search gets personal

With the launch of Personalized Search, you can use that search history
you’ve been building to get better results. You probably won’t notice
much difference at first, but as your search history grows, your
personalized results will gradually improve.

This whole concept
of personalization has been a big part our lives since some of the team
was in grad school at Stanford. We shared an office, which happened to
be the same one Sergey had used before, and we were pretty familiar
with the research he and Larry had done. Related to their work, we
thought building a scalable system for personalizing search results
presented an interesting challenge. We’ve still got a long way to go,
but we’re excited to release this first step. So check out this latest
addition to Google Labs and tell us what you think.



Google Video. Now with … video!

Google Video. Now with … video!

Posted by Matthew Vosburgh, Google Video Software Engineer

A couple of months ago we launched a video uploader so you could add your own videos to Google Video. Well, now we’re ready to start displaying all that stuff.

I’ve been amazed by your cool videos. I had never seen a robot dog harassing an iguana before, or a monkey doing karate, and I had no idea you were such good dancers. There’s more than home video, too - like this UNICEF story featuringDavid Beckham.

The clips play right in the page using the brand new Google Video Viewer, which was created by our engineer Aaron Lee using code from the open sourceVideolan project. It works great in both Firefox and IE, and we’ve designed it not to fight with any other video plugins you might have. We’re releasing the Windows version first, with Mac coming soon.

A feature we’re especially pleased with is search within a video, which means you will get a result pointing to the precise spot in the video that matches your query. Try looking for sergey brin and you’ll see what I mean. There are even more people getting creative with video here. So have fun watching, or shoot your own videos - and keep sending them in!

That is Really Good! 



從 Safari RSS 拷貝、貼上

從 Safari RSS 拷貝、貼上


“從 Safari RSS 拷貝、貼上” 有什麼好提的?看下去你就知道這個拷貝/貼上到底是什麼?前幾日剛提過似曾相識的瀏覽器,現在連 Jens Alfke(Safari RSS 團隊的開發人員之一)自己都看不下去了,他一直都在注意 IEBlog(微軟 IE 網誌),對於 IE 7,Jens 甚至寫到微軟對於這個將來的瀏覽器僅是做了一個拷貝→貼上的動作罷了(”MS has just done a copy-and-paste of what we did.”):

As others have already noted, the in-browser RSS/Atom support Microsoft has announced with great fanfare for the increasingly-vaporous Longhorn is pretty much identical to the Safari RSS (aka Syndication.framework) I work on, which Apple shipped this spring in Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”. Same “RSS” button in the address bar, same feeds-as-bookmarks, same cross-app data store.


除了上述引文提到的相似度外,甚至瀏覽器的版面配置也是十分相像,包含左文章右選項的版面、排列選項、搜尋列…不勝枚舉;看看下兩張對照圖:


Safari RSS


IE 7 RSS(圖片來源 Bink.nu
Jens 說,他認為相似的部份不僅僅是那顆網址列上藍色的 RSS 方鈕,而是瀏覽器的整個使用者介面都十分雷同,他給 MS 死忠者的建議是「買台 Mac,現在就能擁有這些功能,而不是 18+ 個月之後…」。

大學生創執相軟件賺首桶金 一年下載逾10萬次 公司進駐科學園

大學生創執相軟件賺首桶金 一年下載逾10萬次 公司進駐科學園

【明報專訊】飲宴、外遊拍下一二百張相片實屬等閒事,但全數靠電腦軟件修正,往往花上大量時間。兩名中文大學畢業生年前自創數碼相片自動修正軟件——「快理相」,讓普羅大眾、甚至對電腦一竅不通的電腦盲,只需按一個鍵便「全自動執相」,如補光、加強色彩等,軟件更可應用於拍照手機「即拍即修改」。軟件推出後廣受歡迎,一年多下載數目逾10萬人次,有政府機構及手機供應商已購買版權,令年僅25歲的何應輝及朱凱頌賺取「第一桶金」,揭開創業的序幕。

25歲的何應輝及朱凱頌3年前畢業於中大訊息工程學系。畢業後何應輝率先參加「王統元創新科技與創業獎勵計劃」,以1萬元月薪設計及改良軟件。及後,何應輝再伙同朱凱頌參加由大學、政府及業界合辦的資訊科技創業培訓計劃,成功創立自己的科技公司——昇科有限公司,踏上創業之途,公司更於本年成功進駐香港科學園。何應輝笑說﹕「這些計劃為我們兩個初出茅蘆又缺乏人際網絡的小子提供技術及商業上的意見,才得以成功創業。」

可用於手機相片 簡單快捷

這套相片自動修正軟件除可應用在家庭電腦外,亦可應用在手機及錄像機上,成為全球首個手機相片自動修正的軟件,手機拍下來的照片,只需按一個鍵便即時自動修正。何應輝表示,「一般人修正相片都會使用『photoshop』,但使用需花上一定時間,又不是人人懂得使用,所以我們決定開發軟件自動修正相片,使一般的使用者也可以有專業級的編輯效果。」他們的設計更於去年奪得「第六屆資訊科技卓越成就獎」金獎。

規劃署手機供應商買下版權

本港規劃署、手提電話供應商新力愛立信(香港區總代理)及新加坡一間公司已購買軟件的版權,使何應輝及朱凱頌賺取約50萬元。他們笑說﹕「我們會朝100萬元的目標進發,希望今年年底可以達到目標。」軟件至今的下載數目已逾10萬人次,軟件的零售版將於下月出售,為100多港元,而網上售價則為30美元(約200港元)。

2005 年 100 個最佳產品

2005年06月09日 Posted in: Mac

 

2005 年 100 個最佳產品
(PC World)

年度最佳作業系統:Tiger
PC World 於今日在其刊出的 2005 年 100 個最佳產品(100 Best Products of 2005)中將 Mac OS X Tiger 視為最佳作業系統(”Best Operating System”)。其中提到的相關內容如下:

Tiger’s big new addition–to what was already a well-engineered Mac operating system–is Spotlight, a speedy, well-integrated tool for searching your hard drive. And it’s the best-looking OS around. In other words, Mac fans are already enjoying the cool features that Windows won’t deliver until late 2006.

如果你有興趣,還可以看看 PC World 的評論。此外,年度最佳產品為 Mozilla Firefox、照片服務網站(Photography Site)選的是 Flickr、網頁信箱(Web Mail)選的是 Gmail…還有很多其他類別,有興趣的朋友可以前往看看~

想看看整體一百名的排名嗎?All Products Listed by Ranking;數數看 Apple 有幾項入榜?而 Microsoft 呢?答案在這裡;不是刻意比較,是事實就是如此…呵呵 :D
