3/1 乌克兰局势发展预测
经过大约一周的进攻,俄国似乎在乌克兰遇到了困难,仍没有拿下大城市。下面如何发展?我的预见:
1. 战争升级,增兵,更多导弹,空中打击。
2. 乌克兰获得更多支持,包括军援,经济,等等。
3. 普京放弃全方位占领乌克兰的几乎,缩小目标到东乌克兰。
4. 俄乌谈判,东乌克兰自治。战争结束。
5. 乌克兰加入北约。

CNN.com - Google joins instant message party - Aug 24, 2005
Now, if you think what Google will be doing, ask yourself what else you are doing everyday with your computer - web, email, IM, and yes, desktop applications like Word and Powerpoint! Do I hear web based office applications?

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
In April, RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser—seeing his online music store struggling to compete with Apple's iTunes because it's not compatible with the iPod—e-mails Steve Jobs suggesting that he open the iPod to other purveyors of digital music. The e-mail is immediately leaked to the New York Times, which interviews a surprised Glaser. "Steve is showing a high level of fear," he says.If you can't beat 'em, and you can't join 'em, encourage people to whine about 'em.Still peeved that Apple won't allow the iPod to play downloads from his online music store, Glaser launches an online petition urging Apple to open up. He quickly pulls the petition offline when he discovers that most of the signers have left strident pro-Apple comments.
If you can't beat 'em, and you can't join 'em, and you can't get people to whine about 'em...put out some half-baked software that forever alienates potential customers?Not backing down, Glaser offers a software hack that allows iPods to play songs purchased from Real. Apple blasts its rival for exhibiting "the ethics of a hacker" and warns iPod users that future updates to its software will render the Real songs unplayable. But it turns out that if Real is acting like a hacker, it's not a particularly talented one: Several Real customers report that the software fills their screens with ads and crashes their computers. In November an Apple software update blocks the hack.

Vint Cerf on Internet Challenges
What's really interesting is the question of "What is the science of computer science?". Fact is, in many places, CS programs have been a quick job training - Java/VB programming, a bit data structure and SQL, very superficial knowledge of OS, and you are done (oh, don't forget claiming you can do website development after you know HTML and Frontpage!).
These kinds of quick training apparently do not provide sufficient background for students to understand those challenges, let alone tackle one of them. But, what cares?
