不用開口說話的手機

一種消費商品叫做「Roadrunner」耳機,它的麥克風設置在喉頭的旁邊。
主持人描述Audeo是一種「不必開口說話的手機」,它靠穿戴在脖子上的感應器來偵測神經訊號,並轉成聲音送出去。經過訓練的人「可以在不發出聲音的情況下,送出神經訊號給他們的聲帶。」,來自New Scientist Tech的報導。裡面另外提到「這些訊號被領子上的感應器接收後會以無線方式傳送到電腦上,再轉換成電腦語音。」。而Adueo採用的技術也可以用來控制輪椅。

Ambient的投資人之一Michael Callahan提出令人安慰的觀點:「該系統要動作,需要比思考再上一層的條件」,也就是說系統只有在想到特定字彙時才會動作——如此一來它就不會將你腦袋裡的念頭毫不保留地說出來。

Believe it. Achieve it.

I watched it on 14 Mar in Pearl TV midnight. It is my first time to know more Bill and Buffett. It is an amazining and wonderful sharing. Buffett said "don't do the job which you don't like, don't cooperate who you don't like in long term. .... Most important : follow to your passion.
Um, I get it. Life is ONE TIME. FOLLOW YOUR PASSION. BELIEVE IT - ACHIEVE IT.

*** Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are the two richest men in America and very close friends. Though a generation apart in age, and founders of two very different businesses, each has a deep admiration for the other. They share a sense of responsibility to use their wealth to improve the world. In September 2005, the two men spent the day at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with students and faculty from the College of Business Administration. ***

MacBook Air

I have ever heard it from internet. But I have seen it in HK recently. It is very cool and fashionable.
The Apple boss, Steve Jobs, has unveiled what he's touting as the world's thinnest notebook computer. The PC is -- get this -- 2.5cm thick. It also turns on the moment is opened (一掀蓋就開機). Also new - a gadget to wirelessly back up your Apple computer's downloadable high-definition movie rentals from the iTunes store. COOL~
