[遊戲] Alone In The Dark 5





我相當喜歡這類型的冒險遊戲, 特別是獨自一人在深夜時...

I quite like to play this kind of adventure game, especially when I am alone in the dark...


Central Park is hiding a secret. Built as a safe haven not noly for the people of New York, but for somehing else entirely, the vast parkland has been protected by generations of guardians while the most expensive city in the world reached skyward of this frings.

[音樂] 四人遊 - 方大同+薛凱琪







"四人遊" by 方大同+薛凱琪

方大同: Hey
薛凱琪: Hey
薛凱琪: Haven’t seen you for a long time….
方大同: Yeah it’s been a long time,
薛凱琪: Yeah it’s been a long while.
方大同: How are you doing?
薛凱琪: I’m doing fine. Yeah. You’re looking great you know
方大同: You look good too
薛凱琪: Thanks. So… you’re still with her?
方大同: Yeah, I’m still with her.
薛凱琪: That’s cool, that’s good, I like her, you know. I’m happy to see you.
方大同: Good to see you too.

妳的長髮為何不留 妳幹麼會學懂喝酒
妳那個男朋友 酒量也算一流 
聊個一整夜只怕不夠

你為甚麼跟他鬧酒 你莫非要借酒澆愁
你那個女朋友 到底還有沒有 
搞不好我們四個人去旅遊

原來一回頭
原來才顯出妳溫柔 我當時愛得不夠
原來只能夠做朋友 從前快樂沒變哀愁
原來在那關頭 全因捨得分手  
你說是否荒謬 我們比從前 看起來更熟

改天妳母親搞賀壽 我帶女友出來走走
你就知我理由 不外乎太羞
如果要一起去旅遊 去歐洲

那天(澎)一聲關門 就走 
很想問 妳有沒有眼淚 想流
你以為 你的魅力大得足夠 
少有 我們像在迎新懷舊

原來一回頭
原來才顯出你溫柔 我當時愛得不夠
原來只能夠做朋友 從前快樂沒變哀愁
原來在那關頭 全因捨得分手
還去不去歐洲 四個人不許酸溜溜

[評論] MacBook Air - Born free

藉這篇文章整理我對 MacBook Air (Air) 的一些想法...



- 設計理念 -

我很喜歡 Apple 網站上 Air 頁面的 slogan - Born Free.



捨棄一切多餘事物, 追求極簡純粹的自由

這樣的概念讓我想起 Palm Foleo
不同的是流年不利的 Palm 保不住 Foleo , 而 Air 則有著蘋果品牌的光環加持


[Palm Foleo]



- 無線化 -
"Without wires, you're free to go anywhere"

Air 的理念中我覺得最關鍵的一環 - 無線化
但也讓我對 Air 的定位感到混淆

* Subnote (次筆電)?
通常次筆電有完整的 I/O 介面應付商務需求
Air 的重量落在次筆電的級距裡, 但 Air 捨棄了大部分的 I/O 介面及採用特殊規格 (Micro-DVI)

* Mobile Terminal (行動終端)?
通常行動終端具備廣域無線網路規格達成 Always connected 的能力
Air 規格的精簡化符合行動終端的設計, 但 Air 缺乏 HSPA, CDMA2000, 或是 WiMAX 的無線網路規格

那麼, 蘋果究竟將 Air 定位在哪一端?
在 MacWorld keynote 上 Steve Jobs 將 Air 與 VAIO TZ 對比, 那麼就是欲定位為 Subnote
然而從設計理念 (Born free) 來看, 我看到的是一台行動終端


在缺乏最關鍵的廣域無線網路能力下, 或許是初代 Air 不得不傾向 Subnote 定位的原因



- 世界最薄的筆記型電腦 -


厚度是重點?
對於行動族群
重量才是

為了極端縮減機身厚度, 縮減電池容量與 I/O 介面
那麼
Air 的輕薄化究竟是為了打造一台 Thin client, 或是為了達成 "世界第一薄" 的稱號?



- Mac OS X -

Air 似乎是理所當然的搭載了 Leopard
這就是蘋果對於 Air 追求自由 (Free) 的答案?

為了運轉一個全功能的龐大作業系統
就必須搭配強大的運算能力
在現有的技術水準下
"運算能力" 與 "續航力" 像是天秤的兩端
越加碼運算能力, 越損失續航力

Air 傾斜往運算能力, 犧牲了續航力
等於是蘋果親手為 Air 的自由上了枷鎖
為了搭載 Leopard

Air 的目標族群是?
我原以為是以網路應用 (Web applications), 文書處理等輕應用為主的族群
Air 對於運算能力的執著, 是否是追尋著錯的方向?

如果將 Leopard 萃取出一個著重效率的精簡特製版本
降低運算能力的需求, 提升續航力
這樣的作業系統會不會更適合 Air?



- 定位 -

Steve Jobs 將 Air 與 VAIO TZ (日系 Subnote) 對比並不是一個明智的舉動

Air 與 日系 Subnote 一樣追求輕量薄型化
但 Air 著重運算效能甚於續航力, 為了極致的薄型化可以做出更大的妥協
而日系 Subnote 堅持 "輕量" "長續航力" "堅固" 俱在

Air 在捨棄了這一切後卻在行動族群重視的重量與續航力落後日系 Subnote
可以說
Air 的理念 (Born free) 在日系 Subnote 上實踐的更為徹底

我想
Air 與同樣執著於運算效能的 Thinkpad X 相較才能顯出其獨到處



- 你會如何改造 MacBook Air? -

網路的時代, 行動終端有兩個重要發展方向:


I. 運算與儲存分離: 軟硬體精簡化, 網路應用 (Web applications) 為主流, 資料存放於外部伺服器
II. Always connected: 永遠保持網路連線


Air 可以
* 硬體 - 搭載完整無線網路規格 - 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, WUSB, 廣域無線廣路 (HSPA or WiMAX)
換上超低電壓版 CPU, 增加電池容量延長續航力 (以 10 小時為目標)
將 SSD 列為標準配備 (省電/耐震/高效能/靜音)
* 軟體 - 搭載 Leopard 精簡特製版



試著將 Air 打造成一個具有 Always online 能力的行動終端 (Mobile terminal)
真正擁有與生俱來的自由 (Born free)

[音樂] Is This Love - Whitesnake

在凌晨二點清醒著...

Awake at 2 am...



"Is This Love" by Whitesnake

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, baby
My backs against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright,
Cos I don't think I can take anymore

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...

I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...

[電影] The Dark Knight - Why So Serious?





黑暗騎士, 08年我最期待的電影之一. 希斯萊傑扮演的小丑是否能再造新經典?

值得注意的是, 黑暗騎士是美國好萊塢第一部使用 IMAX 規格拍攝的商業電影, 有著傳統 35mm 規格電影所遠不及的畫質. 可惜的是目前 IMAX 戲院獨家放映的7分鐘預告片遲未在網路公開...

今年7月, 黑暗騎士將於 IMAX 戲院上映...


The Dark Knight, one of my most expected movies in 2008. Will Heath Ledger be a new classic of the Joker?

The Dark Knight is the first Hollywood commercial movie to use IMAX cameras to film. That means an excellent image quality far beyond traditional 35mm film can be achieved. It's pity that the 7-minute dark knight trailer that was played exclusively in IMAX theaters hasn't been released online yet...

The Dark Knight will hit IMAX theaters this July...
