今日科技：Facebook蓄意抹黑谷歌
?|
????* 首先奉上一條特大新聞。每日野獸網（The Daily Beast）發現Facebook雇傭了博雅公關公司（Burson-Marsteller）為其炮制谷歌（Google）的負面新聞。Facebook的一位發言人日前確認了每日野獸網的報道，并表示Facebook之所以這樣做，首先是由于公司認為谷歌的社交網絡活動的確有侵犯公眾隱私權之虞；其次谷歌使用了Facebook的數據，用于自己的社交網絡服務。科技網站BetaNews采訪了這個爭議故事的新聞來源——主張保護隱私權的博客人克里斯托弗?索菲安。您可以點擊此處查看采訪內容。（來源：每日野獸網、BetaNews） ????* 為何Facebook需要首席運營官謝樂爾?桑德伯格？請點擊此處。[來源：《彭博商業周刊》（Bloomberg Businessweek）] ????* 安卓系統（Android）的締造者安迪?魯賓將原Danger公司的工程師馬特?赫漢森和喬?布理特招至麾下，來打造內部的安卓硬件。這兩個人也是一度大熱的Sidekick智能手機的幕后功臣。 [來源：《財富》（Fortune）] ????* 點此了解最新的谷歌電視（Google TV）。（來源：GigaOm） ????* 美國聯邦通信委員會委員梅瑞迪斯?阿特維爾?貝克爾四個月前投票支持康卡斯特（Comcast）和NBC環球集團的并購?，F在她表示她將離開工作崗位，加入康卡斯特的華盛頓游說辦公室。[來源：《紐約時報》（New York Times）] ????* 正如預期的那樣，谷歌在日前的I/O開發者大會上推出了第一批安裝Chrome OS操作系統的三星（Samsung）和宏碁（Acer）筆記本電腦。癮科技（Engadget）博客對三星的5系列（Series 5）筆記本給出了溢美之辭，并發現它們具有很多優點，例如硬件打造得都很好，讓500美元以下的筆記本市場上的其他產品相形失色，而且三星的這幾款新筆記本還有長達8.5小時的電池續航時間。（來源：癮科技博客） ????* 高德納咨詢公司（Gartner Research）表示，雖然固態硬盤（SSD）這種高速存儲硬盤的價格很高，現在只有在最新款的蘋果Air筆記本電腦等電腦上才見得到它的身影，但由于價格的下降，2012年將成為固態硬盤井噴的一年。到2012年下半年，固態硬盤的價格將僅為1美元每GB。[來源：《PC世界》（PC World）] ????譯者：樸成奎 |
* This one's a whopper... The Daily Beast discovered that Facebook hired public relations firm Burson-Marsteller to pitch anti-Google stories to publications. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed as much to the Web site last night, citing concerns with Google's social networking activities that raise privacy concerns and issues with Google's use of Facebook data for its own social networking services. UPDATE: BetaNews has an interview with the controversial story's source, privacy advocate Christopher Soghoian. (The Daily Beast and BetaNews) * Why Facebook needs COO Sheryl Sandberg. (Bloomberg Businessweek) * Android creator Andy Rubin hired former Danger engineers and colleagues Matt Hershenson and Joe Britt, the folks behind the once-popular Sidekick smartphone, to work on in-house Android hardware. (Fortune) * A first look at the new Google TV. (GigaOm) * F.C.C. commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker, who four months ago voted in favor of the Comcast-NBC Universal merger, now says she's leaving her post to join Comcast's Washington lobbying office. (New York Times) * As predicted, Google unveiled the initial batch of Chrome OS notebook offerings from Samsung and Acer at the company's I/O conference yesterday. Engadget gave Samsung's Series 5 laptop a spin and found much to like, including well-built hardware that puts other notebooks in the sub-$500 market to shame and an 8.5-hour battery life. (Engadget) * Gartner Research says consumer solid-state drives, those swift yet still-pricey hard drives available in some computers like the latest crop of MacBook Airs, will have a break-out year in 2012 thanks to falling prices: $1 per gigabyte by the second half of the year.
