????* 近日，比爾?蓋茨接受了《每日郵報》的采訪，透露了一些鮮為人知的事。采訪中，蓋茨表示，只會將巨額財富中“很小的一部分”留給三個子女；另外，他還分析了為何IT業下一件大事是語音識別技術。【《每日郵報》(The Daily Mail)】 ????* 史蒂夫?喬布斯如何從早年在皮克斯動畫工作室（Pixar）的職業經歷中汲取靈感，最終開發了蘋果（Apple）的iCloud服務。【美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)】 ????* Facebook的增長開始放緩了嗎？該網站最新的用戶數據顯示了這一趨勢。過去一年中，Facebook平均每月增加2,000萬個新用戶。但是，今年四、五兩月，該社交網絡只分別增加了1,390萬和1,180萬個用戶。事實上，美國、加拿大和英國等國家的Facebook用戶已經開始流失，僅美國本土就有近600萬活躍用戶實際上已經退出。【科技資訊網站BetaBeat（BetaBeat）】 ????* 為何蘋果在其iOS5移動操作系統中集成的是Twitter而非Facebook？資訊網站Betanews的喬?威利克斯猜測說，這很大程度上與這兩家公司截然不同的思維方式有關。“蘋果希望將用戶的內容推入到設備中，而Facebook希望將內容拖到云中。”威利克斯如此寫道。【資訊網站Betanews（Betanews）】 ????* 據報道，微軟公司（Microsoft）有些開發人員對于Windows 8的開發工作深感恐懼。科技資訊網站Ars Technica分析稱，軟件開發人員欲轉向主要基于HTML5和JavaScript的操作系統必須拋棄過去20年間積累的Windows開發知識和技能。【科技資訊網站Ars Technica（Ars Technica）】 ????* Flipboard創始人兼首席執行官邁克?麥克庫伊分享他與其之前創建的初創公司、致力于語音識別的TellMe如何在互聯網泡沫破滅之后生存下來的故事。【科技博客TechCrunch（TechCrunch）】 ????譯者：大海 |
????* Bill Gates gave a rare and revealing interview to The Daily Mail chatting about how the three Gates kids will only receive a "miniscule portion" of dad's wealth and why the next big thing in tech is speech and voice recognition. (The Daily Mail) ????* How Steve Jobs's Pixar experience helped lead to Apple's iCloud service. (CNN) ????* Is Facebook growth slowing down? That's what some of the newest user numbers indicate. Over the last year or so, Facebook added an average of 20 million new users a month, but last April and May, the social network only gained 13.9 million and 11.8 million users respectively. And in fact, countries like the U.S, Canada and the UK actually lost users, with almost six million stateside active users actually dropping out. (BetaBeat) ????* Why did Apple integrate Twitter into its iOS5 mobile operating system and not Facebook? Joe Wilcox over at Betanews speculates it largely has to do with the two companies' differing ideologies. "Apple wants to push users' content to the device, whereas Facebook wants to pull content to the cloud," he writes. (Betanews) ????* Microsoft reportedly has developers horrified about coding for Windows 8. By switching to an OS driven largely by HTML5 and JavaScript, Ars Technica argues software coders have to discard two decades worth of Windows developing knowledge and expertise. (Ars Technica) ????* Flipboard founder and CEO Mike McCue on how he and his last startup, the voice recognition-focused TellMe, survived the dotcom bust. (TechCrunch) |
