今日科技要聞：Hulu考慮出售
|
????* 據《紐約時報》(New York Times)報道，美國視頻網站Hulu在收到了一份收購要約后，現在已經在考慮將公司出售的可能性，但報道并未指出誰是買家。目前Hulu的董事會正在貨比三家，而且可能會與以前曾向Hulu表示過收購意向的其他公司和私募基金進行接洽。【《紐約時報》（New York Times）】 ????* 據彭博社（Bloomberg）報道，蘋果公司（Apple）的新一代iPhone將在今年9月發布，好為屆時一同發布的iOS 5移動操作系統增添聲勢。新iPhone支持iPad 2所使用的A5處理器，還搭載了一款800像素的攝相頭。【《財富》（Fortune）轉自彭博社（Bloomberg）】 ?? ?*?Lytro公司是位于美國加州山景城的一家初創公司，該公司研發出了一款可以先拍照再對焦的照相機，它最主要的功能是免除了用戶進行手動對焦甚至自動對焦的麻煩。用戶將照片上傳到電腦或手機之后，可以在照片上進行重新對焦。 你是不是覺得Lytro真是創意十足？有這種想法的人可不止你一個。到目前為止，Lytro公司已經從格雷洛克公司（Greylock Partners）和霍洛維茨基金（Andreessen Horowitz）等風投機構那里募集到了5，000萬美元。【科技博客All Things D （All Things D）；科技博客TechCrunch （TechCrunch）】 ????* 據科技博客TechCrunch報道，雅虎（Yahoo）公司正在悄悄地物色首席執行官的繼任者。其中可能包括福克斯數字媒體（Fox Digital）的首席執行官喬恩?米勒，據報道米勒已經與雅虎董事會進行過“初期的、非正式的”會談。【TechCrunch科技博客 （TechCrunch）】 ????* 諾基亞（Nokia）是否會在10月26日發布首支Windows系統的手機？包括《電腦雜志》（PC Magazine）的專欄作家莎沙?塞根在內的不少人都認為很有可能。因為今年的諾基亞世界大會（Nokia World）就定在10月26日召開，而且這段時間恰好夠最新的芒果版Windows Phone 7系統進行一次可能的升級。【《電腦雜志》（PC Magazine）】 ????譯者：樸成奎 |
????* Hulu is considering a possible sale after receiving a takeover offer from an unspecified bidder. As a result, the company's board is looking at its options and may reach out to other companies and private equity firms that have wanted to buy it in the past. (New York Times) ????* Bloomberg reports that a new iPhone, sporting the same A5 processor in the iPad 2 and an 8-megapixel camera, will launch in September to coincide with the release of Apple's iOS 5 mobile operating system. (Bloomberg via Fortune) ????* Meet Lytro, a Mountain View-based startup that's developed a camera that among other features, removes the need for users to manually focus or even use autofocus. Instead, users can adjust the focus on any thing in the image once it's loaded onto a computer or phone. If Lytro sounds innovative to you, you're not alone. So far, it's raised $50 million from the likes of Greylock Partners and Andreessen Horowitz. (All Things D and TechCrunch) ????* TechCrunch reports that Yahoo is quietly looking for CEO replacements. One of those candidates may include Fox Digital Chief Jon Miller, who has reportedly had "early and unofficial" discussions with the company board. (TechCrunch) ????* Will Nokia launch its first Windows-loaded phone on October 26? That's what some, including PC Magazine's Sascha Segan, are saying given the Nokia World conference is scheduled to kick off on that date and the time frame neatly matches up with a possible uploading of the latest Windows Phone 7 update, "Mango."
