????·游戲機現在在游戲市場上只占40%的份額，那我們真正的優勢是什么？我們有一個新的硬件平臺，而且我們每隔90天就會推出新的軟件。現在我們增長最快的平臺是iPad，而就在18個月前，它還根本不存在。”

????"Consoles today are 40% of the game industry, so what do we really have? We have a new hardware platform, and we're putting out software every 90 days. Our fastest growing platform is the iPad right now, and that didn't exist 18 months ago."

????·公寓對租公司Airbnb不久前剛剛進行了一輪融資，從安德里森?霍洛維茨基金（Andreessen Horowitz）和DST Global等投資者那里募得1.13億美元。這輪融資剛剛過去了幾天，Airbnb就傳出噩耗。一個租客把房東的房子洗劫一空，還加以大肆破壞。房東說：“他們在上了鎖的壁櫥門上搗了一個大洞，找到了我藏在里面的護照、現金、信用卡和我奶奶的首飾。他們還拿走了我的相機、iPod和一臺舊筆記本，還有一個外接的備份硬盤，里面都是我的照片和日記……幾乎就是我的整個人生。他們還找到了我的出生證明和社保卡，我相信他們肯定影印了這兩份證件——用的就是我好心好意留下來方便租客使用的打印機和復印機。”事件發生后，Airbnb公司已經表態，愿意對這位房東進行經濟賠償，并且幫她找到新的住處。（科技博客TechCrunch）

????* Just a few days after apartment-swapping startup Airbnb snatched up $113 million from investors like Andreessen Horowitz and DST Global comes news of an Airbnb horror story in which a host's home was ransacked and trashed by a renter. "They smashed a hole through a locked closet door, and found the passport, cash, credit card and grandmother's jewelry I had hidden inside," the host said. "They took my camera, my iPod, an old laptop, and my external backup drive filled with photos, journals… my entire life. They found my birth certificate and social security card, which I believe they photocopied – using the printer/copier I kindly left out for my guests' use." The startup has since offered to financially compensate the host and help her find new housing. (TechCrunch)
