Cheryl Hung - +Xiaoyu Tang:
Languages are not only tools, but also carriers of cultures and beliefs.
Anyway, only Traditional Chinese can carry the beauty and history of the beautiful, ancient, meaningful, special language and culture!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you know a friend who uses, for instance, Swiss German, why don't you use Swiss German to greet him or her instead of High German? (Given that you are just using the online translators anyway... :-P)
Well, no matter what, Happy Lunar New Year!!!

+WIRED goes behind the wheel of our self-driving car in a new article:
The Prius begins to seem like the Platonic ideal of a driver, against which all others fall short. It can think faster than any mortal driver. It can attend to more information, react more quickly to emergencies, and keep track of more complicated routes. It never panics. It never gets angry. It never even blinks. In short, it is better than human in just about every way.

Robotic vehicles, from Google to Mercedes, have arrived. So what form and purpose will these cars have when we finally let go of the wheel?

ioan dumitru - Este indiscutabil faptul ca harddriveurile SSD cu spaţiu de stocare de PESTE 500 (cinci sute) GIGABITI, SUNT IMPERIOS NECESARE PE NOILE SMARTPHONEURI SI TABLETE. Am să va explic din ce motiv. Din simplul motiv ca SPAŢIUL DE LUCRU OBLIGATORIU-NECESAR ESTE UNEORI (DE CELE MAI MULTE ORI) DE ZECI DE ORI MAI MARE DECÂT SPAŢIUL OCUPAT DE O BAZA DE DATE CU CARE SE LUCREAZĂ/OPEREAZĂ, in special in acele activităţi in care documentaţia se modifica mult sau chiar radical sau chiar complet, prin adaos, cu fiecare modificare a unui fişier/document oarecare. Este cazul documentelor de tip juridic, unde dosare complete presupun doar schimbarea ordonării unor documente in anexe/prezentare, dar fiindcă ORICE dosar nou/modificat trebuie să rămână înregistrat in forma in care este înaintat instantei, trebuie înregistrate ca atare FOARTE MULTE DOSARE, chiar daca ele conţin acelaşi set de acte de baza din baza de date a unui caz/client, CHIAR DACA MULTE DOCUMENTE DIN CONŢINUTUL DOSARULUI SE REGĂSESC CU CERTITUDINE IN BAZA DE DATE PRINCIPALA. Cu alte cuvinte, in exemplul acesta, un cabinet de avocatura POATE NECESITA UN SPAŢIU DE LUCRU CHIAR DE ZECI SI SUTE DE ORI MAI MARE DECÂT BAZA DE DATE PRINCIPALĂ DE LUCRU per fiecare caz/client. De aceea, pentru posibilitatea de lucru cu documente (juridice, contabile, ştiinţifice, muzicale, culturale, etc), este absolut INDISPENSABIL un harddiskSSD de minimum cinci sute gigabiti PE ORICARE SMARTPHONE, TABLETA, ETC. Altminteri eficienta si precizia de lucru SE DEPRECIAZĂ PÂNĂ LA FALIMENT !!! De asemenea, este necesar harddiskSSD pentru smartphoneuri, SI NU card-"drive", fiindcă viteza de lucru a smartphoneului cu card este infima, de exemplu eu am fost obligat să aştept CINCISPREZECE MINUTE ca să mi se deschidă un fişier care pe calculator mi se deschide in maximum câteva secunde, ma refer la un act juridic, ca eu nu mai umblu demult cu hârtii la mine, dar fiind un act important, era scanat la rezoluţie de pixeli foarte mare, iar viteza de lucru a smartphoneului era infima fata de viteza de lucru daca smartphoneul ar fi avut harddriveSSD in loc de banalul card de 16/32 gigabiti.

We recently participated in an experiment in entrepreneurship crisscrossing India called Jagriti Yatra. This 15-day train journey takes more than 400 young Indians around the country to introduce them to the challenges the country's towns and villages are facing, and inspire them to be social and economic entrepreneurship leaders in their own communities. A few Googlers hopped on board this year as mentors, and one of them shares his story in the blog post below. For more information on the Yatra, visit www.jagritiyatra.com.
