Google 火星发布了[ZZ]

一直以来,生活在地球上的我们就对火星有着无限的遐想。从 19 世纪美国著名天文学家罗威尔 (Percival Lowell)绘制的火星表面图,到无数描述火星的书籍和电影,人类在千年里一直关注研究着我们这个太阳系里的近邻,对它充满着幻想。

经过和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)学者 Noel Gorelick、亚里桑那州立大学 (Arizona State University) 的 Michael Weiss-Malik 的共同合作努力,我们把 Google 地图技术和到目前为止一些最详尽的火星表面资料图整合了起来。

今天,为了纪念天文学家罗威尔(Percival Lowell)的诞辰,我们非常高兴的宣布 Google Mars (Google 火星) 正式发布了。你可以用三种不同的方式来浏览这个红色星球: 1)火星的高低立视图(elevation map),我们用不同颜色标注了上面的山峰 (peak) 和峡谷 (valley);2)一个实际视觉图 (visible-imagery map),显示你的肉眼能够真实看到的东西;3)一个红外视觉图 (infrared-imagery map),让你看到肉眼可能遗漏的地方。

纪念天文学家罗威尔(Percival Lowell)的诞辰(1855年3月13日~1916年11月16日)

反转剧

这两天明显感到天气转冷,呱呱的家里也已经下起了大雪,南京则是阴冷潮湿,让人没有了出行的欲望。没想到躲在被子里看反转剧也成了度过寒冬的一剂良药。在PPLive越来越让人失望的时候,PPStream横空出世,虽然广告仍是少不了的主题,但从视频质量和播放连续性上来说都超过PPLive,实为居家必备之良品(由此可见,新事物一定会战胜旧事物......)。韩国的反转剧最近似乎比较流行,称之为反转剧就在于其结果总是让人出乎意料,不合常理,其间又不乏各种搞怪搞笑的镜头,各种当红帅哥美女也一定让DDMM们爱不释手,20~30分钟一集的剧情一改韩剧拖沓的风貌,想看就看,容易切入。 反转剧,今天你看了吗?

from cpp to java

when i start to study java with a cpp background, i find it is very difficult to convert my mind. i always think how some features in cpp was implemented in java, this give me a little reject to java language. though java is born from c, i think they still have different applicable domains, so try to study both is good for me, and java is a pure OO language, i believe it will give me a better understanding on OOD.

Personalized Google Home

Using your google account, you can create a personalized homepage. You can customize several modules, including various news, gmail, bookmarks. This service is similar to what http://www.netvibes.com/ provides. The drawback is the inconvenience of bookmark module. It doesn't provide grouping while netvibes provide tags to implement this. Wishing google will improve this defect in the near future. Meanwhile, the Live plan of Microsoft is also going on. MS presents several several servicies to counterattack google's counterparts. Virtual Earth (see http://preview.local.live.com ) is a recent service. It provides map service just like google earth, provides a virtual tour better than google. Imaging driving a car in the map and seeing everything real, maybe you can do a virtual europe tour now. Seems interesting. MS also provides a customized home, you can log into www.live.com via your msn accounts. I haven't tried that yet.
