2.我登入了orkut,尋找相關有興趣的社群來加入,關於我喜歡的金屬樂團的社群,巴西的社群超多的,美國是少數,台灣根本沒有,目前還蠻適合來建立個台灣的社群的,不過能存活多久?試試看才知道。

One day, while he was shaving with a straight razor that was so worn it could no longer be sharpened, the idea came to him. What if the blade could be made of a thin metal strip? Rather than spending time maintaining the blades, men could simply discard them when they became dull. A few years of metallurgy experimentation later, the disposable-blade safety razor was born. But it didn't take off immediately. In its first year, 1903, Gillette sold a total of 51 razors and 168 blades. Over the next two decades, he tried every marketing gimmick he could think of. He put his own face on the package, making him both legendary and, some people believed, fictional. He sold millions of razors to the Army at a steep discount, hoping the habits soldiers developed at war would carry over to peacetime. He sold razors in bulk to banks so they could give them away with new deposits ("shave and save" campaigns). Razors were bundled with everything from Wrigley's gum to packets of coffee, tea, spices, and marshmallows. The freebies helped to sell those products, but the tactic helped Gillette even more. By giving away the razors, which were useless by themselves, he was creating demand for disposable blades. A few billion blades later, this business model is now the foundation of entire industries: Give away the cell phone, sell the monthly plan; make the videogame console cheap and sell expensive games; install fancy coffeemakers in offices at no charge so you can sell managers expensive coffee sachets.

At the age of 40, King Gillette was a frustrated inventor, a bitter anticapitalist, and a salesman of cork-lined bottle caps. It was 1895, and despite ideas, energy, and wealthy parents, he had little to show for his work. He blamed the evils of market competition. Indeed, the previous year he had published a book, The Human Drift, which argued that all industry should be taken over by a single corporation owned by the public and that millions of Americans should live in a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls. His boss at the bottle cap company, meanwhile, had just one piece of advice: Invent something people use and throw away.
網路書籤是個對我來說蠻新鮮的東西,要是老師不說我還真的一直不會注意到,我是選擇黑米書籤,功能似乎蠻多的,目前只有新增兩個網址,之後再增加。

很少嘗試寫出內心閱讀過的英文理解的意思,沒想到想要寫的通順明確不是很容易,我這次花了四個小時整理,多查了12個生字,也才寫出這些,希望之後能夠快些了
Open Access from the Point of View of the Coalition for Action
為計畫'版權的教育和研究' (Aktionsbundnis ‘Urheberrecht fur Bildung und Wissenschaft’,新華社)聯盟的行動形成關於目前圍繞著改善德國版權法的辯論。它的目標是代表教育、科學和學問的利益對於議員散佈自由知識和資訊的處置。新華社最初是以2004年的哥廷根宣言簽署了6學術團體, 328名學術團體和5500個個人(截至2007年4月) 。其主要消息如下: '在一個數位和網路訊息的社會,為了教育和科學目的,全球的資訊必須保證在何時何地都可以近用! '這無疑是符合開放近用的目標。
The ABU can only indirectly promote the implementation of the principle of Open Access in education and science. Generally, Open Access is not impaired by copyright. Copyright grants authors publishing rights. An Open Access publication, however, means that the author’s exploitation rights are no longer exclusive. However, it is the authors’ decision whether to also make their work available for commercial exploitation through contractual agreements.
ABU只能在原則下間接地促進開放近用在教育和科學上的落實。一般來說,開放近用不會受版權的損害。版權授予作者出版的權利。一份開放近用的出版物,無論如何,這意味著作者宣傳權利不再是專有性的。然而,是否讓他們的工作透過契約上的協定可利用商業宣傳,是作者的決定。
對很多作者來說會變的方便些
時間延遲並不是開放近用的精神,但是此項管制可以激勵許多作者讓他們的工作在一段這類型禁用的期間之後免費被使用。
