If your phone’s battery keeps dying on you because you spend all your time playing the wildly popular mobile game 愤怒的小鸟 (or if you’re too cheap to buy Angry Birds), you should be pretty excited about this latest development.
You can now play Angry Birds online here. Here’s what you need:
As the URL (chrome.angrybirds.com) might hint, 愤怒的小鸟 works best in Chrome. I’ve tried it on several browsers and here’s what I’ve found:
Microsoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (良好, not just the product, the whole company) for $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.
但, when you think about it, it makes some sense. Skype has 663 million user accounts (当然, not all of them are active) and about 8 million paying users – obviously not very many, but it’s still some.
If you’ve bought an electronic device in the last year, you’ll notice that Microsoft is hawking its search engine Bing more than I hawk my products. (On a totally unrelated note, 下载 山羊, my free and open-source flashcard program.)
That’s all well and good, since you’re allowed to advertise, but Microsoft really goes to the extreme:
I’m sure this happens to a lot of people: you have an important file on your flash drive and you need to hand it in, print it out, or take it somewhere else. Only problem? You lose your flash drive. It’s happened to me far too many times.
So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.
I found Dropbox的, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
我经常被问的问题 “如果你能成为世界之王的一天, 你会怎么办?” 首先, 我会想办法让自己永久地王, 但是这不是问题的关键. 这是我稍微激进的建议，这将是第二件事情我会怎么做，如果我是国王一天.
我是一个俱乐部，取出再利用我们学校在上午的一部分. 让我来告诉你, 我们收集了大量的纸: 如果我收集的也许是纸 15 还没有过他们的论文中收集几天的房间, 我可以填满整个垃圾桶. 不小的垃圾桶，你必须在你的房子, 我的意思是校工使用那些大. 这是一个很大.
If you’ve been watching the news lately, you’ll have noticed that the PlayStation Network, which provides online gameplay and digital game shopping for owners of PlayStation 3 and PSP devices, has been down since last Wednesday. Their on-demand streaming service, Qriocity, is also down. There’s been a huge buzz about it for the last week, but it’s hard to cut through the buzz to get the actual information. I’ve done a little digging, so here are some of the basics.
If you want a break from the tech talk…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you’ve probably heard of (and had the misfortune of listening to) Rebecca Black’s Friday. 你知道吗, that song with the 13-year-olds driving cars and the nasally teenager wondering where to sit? That one.
After a shocking experience (more about that later), I’ve had to start questioning why I (and pretty much everyone I know) hate the song. Breaking it down:
