Clouds after rains

Installed a new theme for this Tumblog, called “Royal Cameleon” by goroboto. Pretty, and nice.

BTW, I made a few changes to enlarge photos: setting max-width: 80% and max-height: 600px. So it should look a little different from the original template.

Bug reporter of Apple. It seems it has been traveled for a long time… with the appearance of maybe AQUA from Mac OS X 10.1 or 10.2. Its layout is arranged with a lot of nested tables, a proof of ancient created webpage.

Ah, it still looks cute, isn’t it? These AQUAs had already been the past, though.

Three design changes to Blogger homepage. Two major changes in 2004 and late 2010; one minor revision in mid 2008. I like the old ones better: 2004 > 2008 > 2010. The latest design looks kind of geeky, and it looks harder and colder. It’s less touching than the 2004 classic - yes I think that was a classic.

And here’s what Google promises to give us in the future:

Just don’t like them. It looks too cold, and too technology oriented. I wouldn’t know the second picture is not Google Docs but the new post editor for Blogger, if I did not see them on Blogger Buzz site. It reminds me of Microsoft Word or something else… more like I’m working on a paper, not a personal blog.

The same affection may explain why I want its name “Blogger” to be kept. There are some rumors saying that Google is going to rename Blogger as something like “Google Blogs.” I will say no to the new name if Google really do so in the future. “Google Blogs” just sounds lame, don’t you think?

Hans Tzou: 中華電信是公卿

蘋果日報的社論偶爾會有「標題殺人」之舉，究竟不像老報紙那樣，在刊出前會由主筆或編輯看看政治氣候、有沒有擋人財路或得罪人等等，總以四平八穩、頂多擦破一點油皮就好為原則；不過蘋果的作法也會有「拳拳到肉」的佳作，例如這篇「中華電信誤國誤民」，題目下得夠重、評論也講到重點，值得鼓掌。

中華電信號稱民營，但董監事全由官派，骨子裡根本是國營企業，只管每股獲利增加，不管改進設備，不理會數位匯流的政府政策，於是網路建設速度落後，費率卻居高不下。

一家「民營」公司能當得起「誤國誤民」的四字考語，也算是夠資格含笑九泉了。
