林書豪 Jeremy Lin 網路爆紅:Twitter & AllThingsD


最近字典又多了兩個字:“Linsanity”和“Tebowing”。
兩人都完成了Mission Impossible。
老人年輕時因為喜歡美國職業運動,每天早上得買“民生報”或上圖書館看,因為只有民生報有美國職業運動新聞。老人迷上MLB和MBA。MLB東看紐約洋基隊,西看水手隊。有線電台出現後,星期日半夜和一大早便很忙,得起來看ESPN電視轉撥,也開始迷上NFL。王建民出現打亂老人看電視的習慣,因為NFL不見了,其他MLB球隊也不見。所以當大家都在看王建民時,近十年老人突然上班回來少看電視了,因為連上班都到處看得到他和洋基。
但是現在不同了,因為 Jeremy Lin 打動了老人的年輕的心,從回過去年輕的熱誠。
AllThingsD的Peter Kafka:“Who Put Sports In My Twitter Again? The Jeremy Lin Explainer”, 因為23歲的 Jeremy Lin 代表年輕的一代,有Twitter和Facebook,不喜歡運動的科技宅男,不看到 Jeremy Lin 也難矣!
連明星後衛Steve Nash都在Twitter上讚揚Jeremy Lin,“If you love sports you have to love what Jeremy Lin is doing. Getting an opportunity and exploding!!
湖人前鋒瘋狂的前鋒Metta World Peace在CBS Sports接受訪問提到  Jeremy Lin 時的對話最讓人啼笑皆非,Metta World Peace 說道:
“We think he needs a better haircut. I don't like that style. You're in New York, the fashion capital. Change your haircut, OK? You're a star now. Wear some shades. Shades, OK? Put down the nerdy Harvard book glasses. Put on some black shades, OK? With some leather pants. Change your style. Fashion. He's the type of guy who should wear leather pants, some nice shoes and change his fashion. You're Jeremy Lin, for godsakes. You know what I'm saying? You know? Put down that law book, stop reading the New York Times and start reading the Daily News. Newsday, that's the one. I like that one because there's always color in that one. What else? Wall Street Journal. Get some swag. You're in New York City. Put your hat to the back, too. Put your hat on backwards. Come to practice with your pants sagging and just tell them, ‘I don't feel like practicing.’ Practice? You know? Practice? And wear an Iverson jersey. You know? Come to practice with a cigar. Lit. ‘I'm Jeremy Lin.’ You know? He should change. We're all excited to play tonight. It's like the first time for everybody. Everybody's excited. Kobe's excited. He wants to get 50. He wants to welcome Jeremy Lin to his new level.

Jeremy Lin的成功和啓發作用,甚至連常春藤聯盟Ivy League的比賽都開始引起人民的注意,見“Jeremy Lin's emergence leads people to care about Ivy League athletes turned pro”。Jeremy Lin改變了專家“書呆子不會運動”的錯誤觀念。

老人倒是希望 Jeremy Lin:“Don't change your style”!Jememy Lin 本身就是 style。我喜歡你的髮型作風,不要當紐約客!

蘋果iPhone和iPad二手貨價值仍較高,保值所以比Android手機便宜


蘋果iPhone從2007年自今只有5款,但2008年10月出現的第一款Android手機後自今已有數不完的手機。iPhone的iOS 最新版iOS 5三年前的iPhone 3GS仍可用,但已進步到第四版的Android系統,2011年出現的手機還絕大部分不能用新版。事實上只要Android手機比新的系統發表前先上市,升級新系統就大有問題!
這些反應了兩大系統的大不同,但絕大部分人都完全不知道!


根據Priceonomics的研究,二貨市場iPhone和Android差很大。使用一年半後,iPhone二手貨仍有53%的價值,而Android只剩42%。
所以如果你聰明地知道要賣舊iPhone換新的,iPhone的價格其實是比Android手機便宜!!!
因為折舊低,iPhone其實比Android便宜40%以上。
而且iPhone新手機使用前幾個月,價格掉很少,但Android一但買了,價格迅速掉下來!
iPad的情況也一樣,買了一年後,iPad 2的價格仍有原價的一半,但Android的平板如雅馬遜的Kindle二手貨市場很差,根據Gazelle,一年的Kindle大約只剩25%至33%,跌速比iPad快22%。
