    全新的黑莓Z10智能手机

    黑莓全新出击 《纽约时报》

    黑莓10的一些创意确实堪称独创。屏幕上方有一道闪烁的微光,用来提示有东西正等着机主去处理,包括文本、电子邮件、语音邮件和Facebook的帖子。不用按任何物理按键就能点开屏幕;用拇指滑过屏幕,锁屏就会像窗帘一样掀起来,显示下面的内容。它速度飞快,酷劲十足。

    屏幕上没有短信或邮件的独立应用图标。所有的沟通渠道(包括Facebook、Twitter和电话)都列在一个集成条(Hub)里——这是一个向里点击就会显示在屏幕左侧的主收件箱列表。每个图标都会显示有多少条待处理信息,并可一键打开相应的应用。这是个一站式的命令中心,用起来感觉很好。

    黑莓背水一战内幕《财富》杂志

    手机设计一直都是劳心费力的事。黑莓Q10还以经典的物理键盘而闻名,到了Z10,就变成一款更像是iPhone或Android的触摸屏手机了。触屏键盘下有个热图,使用的时候,各个键的位置会根据敲击情况自动调整——从而减少拼写错误。软件的细节是一点点披露的,其中有一项新功能叫“快瞥”(peek),它能让用户移开自己正在处理的任务去看一下通知,然后迅速返回。另一项名为“流动”(flow)的功能让用户可在各应用间滑动,可让多个应用同时运行。

    Facebook手机广告收入占第4财季广告总收入1/4 科技博客THE NEXT WEB

    总体情况是,Facebook第四财季的总收入为15.85亿美元,比上一年增长40%。绝大部分收入来自广告,总额为13.3亿美元,占总收入的84%。公司称,该财季的广告收入比去年同期增长41%——如果Facebook排除汇率的年度变化,那这一增长率应该是43%。

    亚马逊如何驯服投资者 《哈佛商业评论》

    贝索斯是怎么做到这一点的?作为一个对冲基金老手,他对华尔街始终持怀疑态度,将华尔街视为呆头呆脑的有钱大叔,而不是遵循标准金融理论的高效的信息处理高手。华尔街大叔(也叫市场先生)慷慨大方时,贝索斯总能抓住机会大笔投资,不计较盈利。但当他们变得吝啬时,他也总能迅速跟着改变节奏。

    Twitter有成好莱坞灵感新源泉 英国《连线》杂志

    帕纳乔普罗斯的豪放泰迪熊只能算是个开始。去年,好莱坞开始从出人意料的来源寻找新的创意。2011年8月,一则在红迪网(Reddit)上贴出的话题提出设想,一支海军小分队被运往古罗马时期会发生什么故事,结果华纳兄弟影业(Warner Brothers)出面邀请这则话题的策划者詹姆斯•埃尔文加盟。社交网络正在成为电影业灵感的来源。网上贴出的任何内容都有可能成为电影业捕捉的对象。(财富中文网)

    BlackBerry, rebuilt, lives to fight another day [THE NEW YORK TIMES]

    Some of BlackBerry 10's ideas are truly ingenious. A subtle light blinks above the screen to indicate that something — a text, an e-mail message, voice mail, a Facebook post — is waiting for you. Without even pressing a physical button, you swipe up the screen; the Lock screen lifts like a drape as you slide your thumb, revealing what's underneath. It's fast and cool.

    There are no individual app icons for Messages or Mail. Instead, all communication channels (including Facebook, Twitter and phone calls) are listed in the Hub — a master in-box list that appears at the left edge when you swipe inward. Each reveals how many new messages await and offers a one-tap jump into the corresponding app. It's a one-stop command center that makes eminent sense.

    Inside BlackBerry's last stand [FORTUNE]

    The design of the phones have been labored over. The Q10 sports a classical physical keyboard and the Z10 is more like a typical iPhone or Android with a touchscreen. The touchscreen keyboard has a heat map beneath it so that, as customers use it, the position of keys adjusts to their keystrokes—leading to fewer spelling mistakes. The software, details of which have come out in dribs and drabs, introduces new features like "peek," which allows users to move aside the task they're working on to glance at notifications and then quickly come back. Another feature dubbed "flow" allows users to swipe between applications, keeping many open simultaneously.

    Facebook's mobile ad revenue made up 23% of its total ad revenue in Q4, worth $305 million [THE NEXT WEB]

    To paint a bigger picture, Facebook made $1.585 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter, an increase of 40 percent from the year prior. The majority of it came from advertising constituting $1.33 billion, or 84 percent of total revenue. The company says that the ad revenue this quarter is a 41 percent increase from the same quarter last year — it would have been 43 percent if Facebook excluded the impact of year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates.

    How Amazon trained its investors to behave [HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW]

    How has Bezos done this? Well, he's a hedge fund veteran who has always taken a skeptical view of Wall Street, treating it more as a loopy rich uncle than the efficient information processor of standard finance theory. When Uncle Wall Street (also known as Mr. Market) is in a generous mood, Bezos is always ready to take advantage by putting investment ahead of profitability. But he's also always been ready to shift gears when the mood turns stingy.

    How your next tweet could become a Hollywood blockbuster [WIRED UK]

    Panagopolous' brave teddy is just the start. In the past year, Hollywood has started to look in unexpected places for its ideas. In August 2011, a Reddit thread which posed the question of how a marine platoon transported to Roman times would fare resulted in an offer from Warner Brothers for its mastermind, James Erwin. Social networks are starting to inspire. Anything posted online is fair game.
